You can introduce Dr. Nick in an email to me please, and I’ll set up the interview @jasen_lakic
Email template for the interview invite is here (second part of the post): Interview framework + Template for requesting an interview via email
So far the only expense for the Becej workshop is 50 euros for the venue. Let’s count in 50 more for drinks.
Yeah it makes sense to simply interview him and see how it develops. @inge I am still waiting to see his availability for November. If you want to interview him in general for next year anyways then I will propose that to him and introduce you guys.
One of the innovators from innova.rs confirmed his participation. Sending him to you for an interview as well.
It was my proposal since the feedback was overwhelmingly against Sunday 
On it.

How do we stop the brain drain from Serbia?
One of the solutions is creating a suitable environment for empowering youth. The most important resource, from any company or a country, are people. The investors put their money in people and ideas…in human potential, not in companies. Why? Because they know the company will never succeed without a great team. How can we expect to prosper as a country if we do not invest in the members of our society?
That is why we decided the theme of this workshop will be creativity and entrepreneurship. Our focus is on young people: how to we help them fulfill their potential? What kind of support do they really need from us? From parents, from the municipality, school or various organisations working with children, like for example the social care centers? Children with difficulties functioning within standard rules and education might need our help the most.
Our project was born out of that need to create an environment in which youth will flourish, in this case it will be the Becej Creative Hub, which we will present on this workshop.
Format
We are creating a partnership made of individuals and all organisations in Becej who want to contribute to empowering young people and through that improve the quality of life in their community. This workshop and the project we will present during it will be the result of a poll we conduct between teenagers of 3 high schools in Becej. It will be built through their participation as well.
Before workshop: We connected with all 3 schools and few organisations, with goal of creating the needed partnership to and conduct the needed poll within the younger population so we can adapt the project to their needs as much as possible.
Why document everything: The documentation from the discussions are redacted to ensure privacy of participants, then posted on the online discussion space for the festival. This enables us to do a number of things -
easily reconnect with people we met across shared/complimentary interests
build a high quality report summarising what knowledge has emerged from the discussions
keep everyone informed about new, relevant, opportunities for professional and personal development, follow up events etc

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an invitation/ticket to this workshop?
How is this event being organised?
This event, and the festival it is part of, is coordinated on the edgeryders platform (where you are now) and co-curated through a series of community video calls. We have allocated a collaboratively managed budget for the festival and operate on a solidarity basis. Participants who need some financial support to organise or be able to participate in the festival are eligible provided they contribute towards making it a meaningful and generative experience for all - in the run up to, during and/or after the event. If you would like to join us but are unsure as to how to contribute, don’t worry. Create an edgeryders account, then tell us a bit about yourself here and we will guide you along from there.
Here the text needs to be individualised for your event!!!
We @TamaraVuk @jasen_lakic and @noemi are coordinating this event, with Spomen kuća "Than" | Home page, in collaboration with innova.rs, and high schools (not confirmed yet) “Ekonomska Skola Becej”, “Gimnazija Becej”, “Tehnicka skola Becej”. Some people have been specially invited as guests because the work they are doing right now and their expertise will help ensure that the discussion is based on case studies, credible data and hands on experience.
How is this all financed?
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822682.

Does getting involved mean I endorse the funders views or actions?
No. What you are doing is contributing to an open consultation on the topic of how to build a next generation of internet infrastructure, technologies, business models etc that promotes the wellbeing of humans and the natural environment. The consultation methodology is designed in such a way as to allow for diversity of views, premises, disciplines, themes and contexts. We employ open notebook science principles and the results will be presented in the form of a research report accessible to everyone after the event. You can follow the process, review the methodology and open source tech we are using and engage directly with the research and coordination team here: https://edgeryders.eu/c/ioh/workspace
What is the code of conduct?
The Edgeryders online platform technology and activities are intended for people to cooperate within and across projects trying to build a better world. The word “better” has here a fairly broad range of meaning. These Community Guidelines are here to help you understand what it means to be a member of Edgeryders.

Here is the post, where should I put it up? A bit confused with the format of Festival Program Overview
I see that’s a summary of all but the original posts are elsewhere. What to do with the English one? Put it in the campfire part?
Set the post in Serbian and English both up as event posts in wellbeing. Than post the links here and I will take care of the tagging and linking them with each other so it gets pushed to the festival minisite
@noemi The form is up: Edgeryders Forms
For now the site links to the external form, but it can be embedded in the page if it’s a preference.
Let me know if there is anything that needs changing/updating.

As far as documentation is concerned, which methods should we use? In order to find a person who can do it I need a bit more info about the “job description”
Great! @noemi could you introduce the documentation method to @jasen_lakic or share a post that describes it?
There should be a section in the Engagement strategy Google folder. I can check and turn it into a post, sure.
