The document discusses transmedia activism, which uses storytelling across multiple media platforms to create social impact and influence perceptions. It provides a framework for using transmedia to build community and raise awareness of issues and solutions. Examples are provided, including the Lakou Mizik project which uses Haitian music to shift narratives and engage audiences on social issues in Haiti. Risks discussed include intellectual property concerns, gaps between theory and practice, and ensuring intentionality and rigor in citizen-led storytelling for social change.
Transmedia activism is a framework that uses storytelling across multiple media platforms to raise awareness of social issues and influence perceptions. It allows for decentralized authors to share assets and create multiple entry points into issues and solutions. The goal is to move people from initial issue awareness, to engagement, and ultimately to taking action to create social change. By collectivizing ownership of narratives, transmedia breaks down divisions and instead brings people together to address challenges.

By collectivizing ownership of narrative, transmedia activism breaks down barriers and allows people to work together towards social challenges. Examples provided examine using local voice and arts to reconnect audiences with causes and motivate advocacy or action. Risks include intellectual property concerns, technology over substance, and ensuring narratives respect community perspectives.
- In 2006, the founder had the idea to create a "Craigslist of compassion" called Wishadoo to connect people who wanted to help and be helped through a wishlist. Over time Wishadoo expanded into a social networking platform and various community tools were added.
- In the late 2000s and early 2010s, Wishadoo and related projects like the Community Good Directory and Magazine grew but required funding to be sustained. The founder is now seeking funding partners to move the projects forward and realize the original vision of Wishadoo as a member-owned cooperative.
CIPD presentation – working beyond our hierarchical boundariesCasey Morrison
Volunteering is becoming less hierarchical and more collaborative. People are increasingly volunteering informally through online networks and sharing platforms. This has led to more distributed, leaderless organizations where people self-organize around shared values through online networks and cooperation without top-down coordination. Now the default way to get things done is through online networks rather than traditional organizations.
The document discusses how crowdsourcing and technology can help during emergencies. It provides examples of volunteer technical communities and crisis response organizations that collaborate using tools like Ushahidi, OpenStreetMap, and CrisisCommons to map reports and information. It also describes Random Hacks of Kindness events that bring volunteers together to develop apps and solutions to address challenges in disaster areas.
The document discusses strategies for reaching priority audiences and developing future support through volunteering, donations, advocacy, and social activism. It notes trends like "Goodsumption" and social transparency triumph, and suggests focusing outreach on groups like "Young, Free and Singles," "Family Citizens," and "Big Society Champions" using various platforms, devices, and roles. Key messages encourage innovative thinking about volunteer roles, social media strategy, and sharing ideas from other organizations.

This document summarizes a presentation on social innovation. It defines social entrepreneurship and social innovations as solutions that create social value rather than private value. Microfinance is used as a case study to illustrate the stages of innovation - defining problems, generating ideas, piloting solutions, and scaling impact. The presentation argues that social innovations require cross-sector collaboration between civil society, government, and business to succeed and provides examples of organizations employing different strategic approaches. It emphasizes that social change happens gradually along a continuum rather than overnight.

