Creative Youth Development: What's In A Name? Webinar Lakita Edwards
A slideshare created from this link: http://nationalguild.org/Programs/Key-Initiatives/Creative-Youth-Development/What-s-in-a-Name-webinar-recording.aspx
Creative Youth Development (CYD) intentionally integrates learning in the arts, humanities, and sciences with youth development principles. In CYD programs, young people create work and apply their creative skills to solve problems, shape their lives and build the world in which they want to live. The 2014 National Summit for CYD generated new focus and energy in CYD, catalyzing collective action (e.g., CYD National Partnership, Alliance for Creative Youth Development). In this webinar, we explore what it means to create and sustain programs for youth through this framework through case study examples, discussion, and student work. Featuring youth and adult leaders from Creative Action and Say Sí. Moderated by Denise Montgomery, director of the National CYD Initiative.
The Startup City -- The Meaning of Place in Europe's Digital EconomyNatalie Novick
Some initial findings from a year in the field of some of Europe's startup cities. Digital entrepreneurship is an engagement with community-- thus it is important for communities to foster these spaces to ensure they can grow.
Technological change and the development of the digital economy have drastically reshaped our
connection to our work, our cities and to one another. As technology companies and startup firms
have begun to comprise a larger proportion of the global economy, entrepreneurs trading in products
and services that exist entirely online are less constrained by geography than ever before. While the
constraints to geography slip away for these entrepreneurs, locality takes upon a new meaning.
Increasingly, aspiring tech entrepreneurs are choosing startup cities-- transnational social
spaces existing on top of, and not entirely within the confines of the modern city. The Startup City exemplifies today's urban superdiversity (Vertovec 2007), new forms that are
uniquely comprised of
people, institutions, practices, and values, making them distinct from other types of transnational
communities grounded in shared ethnicity or religion (Faist 1998). Wholly engaged in
entrepreneurship and the technologies that have faci
take on a global dimension while inhabiting the modern geography of the city. Many times, these
spaces and the people that populate them exist outside the confines of local policy, utilizing privilege
and human capital to maneuver around bureaucracy and visa policy. As governments increasingly aim
to increase competitiveness by supporting the digital economy and the entrepreneurs that sustain
it, we investigate the spaces they inhabit. This piece introduces the features and development of
Startup Cities, and outlines the challenges and opportunities they present.

This document provides a legend for mapping out user journeys and touchpoints with a service. It outlines questions to consider at each stage including what the user wants and does, how they come into contact with the service, and how the service answers the user's needs. Users move through stages from an initial need, deciding to use and first using the service, further ongoing use, and potential help with problems or end of use. The document instructs to map each persona's journey through the service using color-coded lines to connect their relevant touchpoints.
This document maps out a customer's journey through a service in 3 phases - before, during, and after - and identifies 15 total steps. The phases are labeled as before, during, and after using the service, with numbered steps illustrated for each phase to show the user's interactions and progression through the service.
This document provides instructions for creating a user storyboard to map out the key interactions and touchpoints of a service from the perspective of the main user. Users are directed to draw frames from the point of view of the primary user, write a narrative to explain the drawings with the user as the protagonist, and identify the main need expressed at each frame before selecting or designing touchpoints that address the identified needs.
This document discusses the key components of a social business model canvas, including activities, resources, customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key partners, cost structure, and social impact. It prompts the user to consider questions around delivery, sales and marketing, finance, macroeconomic factors, competitors, and reinvestment to develop a comprehensive social business model.
Participants were asked to post potential solution ideas and vote on them using colored stickers to determine which ideas they wanted to further develop. The ideas were then sorted on a poster to collectively decide which were feasible, not yet feasible, or ordinary based on the voting in order to select the original ideas to focus on developing further.
This document discusses the Thinking Hats technique for structured group discussions. It describes how Thinking Hats allows a discussion to consider different viewpoints by assigning each participant a role or "hat" such as logical, factual, cautious, emotional, or out of the box. Participants discuss an issue from the perspective of their assigned hat. This structures the conversation and avoids open debates, instead creating a meaningful discussion that considers all angles of an issue. The document provides instructions for how to implement Thinking Hats in a group.
This document describes a problem definition tool to help clarify priorities and focus on critical issues. The tool involves working through a worksheet individually or in a team to examine a problem from multiple angles. It structures the analysis of a problem in a way that efficiently compares issues and looks at deeper underlying problems rather than surface symptoms. Using the tool with stakeholders can provide different perspectives and lead to reframing problems in a manner that offers clues for effective solutions.
The document provides prompts to help define a challenge or problem, understand the real needs, and imagine what the solution would look like with the problem solved. It asks the reader to describe an idea that addresses the defined challenge and explains how the idea would achieve its goals.
The document discusses different levels of cooperation in social innovation processes, from informal networking to long-term clusters. It presents a table that defines cooperation, collaboration, engagement, and clusters based on the intensity of ties, whether goals and benefits are mutual, what is shared like resources, and the duration of the link.

A field driven primarily by startups and new organizations, with established charities and social enterprises not adopting new technologies much. While new technologies show promise, more focus is needed on solving social challenges to effectively communicate benefits to broader audiences. The field sees a lot of new ideas but few have scaled significantly.
Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation aims to:
1) Harness ICT networks and collective intelligence to support new economic models beyond GDP and cooperation.
