Le marché des idées

Le concept du Marché des idées est en quelque sorte un babillard interactif, en format papier.

Vendredi soir, les participants ont eu la chance de partager sur une feuille de papier les projets qu'ils veulent réaliser et les ressources dont ils ont besoin pour les accomplir.

Cela veut dire qu'il y a environ 200 différents projets et idées que les participants peuvent lire et remuer leurs méninges. Imaginez les possibilités! De cette façon, les gens peuvent faire la lecture des projets et s'ils se sentent interpelés ou capables de donner un coup de main, les coordonnées sont indiquées.

Partagez vos projets, et les ressources dont vous avez besoin pour les réaliser dans les commentaires.

Power to the People

Do we have a different kind of power when we exist in a network? Mark Kuznicki, founder of ChangeCamp posed this question in the Kick-Off Event of the 2010 Ideas Festival, and taking a look around the room, I'd say yes. Yes, because there is power in the in the diversity of individuals gathered here - a power of resilience. The festival has brought together people who have been making change for decades and those who have been making change for days; people who have founded numerous initiatives and people who are preparing to launch their first; people who have realized many ideas and people whose ideas are beginning to emerge in different sectors across Canada. They are all gathered here together. They are learning, mentoring, questioning, and acting. They are changing the future of this country, but more importantly, this country today. And the resilience inherent in this group means that these ideas are here to stay.

Bring on Day 2!
