How can you connect with people from your local community and invite them to your coworking space, shared workspace, or whatever you want to call it?

(That's where you say neighbourhood space!)

I visited the [Urban MBA](https://www.linkedin.com/company/urbanmba/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) coworking space by Old Street in London this week.

[Ali Kakande](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAALqOusBhuuTo5p9rV2F38yb9KAt-6DcKxQ?ref=berniejmitchell.com) founded a project in lockdown called [Carib Eats](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAADOMiQYBQEUsVGDNXbYAnPQOOg3a41tc-6U?ref=berniejmitchell.com), which invites older adults to get together, eat food, and connect.

They're doing this downstairs in the EdTech Centre at the [Urban MBA](https://www.linkedin.com/company/urbanmba/?ref=berniejmitchell.com) space.

These folks are eating oxtail and rice and laughing and laughing and laughing.

A 3D printer or a virtual reality machine surrounds them.

The 3D printer had printed a model of a quantum computer, Kofi, and one of a series of lessons on using tech.

It was one of the best uses of community uses of a coworking space I have ever taken part in.
