<\/p>\n

Want to make something happen together? It takes communication.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Coming up with an idea is easy. Maybe you want to organise a flea market together, start a creative writing workshop, plant a garden or set up a language caf\u00e9. A few people express interest and take on different roles, and then questions<\/b> start to arise: How exactly should we bring the project to life? When does something need to be ready? Should we meet up? And what happens next?<\/p>\n

Collective self-organisation thrives on communication and coordination.<\/b> It\u2019s about people sharing ideas, making decisions together, distributing tasks and taking responsibility. It\u2019s not one person who has to organise everything alone \u2013 everyone contributes their own skills and abilities, in whatever way they can.<\/p>\n

To make this easier, Openki now offers two new chat features:<\/b><\/p>\n

You can now contact each other directly via one-to-one chat<\/b> to clarify questions, develop ideas further and coordinate things. In addition, members of each group\u2019s Coordination Team<\/b> have access to a group chat<\/b>, where they can organise themselves and plan activities together.<\/p>\n

The new chats complement the existing public group discussion: while everyone can read and contribute to the public discussion, the chats allow for communication between members.<\/p>\n

Together with the freely customisable roles and responsibilities, these new features offer even more ways to make working together easier. (Find out more in our previous blog post about roles<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Because Openki is not just about bringing people with similar interests together \u2013 it\u2019s also about helping them turn their ideas into reality.<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s write to each other, share ideas and organise things together!<\/b><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019d like to get in touch with us, you can find different ways to do so on our contact page<\/a>. You can also reach us directly on the Openki platform using the new chat feature \u2013 for example write to Markus<\/a>, who wrote these lines, or to Madeleine<\/a>, who has recently joined the team to support you as part of the community. We look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n

\nAnd if you\u2019re part of a Coordination-Team, you can also use the group chat to communicate with other members of the Coordination-Team.
