Coffee and Work

This week out post will be a little bit different. Today I’m here to tell you about all these things that happended over last ten days. Yes, we are already on May 10 and this month, as usual, is going on super fast. Some people say that this is not good, other people say the opposite. The fact is: many things have happened! Today I come to tell you a little about some of these activities.

May 1st

The worker’s day was marked by the first event held in partnership among Coffee and Work project, Poli Lopes and Packbrand, with Rosana Silveira. We were colleagues during the doctorate and for our affinities as communication professionals – Rosana works with advertising, Poli is journalist and myself, Gislene, I’m public relations – we decided to create the “As de Paus” (Aces of Clubs) project, whose purpose conversations related to work, the market and communication from different points of view.

For us, from Coffee and Work, it is a great opportunity to develop our engagement’s solution that aims to instigate different aspects related to the communication process, the relations between individuals and the productivity of our differences. If you want to know more about this project, stay connected with us! We will spread the news here soon.

The next day, we took the Coffee and Work project to the Ufo Workspace, a Porto Alegre South Zone  pole. In a super cool dialogue about working in collaborative spaces, we highlight the strengths and challenges of sharing resources, time and knowledge with different people at all time.

At UFO, I told them some results of the research that I conducted during my doctorate, whose focus was the work in coworking context. It was a delightful opportunity to meet people with eye brightness and willingness to collaborate and more: learn to collaborate, something still rare in our context.

Coffee and Work Dia do Trabalhador Workers Day

May 7th

Coffee and Work Dia do Trabalhador Workers Day

Closing our week of events, on May 7 and 8, I’ve participated of Grow with Google with the project Coffee and Work. The  giant company of technology, that takes care of our life with all its solutions, has a super cool project to train professionals to be more successful in using their tools. On the 7th, the focus was “Digital Skills for Teachers” and to find different inspirations for our training solution, we were there. Despite the focus on basic education, many implementations that have been presented were motivating to the preparation of a novelty that will be launched soon here by the project. Stay tuned!

On 8th, the chat and the vibe were totally different. As expected, the training in “Digital Marketing” was focused on presenting the portfolio of tools of Google and that are available – many free of charge – to entrepreneurs  increase the visibility of their business.

Despite the superficiality on the treatment of themes, even because time was short, and a focus on Google solutions’ advertising, these two days were a great opportunity to evaluate how we are using the internet for our business, education and for information construction. Themes such as fakenews, security and digital citizenship went through the two days of lectures and reminded us that despite this arsenal of technology at our disposal, always, the choice of how to use it is ours and the consequences as well.
