Cambridge Social Innovation Presentation social innovation meetup [autosaved]Jeanette Sjoberg
+Acumen is the largest social sector online learning platform in the world. The Cambridge Social Innovation Hub was founded to create space for social entrepreneurs to learn skills that help serve themselves and people better. This presentation was given to another meetup group in Cambridge, CamCreatives, to showcase the last course we ran - "Human Centred Design for Social Innovation" - a creative and collaborative problem solving technique that promotes divergent and convergent thinking, contribution from interdisciplinary skilled people (complete strangers) and a chosen design challenge where a product or service is always developed on the back of the course. It's all about mindsets and moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, empowering people. Anyone can be a change maker and anyone can be a social entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone that creates opportunities from resources that are already available. A social entrepreneur is one that additionally aims and delivers social impact.
With 2017 coming to an end, our overarching theme heading into 2018 is lasting Innovation + IMPACT. How do libraries, archives and museums expand services and spaces to encompass innovation and build long-lasting IMPACT? Join Brian Pichman of the Evolve Project as he shares how you can be part of changing the way people see libraries by doing a few cost effective innovative things for lasting impact. Reimagine your space with collaborative space, emerging technologies, a fostering learning environment and transform it in 2018.
When CAPE was founded, CAPE stood for Collective, Adventure, Practice and Experience, which means CAPE encourages young people to share their adventures, practices and experiences to help each other to grow. By collective sharing, we gain more and grow more.
However, after more than one year’s self-evolution and “soul searching”, CAPE’s meaning was changed to Community, Accelerator, Progressive and Entrepreneurship. We hope CAPE can be a community of changemakers with progressive ideas and entrepreneurship, providing more services to facilitate communication, social connections as well as more meaningful actions among capers.
CREATIVE PLACEMAKING: Thinking Beyond Projects
In the words of a recent National Endowment for the Arts report, Creative Placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.
Arts and culture have been a part of community revitalization and economic development strategies for years. Creative Placemaking is more than a new term for this effort -- at its highest levels, it involves a new way of thinking about the role of creativity in making society more sustainable. It is not just about doing projects -- it is also about the thinking behind the projects and about making stronger connections between creative, community and economic development.
Learn from experts and practitioners who have been at the heart of efforts to use creativity to grow communities and get a sneak peek at Creative Placemaking in action. Our three panelists will provide some helpful examples of what they have done in their communities:
Steve Dalhberg, is director of the Connecticut-based International Centre for Creativity and Imagination, vice president of innovation for Future Workplace, and faculty of "Creativity + Social Change" at the University of Connecticut.
Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP is the Director of Arts Build Communities at Rutgers University. He will discuss Rutgers¹ community coaching program and ABC¹s new Master Practitioner Certificate Program in creative placemaking.
The Wormfarm Institute in Sauk County, Wisconsin, is rural creative placemaking at its best. It's a 40-acre organic vegetable farm and creative hub, begun 15 years ago by artists Jay Salinas and Donna Neuwirth. Wormfarm aims to recreate the link that once existed between culture and agriculture with innovative and intuitive efforts that center around a sense of the land and the community.
Open Your Mind, Open Your Library (Handout): Texas Library Association 2016M.J. D'Elia
As libraries face new technologies, shifting priorities, and ever-increasing competition for resources, they must learn to respond creatively to problems. You'll leave this active, hands-on session with activities and strategies you can take back to your library to make it a more creative organization (see slide deck too)
ART DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS:
Creativity is no longer a luxury. It is a critical survival skill that we need to adapt to rapid changes, solve complex problems, imagine new possibilities, and navigate uncharted waters ahead of us. In this lecture, we learn and practice creativity through a workshop titled "Improvised Lives".
Improvised lives are lives defined by a sense of adventure, curiosity, exploration, and spontaneity. Improvised living requires a playful mode of continuous learning, intense curiosity, embracing chaos and uncertainty, thinking and problem solving beyond borders, experimenting and making mistakes, and acting as an entrepreneur. In this workshop, you have opportunities to experiment with automated writing, doodling, drawing, ideating, imagining, and creating techniques.
In addition, we have about 20 mini-puzzles to solve. We cover a wide range of topics ranging from Oscars to celebrities, from vulnerability to humor, and from wellness to fashion. Finally, we have a mini-workshop on future generations (Alpha generation in particular), explore the biggest challenge facing them (climate emergency), and discuss the number one mental problem plaguing youth of today (climate anxiety). After we give a nod to Greta Thunberg, we turn to another futurist and visionary who has set one of the most challenging and ambitious goals for himself: Elon Musk aspires to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050. We finish the lecture with a mini-workshop on "Life and Employability on Mars", where we learn surprising facts about this red planet, including the fact that creativity indeed will be a surviving skill on this planet.
Weehawken/Union City Social Innovation Meetup KickoffSandy Sanchez
At the Meetup kickoff event, we introduced the concepts of social innovation and design thinking. The participants were taken through a fun and interactive exercise that served as an icebreaker as well as an introduction to some of the concepts in design thinking, empathy, active listening, and prototyping. We discussed how design thinking can be used in our community, referencing examples from other communities in the US as well as abroad. We also discussed the different types of events, how to participate, and volunteer opportunities.
Libraries are continually developing new programs and services to meet the needs of their community. But designing for the future can be challenging. How do you identify where to make changes? How do you make changes without taking on too much risk? How do you measure and evaluate the success of new library programs and services?
This workshop is an interactive experience, guiding teams through a process to find solutions for real library challenges and problems. Participants work in teams and be guided through activities to identify innovative solutions, set goals, and manage risk. Activities will help participants develop design thinking skills and a growth mindset.
Participants walk away with basic principles of innovative design processes. Participants gain confidence and feel empowered to think about innovation and innovative ideas in their libraries. As a result, they will become better risk takers and be able to develop better solutions.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
