Join Social Innovation Camp and Fleet Collective in Dundee for an evening of thinking about how we can use technology to tackle social problems.

 

You don't need to know anything about technology to take part; just an interest in making your world a better place.

 

It's a chance to find out a bit more about how you can get involved in our forcoming Social Innovation Camp in Edinburgh, June 2011.

A bit about Social Innovation Camp www.sicamp.org

Over one weekend from 17th-19th June 2011, we’re bringing together some of the best of the UK’s software developers and designers with those at the sharp end of social problems at the Informatics Ventures Forum in Edinburgh.Their mission will be to turn six back-of-the-envelope ideas that could change the world into social start-ups in under 48 hours – complete with working software. Founded in early 2008, Social Innovation Camp Ltd is a launchpad and accelerator for technology-based social ventures.

Fleet Collective a socially driven project based in Dundee that aims to build and house a collective of mixed creative disciplines that are committed to innovation in their field, we work across a variety of projects with clients both large and small. We believe that bringing together a mix of talent under one roof creates the strongest possible base to grow the creative individuals involved and the collective.

 

The founding ethos is to foster collaborative working practices and build a community that collaborates and supports each other; to foster partnerships and alliances that reap the rewards of cross collaboration and resource pooling, creating a force of many that can compete at a higher level.
