Multicultural coworking

/in /by

One of the most notorious features of Coworking is the diversity of profiles that use them. And we not only mention the types of professionals, we also refer to their origin.

Working in a multicultural environment can help us to enrich ourselves culturally and significantly improve the following aspects:

  • Communication: Normally, different languages ​​are spoken in coworking spaces, this can be an opportunity for those who want to learn a foreign language or improve it if they already have a base.
  • Tolerance: Working with people of different nationalities helps us and teaches respect for diversity. Having tolerance in these cases will help us make our labor relations better and more fluid, respecting the beliefs or opinions of others.
  • Learn new things: Working alongside people from other countries allows us to learn new things continuously. This is so professionally and personally. That is why it is an opportunity for constant growth, for the mere fact of being in contact with people who have lived what we do not know.
  • Creativity: it is closely linked to communication, learning new things and having a very open mind. If you want to learn about other cultures, you will be more receptive when it comes to understanding their values ​​and this will allow you to stimulate your creativity.

 

Definitely working in a multicultural environment is very important when advancing professionally; It makes us more tolerant, respectful people and enriches us in every way. For this reason Coworking spaces have an added value, and in Espai114 we are witnesses of it!

Tuppers and Coworking!

/in /by

 

With the return to the after-summer routine also returns the puzzle of preparing the takeaway to the office every day Coworking or, failing that, eating every day out with the expense that this entails and the consequent mismatch in our food. Because we already know that in the restaurant we usually ask for what we want most instead of what our body needs.

 

Preparing our own takeaway to work only gives us advantages; it is more economical, healthier and allows us to create a routine following better defined dietary guidelines.

 

That’s why today we explain how to organize when preparing the meal, and we provide you with a weekly menu with which you will not have to worry about improvising every day and with which we assure you that you will eat rich and healthy from Monday to Friday.

 

Also, to make it even easier for you, we recommend that on one day, on Sunday for example, you prepare most of the dishes that you will take to the office so that the effort you have to make during the week is minimal.

This useful planning method today is known as Batch Cooking and it will help you save a lot of time and energy.

 

How to organize a weekly menu?

 

In order to prepare weekly tuppers correctly, we must consider the following aspects:

  • If possible, we should avoid repeating recipes. An unchanging menu can stop you from including tuppers in your diet, try to prepare varied meals that include all the necessary nutrients. This means that our dishes must include pasta, rice, cereals or legumes, accompanied by meat, vegetables or fish.
  • Presentation matters. Food enters through the eyes, and if it’s appetizing and attractive, it’ll be easier for us to eat at ease.

 

For the elaboration of the following menu we have followed the dish method. According to this method, for a meal to be balanced it must be formed a 50 per vegetable,a 25 per proteinand the remaining 25 for carbohydrates. Starting from this base, here are 5 balanced meals that you can easily take in tuppers to the office:

 

MONDAY Grilled vegetables (asparagus, peppers, eggplant…) + Hummus + Rice
TUESDAY Salad + Grilled salmon + Microwave-spiced Potatoes
WEDNESDAY Salted mushroom + with chicken + pesto pasta
THURSDAY Zucchini cream with potato+ Prawn scramble
FRIDAY Lentils salad with brown rice

 

 

In addition, taking a few nuts (nuts, almonds, pistachios…) or some piece of fresh fruit will help you complete your meal. And finally, don’t forget to accompany it with plenty of water!

 

More and more people are preparing takeaways to the office, and after reading these tips we expect you to be one of them. Are you still eating out, or are you one of those who take the food to Coworking?

Summer coworking

/in /by

We’d be fooling ourselves if we said we’re just as productive in summer as we were in the rest of the year. Heat, beach or summer plans can play a role.

Are you one of those people who can’t afford to disconnect from work in the summer? Working in a Coworking can be a very good idea!

Working from home can be very complicated, and those who have children know it very well, as they are their months of vacation and are at home all day. Screams, laughter, anger… All this makes it impossible to concentrate and create a suitable working environment. And if it’s not the kids, there’s always going to be some distraction in between!

Time flexibility is helpful if you have to work in the summer. The people who work in our Coworking have access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is an advantage if one day you have to work very late or you are simply inspired and want to prepare an important meeting.

Summer can be a time of relaxation and happiness, but it can also be a bit harsh. High temperatures can cause our work rate to slow considerably, but our great ally is the air conditioning that makes our working days more bearable.

The location of our Coworking in Badalona is perfect. We are in the center of Badalona, in an area very well connected with several bus lines that work very well, and close to the metro and train stops.

Can you imagine shutting down the computer at 17:00, and going straight for a walk along the Badalona’s Rambla? Much quieter than the Barcelona’s one, it invites you to have an ice cream while walking quietly, disconnecting from work.

Also, we are only 5 minutes walk from the beach, what more can you ask for?

Many times we have taken advantage of this together with our Coworkers, and we have made meetings to go to the beach. As good early birds, we usually meet at 7:30h on the beach to take the first dip of the day and have breakfast together.

We can’t complain about the restaurants we have nearby either. From time to time we will also eat together, and among the restaurants that we like the most there are que Que s’hi cou, Cafè de les Antípodes or Fujitaka Teppan Okonomiyaki. Always teaming up!

Working in a Coworking space in summer allows you to have more concentration, flexibility, comfort and the opportunity to work with and learn from other professionals. What are you waiting for to jump into the Coworker lifestyle?
