Yes Harold; Co-working spaces can be great spaces for learning, especially when it includes people who have a learning focus like yourself. It would be even better if the space was also nested inside an even larger and more diversity learning space. Would it not be a possible direction for universities? I mean, thinking of your byline "work is learning & learning is the work" what if universities were centers for learning and centers for working. I don't think it is too far to conceive of a mentorship becoming a life-long collaboration.
