◆◇◆ 好伴是...？ ◆◇◆

「做自己喜歡的工作，讓工作友善社會」
好伴創立於2013年11月，落腳臺中舊市區，以社會創新的行動方式，致力於青年實踐與舊城再生。提供共享的共同工作空間，成為社會議題的資訊平台，與支持青年行動家的實作基地；同時串連社區在地團體，推動舊城再生，讓各種好的改變在這裡發生。

「共同工作空間」
Coworking Space是一種新興的空間型態，工作者們共享空間、辦公設備，以日租、月租的方式租借桌位。主要提供給獨立工作者、新創事業在工作之餘，可以與不同背景的人們激盪想法。

「中部議題資訊平台」
好伴集結各類社會議題與藝文資訊：「哲學星期五」公民論壇、獨立影展與小農料理工作坊。並透過「午餐共食」互相分享交流，拉近人與人的距離。

「舊城再生：旅行、市集與生活策展」
藉由舉辦「舊城小旅行」、「綠川市集」與「舊城生活策展」作為一座橋樑，連結起舊城的職人老店、青年創業家、議題團隊，以及遺忘舊城的人們，重拾這座城市的歷史文化記憶。

「社會創新實作基地：從在地出發的社會夢想家搖籃」
從「老問題，新方法」講座、「社會創新工作坊」到社會創新培力的「座伴計畫」，好伴循序漸進提供社會創新的知識、典範案例、實踐行動的軟硬體資源以及諮詢陪伴，讓點子轉化為改變社會真正的行動。持續經營「實習店長培力計畫」，讓年輕人透過第一手的實作學習，培養社會行動家的技能與視野。接下來，即將啟動的「青創世代」平台育成計畫，讓青年創業在舊城發生。
