The organizers of Vancouver Change Camp did an amazing job with the day’s events and facilitating such great discussions! I am still digesting the June 20th event and am inspired and motivated to make the changes I am passionate about.
The event revolved around two questions, but discussions were not limited to these topics:
*How can we help government become more open and responsive?
*How do we as citizens organize to get better outcomes ourselves?
Briefly, some of the topics included:
*net neutrality *how to engage citizens in social change *what social media tools can we use to self-organize and collaborate on social change movements *what can the BC government do to engage citizens? *open source and transparency
More thoughts to come…
