Strategy workshop
Shaping the future: Sustainability at the heart of your company
![Solarpunk Now](https://cocolab.coconat-space.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Solarpunk-Now.jpg)
How do you really bring sustainability into the company – so that everyone in the team gets involved? In this workshop, run by our great partner SolarPunkNow, we’ll work together to develop a customized sustainability strategy that will future-proof your business. With Beenius and Infinity Stonepaper, innovative, sustainable materials, we go far beyond conventional approaches. Instead of just talking, you become active yourself: you build models, visualize ideas and develop tangible solutions. In interactive phases, we combine analysis, creative design and concrete planning – using methods from design thinking, permaculture and SCRUM. At the end of the day, you will not only have a strong alpha version of your sustainability strategy, but also concrete projects that can be implemented immediately. You can even take the results with you as a sustainable, beautiful 3D model made of beeswax and bamboo.
Participants: min. 6 to max. 20 people
Duration: 6-8 hours
Language: German or English
Vision Retreat
Magnetic vision honeycombs in a printed linen bag
![IMG_6342](https://cocolab.coconat-space.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/IMG_6342-scaled.jpg)
Under the expert guidance of our great partner BrALI Teamretreats & Offsites, you will develop a vision (duration 1.5 days) for your organization or you can bring your vision with you.
You materialize the vision permanently with the laser cutter as a honeycomb structure. The stylish wooden boards can be creatively designed and become even more upbeat with colorful Plexiglas frames. Thanks to self-adhesive neodymium magnets, they can embellish your office on magnetic wall paint above the photocopier, on the fridge or on a metal board next to your desk.
So that the vision is always with you at future offsites (vision honeycombs hold on every flipchart/whiteboard stand), we will screen-print a high-quality canvas bag (and a few T-shirts if you like) together.
Participants: min. 4 – max. 20 people
Duration: approx. 4h (optional + 12h vision development)
Language: German or English

Would you like to be creative together and learn something about modern technologies at the same time?
You’ll get an exclusive tour of our makerspace and an introduction to the fascinating possibilities of laser cutting. Afterwards, you can create your own 2D design on the computer as a team using the open source software Inkscape and then produce it. We can cut and engrave wood or perspex plates on the laser. You can produce professional name badges, key rings, breakfast boards or decorations in all kinds of shapes (e.g. your company logo). You can of course take the result home with you at the end.

Duration: approx. 3 hours

Haven’t you always wanted to have a bust of your boss on your shelf?
In our workshop, you will scan yourselves using a professional 3D scanner and then print yourselves out in our 3D printers. At the end of the day, you can then take a miniature version of yourself home with you.
In this workshop, you will be given a tour of the Makerspace, learn about the technology of 3D scanning and printing and can also try out some of the work steps yourself. If you like, you can then examine the model of yourself with professional virtual reality glasses (looking at yourself from behind is an exciting experience).

Construction projects at Coconat – Creating real stuff with your hands
![IMG_6332](https://cocolab.coconat-space.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_6332-scaled.jpg)
Do you want to get out of the office… be creative, work physically and build something together as a team that will be really used afterwards?
The classic activitiy is to build a raft together – it’s fun, brings the team together and everyone can contribute their skills. The raft afterwards is then taken apart again for the next workshop. We find that somehow unsatisfactory!
At COCOLAB. you can support us making the social enterprise Coconat workation retreat more beautiful in the long term. We look at what’s currently needed: Outdoor furniture, renovation work, restoration, garden action… Together we will develop a tailor-made project and provide you with the appropriate specialist staff and our fantastic open workshop.
A meaningful project strengthens cohesion, generates great memories and a positive team spirit.
Participants: min. 3 to max. 10 people
Duration: depending on the project
Language: German or English
