WorkingSpace.es @ ManuelZea @
Main problem of Spain:
meaning and
communication
Meaning: coworking is not a common definition yet.
Communication of centers are really poor.
The communication and the unknowledge of the word
“coworking”, makes it difficult for the centers to be able
to create their community .
problems
