The second edition of the Idea Camp follows our highly successful Idea Camp that was held in Marseille in 2014 on the theme of ‘Public Space’. It has been co-developed by ECF and the six hubs in our Connected Action for the Commons programme. This year, the Idea Camp will be hosted by Subtopia in Botkyrka, near Stockholm in Sweden.
The Idea Makers (Idea Camp 2015)
The theme of the Idea Camp 2015 is ‘Build the City’. Gathering together 50 inspirational Idea Makers from all across Europe, the Idea Camp is a collaborative working platform – a safe and open space for sharing and co-creation that addresses some of the most urgent challenges facing our continent today. The Idea Makers will be joined by some of Europe’s key thinkers, community hubs, some of the most engaged foundations, city developers and policy-makers – forming a wider community of practice with a shared commitment to strengthening the commons.
This year, our Idea Makers were selected from 400 applications and they come from 23 different countries from across Europe as well as neighbouring regions. They represent a range of sectors and their ideas offer a myriad of topics and methodologies. ECF seeks to support these exciting ideas at an early stage in their development in order to catalyse new approaches and new solutions. There are ideas focused on climate change, sustainable urban planning and design, reclaiming public space, management of shared resources and open source design. There are also ideas for welcoming migrants and supporting inhabitants of the ‘invisible’ city, ideas for community healing and social cohesion in cities that have experienced divisive conflicts.
You can read more about the Idea Makers and their ideas in our Ideas Booklet.
