Track information

Track 1: Upskilling for change

Skill and tool up for greater impact

The goal of this track is to equip each participant to roll out a project as visionary, compelling and concrete as the unMonastery by the end of 2014. Sessions that would fit well in here: using Egderyders LBG as a corporate infrastructure for your project; how to best collaborate with each other online; how to sell radical projects to corporate/government folks; how to share failure and take care of each other to preserve precious brainpower from burnout.

Alberto Contact @alberto cottica if you want to contribute to this track.

Track 2: Build the unMonastery

Help place the first building blocks

The goal of this track is to design an institution to last 200 years. Sessions that would fit well in here: designing the interiors of the unMonastery; designing the clothing for the unMonasterians; working out protocols of engagement with the local community in Matera and elsewhere.


Contact @ben vickers if you want to contribute to this track.

Track 3: The unconference on the edge

Discover new people, projects & ideas

The goal of this track is to catch up with the cutting edge stuff people within and outside the community are doing. If you want to share your work on a personal project and use the expertise onsite to ask for feedback or find collaborators, you belong here.

Noemi Contact @noemi Salantiu if you want to contribute to this track.
