We recently received a visit from the Jungfrau Zeitung. Topic: New, flexible forms of work and offers such as the Haslital platform enable other life plans. Much will be different than before, much will be possible. So much that even city residents of Zurich take heart and decide to move to Hasli - which of course we understand only too well 😉

Platformers Profiles - please fill in!
Around ten people now work regularly on the platform, and there are also individual guests who stop by irregularly or spontaneously. The platform is a coworking space, but we also hope that the people who are on site can exchange ideas, discuss and, whenever possible, inspire and support each other. To make it easier to get to know each other and exchange ideas, we have created a nice poster wall in the A5. Some profiles are already hanging and we ask the other platters to fill out their profile, take a photo and pin the whole thing on the wall. Thank you so much!
All those who do not regularly come to the platform are of course also invited to take a closer look at the platformers, or at least their profiles. The A5 is open to everyone - including coffee!
New guest in the platform shop window: Natirli!
Viele von euch haben sie sicherlich bereits im Plattform Schaufenster gesehen: Die bunten Plakate mit verschiedenen Porträts und der Aufschrift «Natirli». Sie stehen für die neue Kampagne des Standortmarketings & Regionalentwicklung Region Haslital Brienz. Ziel der Kampagne ist es, die Leute im Hasli und darüber hinaus zum Einkaufen vor Ort zu animieren, in Erinnerung zu rufen, welche Wirtschaftsleistung die Unternehmen für die Region erbringen und wie viele Arbeitsplätze die Geschäfte und Unternehmen für die einheimische Bevölkerung schaffen. Wer mag, kann den Wettbewerbstalon ausfüllen und einen Gutschein im Wert von 500.- Franken gewinnen. Die Aktion «Natirli» ist übrigens auch auf Facebook.

Dear platformers, dear partners, interested parties
Holidays and excursions are slowly but surely again within reach. The current guest is just right in our shop window. It is the first ecocapsule in Switzerland.
It will be available in Guttannen from summer 2020. In the «Ecocapsule» you can cook, sleep and live and it supplies itself completely with electricity and water, making it a so-called self-sufficient mini-home. You can rent the «Ecocapsule» and it can accommodate one or two people. The project was initiated by the “Guttannen moves” association. Welcome to the showcase of the Haslital platform!
Haslital platform now on social media
After around a year of operation, we have now set up two social media channels at the Haslital platform. This way we can inform all interested parties about our projects, events and other current content. For the start we decided to make an appearance on the platform Facebook and up Twitter decided. We are of course happy to receive likes, comments and suggestions from our community!
Update Covid-19 and platform
Because of the corona pandemic, the platform has been closed to the public for the past few weeks. Active platformers were only allowed to be on site five at a time. We will be discussing at the plant group meeting this week what to do after the easing measures announced by the Federal Council. Of course we will keep you up to date.

Dear platformers, dear partners, interested parties
In fact, the Haslital platform is already one year old. It has been since the end of March 2019 opened and has been used briskly ever since. Cooperation-meeting point-innovation - the platform was launched under these keywords. Daniel Studer, member of the founding team and president of the cooperative, looks back with satisfaction on the first year, even though there is currently no real birthday party due to the corona pandemic. "We celebrate and are happy in silence," grins Dani. "And of course we're still very proud, we've already managed the first year with the platform."
Coworking works best
The strongest and most active mainstay of the platform was the coworking space in this first year. "We are satisfied with the development here," says Dani. «We have now issued annual subscriptions for ten working people. It is a good mix of self-employed and employees from start-ups, experienced companies and public administration. » Other people use the platform irregularly as a flexible workplace and Dani is confident that a few more platformers will be added. Foreigners who go on vacation in the Haslital also occasionally work on the platform. An ideal combination of work and leisure.
First public events held
The other two pillars, meeting point and innovation, are already having an impact. For example, there is one Exchange boutique in the platform, external people use the meeting and seminar rooms and have been with partners smaller projects initiated. The first events also took place, such as the street festival “up in the village” or the successful one 1. Repair café in the Haslital. The company group, which now consists of seven people, always comes up with good ideas on how these elements could be expanded in the platform, but sometimes not everything can be realized due to time constraints. But the goal is still to increase in the areas of meeting point and innovation.
Postponed cooperative meeting
Like so much these days, the meeting of the platform cooperatives is currently not possible. However, we will be happy to inform you about the further procedure if it is somewhat clearer how things will go in the coming weeks due to the Corona crisis.
Working on the platform and Covid-19
It is important to us to support the fight against Covid-19 and to comply with the requirements of the Federal Council. We therefore ask active platformers to work from home whenever possible. In addition, the number of people present is limited to a maximum of five people. Subscriptions or day passes are no longer issued for the time being. The platform is closed to the public until further notice.
As a test, additional study on the 1st floor
Also, but not only because of Corona, we rented an additional study of around 10 m2 on the first floor of the platform. This way, those who are still working on the platform can distribute themselves better. The room is also suitable for platformers who want to make calls or work in a very concentrated manner. You can also reserve this room accordingly in the Google Calendar.
2. Repair Café postponed from early May 2020
Patching instead of throwing away is the motto of the repair café. The café should have taken place for the second time on May 2nd, after the offer had been very well received last autumn. Due to the Corona crisis, the repair café is now postponed to autumn. We are happy if you collect numerous items that have to be repaired by then and then bring them over to the platform!
