Communicopia

During last year's sold out Social Tech Training (which was created by Communicopia, Web of Change, and the MaRS Social Innovation Group) TV Ontario was filming a number of our trainers. We finally see the fruits of their labours in their "Digital U" web series, published on the web and YouTube this week.

The last 3 months have been a whilrwind, helping the TckTckTck global climate campaign get ready for, and do some serious movement building, in Copenhagen. After working a lot of 20 hour days during December, I'm still finding my feet again and hope to do some writing about what we learned together in what is probably the most diverse movement the world has ever seen.

In the meantime, there were a few good articles published about the work we did in Copenhagen, that tell parts of the story better than I can.

It was a great honour to spend the weekend in New York with the amazing folks at 350.org, as they organized what has easily become the world's most widely distributed political action, and, for a time on Saturday, became the biggest media story in the world.

This, from one of the smallest NGO's on the planet, and probably one of the youngest - nearly everyone who works there is only a few years out of college! So how did they pull off something so massive with such a small team?
