What is the relationship between technology and community buil

What is the relationship between technology and community building? A one-day mini-workshop in London, 5 March. NearLab presents a stimulating event that offers you an opportunity to sample ideas and views, try out a selection of hands-on design thinking tools, and participate in a mini-workshop on the opportunities and challenges faced by professionals in the fields of participation, engagement and community building, with technology, narrative and design. Speakers include Charlie Tims (Demos), Heather Ring (Urban Orchard), Steve McAdam (Fluid, Soundings) and Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino (RIG, Tinker.it!) who work in a variety of creative fields and who are all passionate about people, technology and good ideas. Participant prices start at £45. What people have been saying about us... "I honestly think that the ideas we can up with could not have been produced by a conventional method. I think that the process led to some real originality - reaching bits of the mind that other methods cannot reach. Fascinating stuff as I suspected - but having experienced it I am now sold!"
