How to make the most out of \#futurespotters before, during and after workshop?
Like everything Edgeryders gets involved in, the futurespotters is a strictly #nospectators initiative. The outcomes of the process depend on you. The more active you are before, during and after the event….the more generative it is.
If you want to be well-prepared, eligible for conference & fully involved:
- Assume no one else is coming: We bring our skills, time and determination to help one another to \#futurespotters. The physical workshop is where we co-design shared solutions that can be built by the participants requiring only the resources accessible in the room. The online platform is where we coordinate what happens after the event.
- Connect with others online: Get to know your fellow \#futurespotters and feel free to ask them questions online before we meet in person. Writing in Arabic is fine too: http://goo.gl/0cA8L2
- Swarm the challenges: We identify shared obstacles and engage the rest of the Edgeryders community in sharing ideas or experiences of how to address them. Good documentation from the workshops is crucial: http://goo.gl/p7Gs4T
And let’s keep working
