Who: London citizens who want to build a more vibrant, engaged and prosperous community
What: ChangeCamp London; a citizen driven, open dialogue to create positive change in the
City of London
When: Saturday, June 19, 2010 930am-4pm
Where: Museum London
Organized by group of local citizens, ChangeCamp London will be an all day event held at Museum London on Saturday, June 19. This event will provide a space for any and all Londoners to come together and discuss issues and take action toward making our city a better place to live. Similar to AgendaCamp, which was hosted by TVO in London last January, participants will address and collaboratively problem solve real challenges our community faces. The intended outcomes of the event are feasible actions and steps that can be made now at a grass-roots level in order to change London for the better.
At this free community event, participants will propose the topics to be discussed and can choose to engage in discussions that are relevant to them. City staff and politicians are encouraged to participate in this open dialog to listen and collaborate with forward looking citizens who care about their city. Seats are limited. Please reserve your seat at changecamplondon.eventbrite.com.
Quotes from Shawn Adamsson, ChangeCamp Organizing Committee Member:
It offers an opportunity for Londoners of all backgrounds and abilities to come together and discuss what we, as citizens, can do to make our city a better place - build communities, eliminate apathy and make a better home.
In the afternoon of the 19th we'll be taking ideas from the morning sessions and moving those into actionable ideas and working groups. Beyond the 19th we hope to reconvene on a regular basis in ChangeCafes to discuss more targeted ideas and issues and again take those ideas into actionable projects in ChangeLab sessions where possible to spend a day and make something tangible of these ideas.
