Collective Intelligence/Participatory Culture Day

Mindy’s Presentation: 10:00-11:00

What is Collective Intelligence
“Like-minded individuals gather online to embrace common enterprises, which often involve access and processing information. In such a world… everyone knows something, nobody knows everything, and what any one person knows can be tapped by the group as a whole.”
Henry Jenkins, MIT

What is Participatory Culture?
Participatory media include (but aren’t limited to) blogs, wikis, RSS, maps, tagging and social bookmarking, music-photo-video sharing, mashups, podcasts, and videoblogs.

YouthLAB
Collective intelligence and Participatory Media is a large part of what we are doing in YouthLAB. When we divvy up the work and when we become peer-to-peer sharers of knowledge and media, we are becoming a more democratic and participatory global community.

YouthLAB Member Presentations
A fun day where we spin our knowledge, activism strategies and/or skills and become peer-to-peer trainers. What do you know, what do you care about, what are your skills and what have you made? What you present will help us make decisions about how to divvy up work in the last three workshop days.

2:00-3:00 Discussion - How Can You Use Participatory Culture for Social Benefit and Action?
