Home for Labs teams
A Hub hosts one or more Labs teams, giving them the physical conditions to collaborate intensively over days, weeks, or months.
Physical venues
Cocreate Earth Hubs
The places where Labs teams live and work together — designed to host short- and long-term co-creation programmes with full stay and meals.
Exchange & co-creation
Hubs run programmes that connect national and international Labs teams, so practice and people move across the network.
Built for the work
Designed to facilitate the programmes and operations of the Labs in an optimal way — including full stay and meals for residential programmes.
Where the network becomes physical
Digital collaboration carries much of the network’s day-to-day work, but some things only happen in person. The Cocreate Earth Hubs are the physical venues of the Labs: places designed specifically to host Labs teams and the programmes that bring them together.
A Hub hosts one or more Labs teams and runs exchange and co-creation programmes that connect teams nationally and internationally. It is built for both short-term and long-term programmes, with full stay and meals, so that participants can focus entirely on the work while they are there.
Designed around the Labs
A Hub is not a generic venue. Its organisation and operations are shaped around the needs of the Labs — the rhythms of intensive co-creation, the mix of focused work and shared life, the logistics of hosting visiting teams. The point is to remove friction, so the collaborative work can go as deep as it needs to.
A shared platform
Beyond hosting, Hubs act as broader platforms for networking and resource sharing. They give Labs a supportive environment in which to test ideas, exchange methods, and build the relationships that the wider network depends on.
The first model
The first Hub — Rural Hub 1 — is the prototype for everything that follows: a model whose organisational and operational structure is designed to be replicated across a growing network of national and international Hubs.
