Only two weeks left to sign up for Social Innovation Camp Scotland

June 8th, 2009

It’s been three months in the making, but finally our third Social Innovation Camp is just two weeks away.

From our eight-week call for ideas, we’ve chosen six back-of-the-envelope projects we’re going to be helping to make a reality in just one weekend from 6.30pm, Friday 19th June to 4pm, Sunday 21st June at the Saltire Centre, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow.

So now we’re looking for people who want to sign up, get involved and help build some web-based tools that can change something that matters.

Are you a great software developer or designer? Or perhaps you have business, fund raising, legal or other expertise that could be needed to get an idea off the ground? Or maybe you have experience of one of the social problems we’re trying to solve?

Want to come and help build one of these ideas?

We’re looking for all sorts of talented people to get involved and come for the Social Innovation Camp weekend: right through from people who can hack together some software to those who can work out how to sustain an idea in the long-run.

You don’t have to be based in Scotland - or even in the UK - to take part, as long as you can get yourself to the Saltire Centre, Glasgow from the weekend 19th-21st June 2009. You can come along for all or part of the weekend and you can get involved in one particular idea or help out several different projects - just let us know when you’d like to come and how you can help by signing up here.

Places are filling up: we’ve not got a huge amount of space and we need a balance of skills and expertise to make this work, so please don’t be disappointed if we can’t fit you in this time around.

You can read about how the Social Innovation Camp works here, find out more about the weekend here or check out what will be happening when here. And you can watch previous Social Innovation Campers talk about why they came and what it was like here.

So if you fancy a weekend of good company, interesting ideas and making exciting things, sign up to get involved!
