Report on BarCamps and Thematic Charretes

A report about the projects thematic BarCamps and Charrettes Thematic BarCamps Each partner will organise at least one (1) BarCamp. Bar Camps are known as “unconferences” born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. They will be run as intense events with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn about the project will be welcome and invited to join. The thematic focuses of our project’s BarCamps will be circled around five key areas defined above. Thematic charrettes In addition to the BarCamps, we will organise at least 2 thematic charrettes. The structure of these charretes it will depend on the design problem and the individuals in the group. Charretes may take place in multiple sessions in which the group divides into sub-groups. Each sub-group then presents its work to the full group as material for further dialogue. These charrettes will serve as a way of quickly generating a design solution while integrating the aptitudes and interests of a diverse group of people. The aim of these events is to create a ‘consultation’ mechanism to promote and collect feedback (ideas, concerns, etc.) on public acceptance and increase public confidence. When possible, these events shall be organised within the context of international conferences and exhibitions.
