Peeragogy - The power to learn & innovate through collaboration
We believe that there is no shortage of good ideas for solving the problems of our time, but there is a need to introduce new socio-economic and educational in dedicated public spaces for to development and sustainability planning. Bergamo HUB will be designed and engineered to meet this requirement. we decided to propose to the use-destination of the ex-Central thermoelectric plant situated at via Daste e Spalenga Bergamo ITALY as spaces equipped with all tools necessary for the social meeting support, cultural, creative and technology for the city. The endogenesis design, generation, internal training project comes as study module applied to the research community in the field of education and training: Peeragogy.org. We want to allow the talent and creativity of the citizens of Bergamo to find the best conditions in order to realize their ideas, project proposals and aspirations. But above all, spaces for meaningful encounters, exchange and inspiration, full of different people that will do amazing things together. Bergamo HUB will be part of an international network of beautiful physical spaces where entrepreneurs and creative professionals will have access to all the resources also inspired by the work of others, have innovative ideas, develop useful relationships and individual new market opportunities and development. It will be a space dedicated for innovation and social entrepreneurship and the people who will promote it. Here you can meet people very different, contractors and operators non-profit organizations, professionals, young people, students, educators, designers and experts in different sectors, all united by the desire to improve and enhance the lives of community sharing ideas and the BG challenges for the future. What your contribution will achieve.

Coworking: what does it mean for us?
Share space and share ideas. The sharing of space is an essential, which allows everyone to have a physical place (nice) where you can present and promote their ideas for the city. The conception of the office, with a lot of walls and locked rooms, where the interaction and socialization are minimized, in our opinion, does not work anymore, except for those already entrepreneurial initiated and with a workforce important. The true value of an item is exactly Hub give a soul to the physical space. All persons who attend Bergamo Hub and its creative workshops will feel at ease, never not receive this place as an office or a classroom, and will therefore be more likely to open up, to socialize and interact with other members and entrepreneurs. With the support of Hosting team also, the goal is to create synergies between all members and promote new projects of social entrepreneurship and cultural center for the city.

The economic wellbeing of the participants is essential to build an economically sustainable network of peers, so that these great ideas don’t just remain ”wishful thinking”.


 * We can make free technology work better by ”matching up participants based on what they want, and what they can provide.”
 * We can make free technology work better by ”building a better (free, open, distributed, peer produced) knowledge base.”
 * We can support learning by ”working with any/every partner project working in this space”. (Ideally, we would partner with organizations like Ohloh and OpenHatch that ”already” work with many open source software projects.)
 * We can help people provide more information about projects by ”building ontologies that describe free technology and its processes.”
 * We can be a communication platform, where we ”host all kinds of exchanges about free technology (learning, contractual/financial, etc.).”
 * We can ”provide ’sources of reputation’ for people working in this space.”
 * We can ”offer consulting services to individual people and projects (about questions like ’How can my free software project work better?’), where our advice is based on experience with a wide number of different projects”

Other Ways You Can Help
Come to Bergamo and participate in person via Open Space Technology (OST)!

The Open Space Technology is a methodology that allows, within any type of organization, to create working groups (workshops) and meetings (meetings) particularly inspired and productive. It has been tested in the last twenty years in different countries around the world, used in the management of teams of minimum of 5 to a maximum of 2100 persons. This is an innovative method since in this way people tend not to get bored and, thanks to a pleasant climate, in a relatively short time they produce a summary document of all proposals / projects developed from the group (the instant report). Document that in addition to its practical usefulness becomes testimony of a job done and guarantee commitments.
