Communicopia is proud to be a sponsor of VanChangeCamp!
VANCHANGECAMP is a participatory, web-enabled event to imagine and build new ways to collaborate for social change in the digital age.
WHERE: BCIT Downtown Campus, Vancouver, BC
WHY: Change Camp is a collaborative, participatory and web-enabled event that is meant to explore the following questions:
- How can we help government become more open and responsive?
- How do we as citizens organize to get better outcomes ourselves?
VanChangeCamp addresses the demand for a renewed relationship among citizens and government. We seek to create connections, knowledge, tools and policies that drive transparency, civic engagement and democratic empowerment.
The event is a partly structured unconference. One track of the conference will introduce the kinds of projects that harness new ideas and tools for social change. Other tracks at the conference will be participant-driven, with the agenda created collaboratively at the start of the event, allowing participants to share their experiences and expertise.
WHO: Changemakers! Including but not limited to:
- People making change at the ground level – community workers, non-profits/foundations, activists, advocates
- Decision-makers and government leaders
- Experienced technologists
