About Social Innovation Camp CEE
How does it work?
For a detailed overview of what a Social Innovation Camp is, you can refer to this post.
Organizers
The Social Innovation Camp Central and Eastern Europe (SICCEE) brings together talented software developers/designers and social innovators from the non-profit, commercial and public sector. Over the course of 48 hours, teams will build effective web-based solutions to real social problems.
Based on the successful model pioneered in the United Kingdom, Social Innovation Camp CEE aims to jumpstart a “digital activist” movement across the Central European region, committed to using the Internet for social change.
The project is organized by Transitions (TOL), a non-profit media development organization based in Prague, with support from the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE Trust). The event, which is being held in Bratislava, 16-18 September 2009, coincides with the CEE Trust's Civil Society Forum, which will reflect on 20 years of civil society in Central and Eastern Europe.
