An opportunity to showcase your project, uncover points of pain and hack* it with a global community of peers..
*hacks = quick experiments, creative solutions, constrained resources
“Smart swarms” of citizens, loosely connected to each other with no command structure, are achieving incredible results around creating employment opportunities, social inclusion initiatives, and artefacts around raw data. In this webinar we learn how to think about these initiatives in terms of networks and connectivity.
Are you
- a lone-wolf citizen innovator pushing through to make [Country] better?
- looking to invest in people working on amazing initiatives?
- tired of running alone?
Want to
- meet other changemakers in your own [Country]?
- identify shareable resources for your project?
- get some fuel from young people in other parts of the world who have figured some stuff out?
Come find your pack!
Bring your own project: we will analyse it together. Is it driven by one or very few committed people? Is is widely participated by very many people? A little bit of both? Are participants structurally similar or are they very different socially and economically? All these different situation correspond to network configurations. We will try together to think about your project case as a network, and try to come up with ideas for how to move it forward. If you want your project to be featured, submit it as your online interview contribution to the Future Makers Challenge!
