No man is an island*, nothing more true then if you are a Creator.
You learn mainly with peers; the peers, previous and present, inluence your work and, a lot of times, your project depends on the job of other Creators.
You evolve by collaborating and competing with peers, you evolve because you are a Community Being.
By inducing the emergence of Collaborative/Competitive Communities, the Werkbund helps to create a digital layer over the Territories, not just for intra-intereraction but also to build bridges to others Werkbund's Innovative Territories.
Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls*...
*John Donne's poem "For whom the bell tolls"
