Vancouver ChangeCamp is a participatory web-enabled face-to-face event that brings together citizens, technologists, designers, academics, social entrepreneurs, policy wonks, political players, change-makers, essay writers, term paper writers, web designers and government employees to answer these questions:

  • How can we help government become more open and responsive?
  • How do we as citizens organize to get better outcomes ourselves?

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.

Take a look at sessions, who will be participating, and check out the June 10th screening of documentary UsNow.

ChangeCampTO - Saturday, January 24, 2009 - MaRS Centre, Toronto

See the video by Mark McKay, immediately below (YouTube) or on Vimeo.

This is the inaugural ChangeCamp Canada event - a participatory and web-enabled face-to-face event that brings together citizens, policy-makers, technologists, design-thinkers, change agents and media creators to answer one question: “How do we re-imagine government and governance in the age of participation?”

A ChangeCamp 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.

This event is intended to ignite a national, distributed and self-organizing movement. The results of this first event will be measured in awareness raised, connections made, ideas generated, projects initiated or built-upon and the establishment of stable structures to support ongoing work and propagation.

This wiki has the following key pages about the event:

When people say "web enabled face to face", it should be accessible through webcam at the same time
