How do you practise the coworking value accessibility in your coworking space?
Many people think you have to redesign your coworking space, and it costs millions of pounds.
But Dom, from the Purple Goat Agency, who was on our London Coworking Assembly panel at the Workspace Design Show London panel last month, explained it like this.
When you do a few things around accessibility in your space, you'll get people in.
When you do that, you'll learn how to accommodate them and the reality of the situation, and then you can build upon that.
It's far better to do something and iterate on it than do nothing at all.
There's a staggering 24% of the UK population, which means millions of people have a disability.
Of course, that is a wide range of things from neurodiversity to physically disabled.
There is a very high chance you could meet the accessibility needs of a massive proportion of that 24%, and you don't know you can.
They don't know about you, and all you need to do is find out how to communicate what you can do and who you can realistically do it for.
In the same session, Jeannine pointed out that her De Kamer, Inc. coworking space in the historic part of Amsterdam will never be fully accessible, and that is ok.
They go as far as possible and can go further in other De Kamer, Inc. locations. An excellent place to keep up with this conversation is via AXSChat here on LinkedIn and hashtag#AXSChat on Twitter
