Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the emergence of coworking spaces in Slovenia in the 2010s as a response to economic pressures and youth culture fads and explores the distinction between self-generated and top-down developed coworking spaces. While the former were created by young activists, whose endeavours were rooted in identifying with particular modes of sociality, work,and local belonging, the latter point to a new systemic interest in youth. This interest – alongside other shifts in spatialization by young people and of them– indicates a historical change in social value ascribed to the youth. This value is founded on an ascribed entrepreneurial ability.
