In today's era, where connection and collaboration are paramount, networking has become an invaluable skill. At our coliving space in Barcelona, we don't just offer you a place to live; we provide a vibrant community where networking can propel your career and enrich your life. Here are some tips to boost your networking skills:

1. Scheduled networking events

At Viu, we regularly organize events, including themed nights, inspirational talks, or collaborative activities. Participating in these events offers a chance to meet like-minded residents. Barcelona is also buzzing with networking events; platforms like Meetup are excellent resources.

2. Use common spaces

Our coliving features spaces designed to encourage interaction. Whether it's the shared kitchen, lounge, or outdoor areas, use them as opportunities to naturally connect with other residents.

3. Join groups and activities

Be part of specific interest groups or activities aligned with your interests. Whether it's a book club, sports group, or cooking classes, these platforms connect you with people who share your passions.

4. Engage in coworking sessions

If you work remotely, join our coworking sessions. Working in a shared environment not only enhances productivity but also provides opportunities to connect with other professionals.

5. Use digital platforms

In the digital age, networking extends online. Join groups and communities on platforms like Slack or WhatsApp, where you can exchange ideas, questions, and opportunities.

6. Be open and friendly

Attitude is key. Be open, friendly, and willing to meet new residents. A simple greeting in the kitchen can be the start of a meaningful connection.

7. Offer and seek help

Networking is a two-way street. Offer your assistance when you can and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. Building relationships based on reciprocity is crucial.

8. Participate in collaborative projects

If the opportunity arises to collaborate on projects within the coliving space, don't hesitate to join. Working together on something concrete strengthens relationships and creates lasting bonds.

9. Keep your resident profile updated

Ensure your profile on the coliving platform is complete and up-to-date. This makes it easier for other residents to get to know you and understand your interests.

Networking is an ongoing process. Be consistent in your participation in events and activities. The strongest connections are built over time.
