Social Innovation Camp comes to Scotland
March 18th, 2009Welcome to our brand new Social Innovation Camp Scotland site!
This is the place to find out everything about the next Social Innovation Camp running from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2009 at the Saltire Centre in Glasgow.
From a Friday evening to a Sunday afternoon, we’ll be bringing together some of the best of the UK’s software developers and designers, together with those at the sharp end of social change. They’ll have just 48 hours to build some web-based solutions to a set of social problems - from back-of-the-envelope idea to working prototype, complete with software.
But first off, we’re starting with a call for ideas: we want to find the most exciting ideas for how the web could change stuff that really matters. You can enter your idea when our call opens on the 30th March.
And you can read all about how the Social Innovation Camp works over here.
But if you can’t wait till then, you can always get in touch if you’d like to find out more. Or you can join our mailing list, follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
This the third Social Innovation Camp of its kind - but it’s the first time we’re taking the idea out of London and north of the border. If you’d like to find out more about who we are and what we get up to, all the details are here.
More information about how to get involved and what our plans are for the next few months will be up on this site very soon - watch this space!
In the meantime, we’d like to thank our sponsors for making Social Innovation Camp Scotland possible:

[…] The Social Innovation Camp takes a set of ideas for web-based tools that will create social change and develops them over one weekend. Working with a diverse range of people, participants organise themselves into teams and help make a back-of-the-envelop idea into a working prototype - complete with working software - in just two days.
