Village One

Oooh, our recent project with dekoder.org was just nominated for a Grimme Online Award. 🥳

Two weeks ago, we launched “My Community Talks” with ZEIT ONLINE—a platform that hosts dialogue events and brings people together to discuss interesting topics from society, business and communities. Village One designed the registration forms, built a brand-new participant dashboard where conversation partners can chat and arrange their meetings easily, and we worked (under the hood) on easy-to-use functions for event management and matching functionalities. The first event on the “My Community Talks” platform is for entrepreneurs, to discuss “business, politics, and social responsibility”. Learn more about it and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dNzkNEUK It was our great pleasure to work with the ZEIT ONLINE team on this project, especially Ulli Zimmermann and Sara Elizabeth Cooper. Thank you for your trust and support! A more detailed case study will follow, but for now, if you’re an entrepreneur, please sign up for the event and enjoy your conversation!

Our friends at Youth Policy Labs gGmbH recently announced their latest project: It’s called “Youth Direct”, a crowdfunded documentary movie about youth movements, created by young people themselves. They just published an in-depth article about it, which is well worth a read: https://lnkd.in/dMabhBHH Find the project on Kickstarter, including their goosebump-inducing trailer: https://lnkd.in/dg_A7yaM 📹

“Best team event ever!”—at Hacking Gutenberg p98a.berlin! Two weeks ago we spent a day with Erik and his team at the letterpress workshop Hacking Gutenberg p98a.berlin, printing posters the manual way: Learning about riso printing and metal type, arranging everything by hand, test printing, adjusting, fixing, inking the letters, rolling the paper, … all on historic (and slightly scary) printing machines. It not only allowed us to experience print history, but also gave us a new perspective on digital tools. Highly recommended! We’ve written a long newsletter to document the day, with many impressions (photographic and on paper): https://lnkd.in/ePTWrJeG Thank you Lilith, Lennart, Helene and Erik, we’ll be back! #HackingGutenberg #Letterpress #Metaltype #TeamEvent #Workshop #Berlin #PrintingPress

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2nd birthday party last Friday! 🫶 🎈🎂 🎁 We had a really lovely time catching up, and enjoying some beers and slices of focaccia with you all! 😊 In the days leading up to the party, the entire Village One team spent some quality time co-working and attending an amazing letterpress workshop at Hacking Gutenberg p98a.berlin. More about that in our upcoming “The Villager's Dispatch” newsletter: https://lnkd.in/emiNeJ_t

Today is the first Saturday in July, which means it’s also the international day of cooperatives – this year with the theme “Cooperatives Building a Better Future for All”. It has been celebrated all over the world for more than 100 years! A mere two years ago, when we started Village One, we were looking for a more democratic, egalitarian and empowering way to structure a small creative studio: We found it in the form of a worker-owned cooperative, where all employees meet as equal co-owners of the business. Since then we’ve networked, exchanged knowledge and collaborated with dozens of other cooperatives, becoming a part of a much larger community of people who see the value of cooperation, pooling resources and acknowledging that we’re stronger together! That last bit became especially apparent yesterday, when Dorothée and Harry attended the first cooperative barcamp, organized by #GenoDigital. Approximately 70 cooperators from all kinds of contexts met for a day of spontaneous sessions and conversations at taz genossenschaft – topics included feminist leadership, steward ownership, updates to cooperative legislation, platform cooperatives, digital tooling, community management and raising awareness. What an inspiring, uplifting and optimistic day – thanks a lot for bringing us all closer together, Johanna, Matti, Marc and Fabian! Below you can find a few impressions, including some new stickers we made (on the last photo). 👀 #CoopsDay #CoopsDay2024 #Cooperatives #Cooperation #SolidarityEconomy #Genossenschaft #Genossenschaften 🤝 101LAB / Agentur für digitale Transformation, Reinblau eG, Wigwam, Historiker-Genossenschaft eG, Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung, Neues Amt Altona eG, Ela Kagel, wechange eG, Sparda-Bank Berlin eG, Ostwerk, coapp, Prokon Regenerative Energien eG, Bürgerwerke eG, SuperCoop Berlin eG, akomo, WTF Kooperative eG, Smart Germany and many more!

We can’t wait for the cooperatives barcamp, happening this Friday in Berlin, lovingly organized by #GenoDigital! Dorothée and Harry are going to be there, looking forward to discuss worker ownership and starting a design/tech co-op in Germany. Say hi if you see us! ✌️

🚀 Warum unser Crowdfunding unterstützen? 🚀 🌿 SuperCoop ist ein genossenschaftlicher Mitmach-Supermarkt. Wir denken und machen den Lebensmittelhandel neu, um gute, regionale und erschwingliche Produkte in allen Kühlschränken zu ermöglichen. Damit wir das langfristig und nachhaltig tun können, brauchen wir weitere Mitglieder! Über 1.500 Mitglieder sind schon dabei und kaufen aus einem Sortiment von über 4.000 Produkte in ihrem eigenen Supermarkt ein! 🏁 Ziel des Crowdfunings ist es 350 neue Mitglieder zu gewinnen und 70.000 Euro, um unseren Supermarkt nachhaltig zu betreiben und unser Konzept zu erweitern. Konkret meint das: Wir können dann unsere Schichten füllen und noch mehr Gemeinschaft schaffen - mit Café-Ecke, Mittagstisch, größerer Unverpackt-Angebot und Regalvermietung an lokale Produzent*innen. 🎁 Insgesamt wird es fast 20 Dankeschöns während des Crowdfunings geben. Die Dankeschöns werden nach und nach freigeschaltet - es lohnt sich also, immer mal wieder reinzuschauen. Neben Mitgliedschaften könnt ihr Pullover, T-Shirts und Einkaufsgutscheine unserer Coop erwerben. Es sind aber auch tolle Partner dabei, z.B.: 1 Tag Co-Working bei Tüchtig, 10 handsignierte Holy Shit Bücher von Annette Jensen, 4 Plätze in einem der legendären Pasta Madre Workshops oder ein opulente Käse-Wein-Tasting mit unserer Marie Populus. ⚠️ Wie du uns am besten unterstützen teilst?
