I run an event in Kitchener-Waterloo called CultureCamp. It’s part of a group of projects focused on our community and something that MFX has begun to support with two Social Design Interns. The larger project related to CultureCamp is the social network supporting the events during the in-between time. So far we’ve done three (3) CultureCamps and the reviews have been very positive.

So what’s CultureCamp?

CultureCamp is a user-generated “unconference”—an open, creative, participatory workshop-event, whose content is provided by participants related to an emerging understanding of culture.

CultureCamp will invite participants from the community to come share their ideas about our city.

Anyone can present a session or host a discussion around a topic of interest. Session order is decided at the event and generated by participants.

So what happened at the event? Well, this for one—a crowd-sourced zine made by participants at the day.
