Possibly: using the web for Good Things (environmentalism / communities is what I'm interested in but it could be broader). Something active - participants to bring their own examples of what's good and maybe problems and how they might be addressed (spot the person who didn't get to go to Social Innovation Camp). But it might be a bit too much, esp on my own. Anyone interested in co-running / introducing a bit or realism, please email me. |
