Aurora Coworking contributed to the Coworking Spain Conference 2023 panel on Rural Coworking, sharing its experience in building successful, community-driven coworking spaces in rural Slovenia. The discussion highlighted how coworking fosters local development despite challenges like low population density.
Aurora Coworking was featured in Cobot’s blog article Finding a Cure for Loneliness, showcasing its philosophy of building sustainable, member-managed coworking communities in rural areas. The article highlights how Aurora fosters meaningful connections and a sense of belonging, even in smaller towns, through its unique coworking approach.

10 Years of Community-Driven Coworking Experience
Project AC Celje
Ten years ago, we started building a vibrant coworking community in Murska Sobota. A year and a half ago, we expanded to Ljubljana. Now, we’re excited to explore the possibility of bringing Aurora Coworking to Celje.Aurora Coworking is more than just a workspace – it’s a community where entrepreneurship is our shared language. Our members help shape the culture, take initiative, and collaborate with the managing team to make key decisions. Think of Aurora as a decentralized, flat organization – much like a DAO – providing not just a comfortable place to work, but also fostering a culture of support, sharing, and growth.We welcome freelancers and small teams (2-3 people) who value collaboration and independence.We believe in collaboration, not competition. Aurora Coworking seeks to work hand-in-hand with other organizations supporting entrepreneurship in Celje and beyond. Our spaces are designed exclusively for our members – they can host events and start their own activities, ensuring a focused and supportive environment for all who work here.
Join us in building something meaningful together.
Celje, we’re ready. Are you?

More about the idea
At Aurora Coworking, our goal is to create a thriving coworking community in Celje with around 20 dedicated members. We believe this is the right size to cover essential costs such as rent, utilities, and management expenses through flexible, long-term memberships. Unlike traditional coworking spaces, we don’t hire employees to manage day-to-day operations. Instead, Jose and Teja share responsibilities, ensuring smooth operations across administration, legal, financial, technological, and community-building aspects. Our approach is designed to be flexible, member-driven, and resilient – which is why we focus on multi-month agreements rather than daily or weekly memberships. We want to build a space that grows with its members, offering stability and a genuine sense of community.

DELIMO 10 LET IZKUŠENJ S COWORKINGOM,
KI TEMELJI NA SKUPNOSTI
Aurora Coworking Lab
Občine, lokalne skupnosti in organizacije podpiramo pri oblikovanju trajnostnih, v skupnost usmerjenih coworking prostorov.
Z več kot desetletjem izkušenj pri vzpostavljanju samozadostnih, člansko vodenih coworking skupnosti Aurora Coworking Lab ponuja preverjen pristop k ustvarjanju prostorov za sodelovanje in rast. Svoje znanje, metodologije in filozofijo coworkinga želimo deliti z občinami, lokalnimi skupnostmi, razvojnimi agencijami in univerzami ter vas podpreti pri zagonu vaših coworking pobud, ki bodo spodbujale povezovanje, inovacije in lokalni razvoj.
Kako lahko podpremo vaš coworking projekt?
Na osnovi naših desetletnih izkušenj v Aurora Coworking Lab pomagamo občinam, lokalnim skupnostim in organizacijam pri vzpostavitvi uspešnih coworking prostorov. Poznamo procese, ki so potrebni za uspešno delovanje coworking prostorov, razumemo, kaj iščejo uporabniki (vemo tudi, česa še ne vedo, da potrebujejo), ter ponujamo samozadostni model, ki je bolj odporen od visokocenovnih in kapitalsko intenzivnih alternativ. Z našim pristopom postavimo ljudi na prvo mesto, s tem pa krepimo skupnost ter zagotavljamo dolgoročno vzdržnost in pozitiven družbeni vpliv vašega coworking prostora. Izpolnite spodnji obrazec, da se pogovorimo, kako lahko podpremo vaš projekt.
Naši dosežki: Preverjene izkušnje s trajnostnim Coworkingom
Prilagodljiv poslovni model – Uspešno se prilagaja tržnim in lokalnim razmeram ter zagotavlja dolgoročno vzdržnost in odpornost.
Skupnostno vodenje – Model, ki spodbuja močne socialne vezi, sodelovanje in soodgovornost med člani.
Učinkovito brez zaposlenih – Člansko vodenje omogoča nemoteno delovanje prostora brez potrebe po stalno zaposlenem osebju.
Preizkušeno v manjših mestih – Naš model uspešno deluje tudi zunaj velikih urbanih središč in prinaša pozitiven vpliv na lokalne skupnosti.
Več o Aurora Coworking
Aurora Coworking je bil dvakrat prepoznan na Central European Startup Awards v kategoriji najboljši coworking prostor.
Naše izkušnje temeljijo na vzpostavitvi in upravljanju dveh coworking prostorov v dveh zelo različnih regijah v Sloveniji - Aurora Coworking Ljubljana in Aurora Coworking Murska Sobota. Vsak od teh prostorov je prilagojen edinstvenim demografskim in poslovnim potrebam, vendar sta oba uspešna zaradi naše preverjene metodologije za gradnjo skupnosti.

Aurora Coworking je sodeloval na Coworking Spain Conference 2023, kjer smo v panelu o podeželskem coworkingu delili izkušnje o vzpostavljanju uspešnih, skupnostno vodenih coworking prostorov na podeželju v Sloveniji. V razpravi smo izpostavili, kako coworking spodbuja lokalni razvoj kljub izzivom, ki jih prinaša majhna gostota prebivalstva.
Naš pristop h coworkingu je bil predstavljen tudi v blogu Cobot v članku Finding a Cure for Loneliness, kjer smo pokazali, kako Aurora Coworking gradi trajnostne, člansko vodene coworking skupnosti na podeželju in spodbuja pristne povezave ter občutek pripadnosti, tudi v manjših krajih.
Cobot je vodilni ponudnik programske opreme za upravljanje coworking prostorov, ki globalno podpira coworking skupnosti pri učinkovitem upravljanju in rasti.(Avtor članka je Marc Navarro.)
