Fulfil This!

Saturday, the 14th of August, 2010  was the inaugural BarCamp discussing Social Innovation. An interesting and diverse range of people participated in conversation and activity throughout the day.

“the vision for running the Social Innovation BarCamp is to provide a place for people to engage. There are many intelligent and effective people, from various fields, across the private and public sector. If we can connect those in an open and collaborative environment, we can empower us all in becoming effective change makers”.

We started with Bob Carr, giving him a proviso to discuss what he was passionate about. Although he is not connected to our Social Innovation segment it was interesting, as was repeatedly mentioned after his session, to hear him talk of his experience of making change from the highest levels of government down.

From this us participants connected on various topics, including slow projects, myths of social innovation, impact of social innovation in the public sector, and using your voice to increase engagement and influence.

We’ve compiled a list of who did what sessions throughout the day.

Thanks again to  Cisco for sponsoring to provide participants  a lovely eco-friendly lunch. Thanks to  AskHer who sponsored our coffees and thanks to The Commons who provided the lunch and coffee.

The event also managed to get a mention in the press, although they did not really focus on the theme of the day: Pharma tactic phoney

As you can imagine, I was busy coordinating the event and did not spend enough time soaking up the sessions. All feedback and comments are appreciated

Stay tuned for more details on the next camp and the continued conversation, with all the links above right.