Grassroots grantmakers presentation for community matters in newport vermontCommunityMatters
Grassroots grantmaking focuses on empowering community groups and citizens to create positive change from the ground up. It provides small grants and other resources to help people turn their ideas into realities. This approach believes that engaged community members can better address local needs than outside agencies. Grassroots grantmakers include community foundations, giving circles, and other organizations that take a people-powered approach. Their goal is to support collaborative projects led by community members, such as neighborhood cleanups, youth programs, local celebrations, and more. Even small grants can spark new relationships and community initiatives that create lasting impact.
A new(ish) perspective on knowledge management in small organisations, with a little bit of Frank Zappa and Superman 3 thrown in. Originally delivered at the NCVO Information Management Conference, London, Nov 2008.
This document discusses moving away from focusing solely on content and towards building communities around content. It quotes Dean Shareski stating "I'm a giant derivative" to emphasize deriving value from sharing and building upon the work of others in a community. The document concludes by mentioning licenses, suggesting sharing content under open licenses to facilitate collaborative communities.
Dialogue and Deliberation for civic engagement in chicagoSudhir Noel
This document summarizes efforts to promote dialogue and deliberation for civic engagement in Chicago. It describes various methods that were used, including charrettes, restorative circles, and online forums. It discusses how these methods were implemented through qualitative research and a written report. Some key learnings included that dialogue helps people share perspectives, deliberation examines options, and these processes can lead to personal and collaborative action when used for civic issues. The document also outlines how dialogue and deliberation have been supported and integrated in areas like decision-making, conflict transformation, and skill building.
Community of Practice & Civic InfrastructureSudhir Noel
This document discusses building civic infrastructure to support dialogue and deliberation work. It highlights common elements like facilitation and creating safe spaces. It also notes challenges like being under-resourced and isolated. The document recommends pooling resources and knowledge through communities of practice. It outlines elements needed for strong civic infrastructure like safe physical spaces, facilitation training, and fact-based media. Universities and specialized communities of practice are presented as parts of this infrastructure. The document concludes by noting the challenges of coordinating such efforts and provides contact information for further discussion.
The document discusses the differences between digital immigrants and digital natives, and how the digital era requires new leadership skills and organizational structures. It notes that the world has become more horizontal, networked, collaborative and focused on crowdsourcing. Organizations need to shift from directing to mobilizing, imparting leadership through trust, and prioritizing collaboration and creating human-scaled communities over traditional growth and branding approaches. The digital era favors open, converged models that bring together commerce, community and charity.
The document discusses the concept of digital culture and its key components. It defines digital culture as consisting of remediation, participation, and bricolage. Examples are given of each, such as how Twitter allows for speedy individual contributions in a social environment (participation and remediation) and how The Huffington Post gathers information from various sources to build credibility (bricolage). The author concludes that digital culture coexists with other media cultures and will continue influencing how media is consumed.

SunSpace uses a federated architecture and calculates community equity to promote participation and build vibrant communities within an organization. It integrates with existing knowledge bases and uses a value system, methodology, and architecture focused on inclusion, relevance, and building trust and reputation. A successful implementation of SunSpace saw growth from 25,000 users in 400 communities to 10x growth in 6 months.
This document discusses the need for social change and activism, as well as challenges and capacities needed to enact change. It notes that we have always faced crises, and questions what stands in the way of change and what abilities we have or need to create change. The document emphasizes continually questioning beliefs and assumptions as activists working for change. It also stresses the importance of infrastructure like community spaces, resources, and processes to support information sharing, decision making, and building social connections to enable successful social change.

It outlines a new model called the 4C's of commerce, culture, community and connectivity. The presentation argues that companies must function as communities and media platforms to thrive in this non-linear world.
From Social Media To Human Media - critical reflection on social media & some...Niels Hendriks
This is a presentation by Liesbeth Huybrechts & Niels Hendriks given at the Glocal Conference in Macedonia in 2009. It makes a critical reflection on so-called social media and presents some design methods and projects dealing with social environments.
Introduction to some of the issues raised by the rhetorics of collaboration in the creative industries. This was prepared for the first session of a new module on collaborative practices for MA Creative Media Practice students at the University of the West of Scotland.
Social media refers to means of interaction between people online where they can create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Social media leverages technologies that allow for interactive and two-way communication between individuals, and brings people together into online communities focused on sharing content, information, and ideas.
This document discusses social innovation and co-creation. [1] It defines co-creation as the systematic process of creating new solutions with people, not for them, which involves a broader scope of people, new sources of knowledge, and design-driven processes. [2] The challenges of enhancing government's capacity for partnership with social innovators are also examined. [3] Questions are raised about which collaborative approaches to innovation work best under different circumstances and for different actors like government and social innovators.
My Creativity Final Presentation @ Winter Camp 09gueste213a45d
The document discusses debates around the concept of "creative industries" from 2009-2012. It questions whether identifying with this term plays into the hands of policymakers, and debates strategies for using entrepreneurial models while addressing precarity and other issues. Alternative economic structures and business models were explored through collaborations and a website providing guidelines for working contracts. Challenges included contradictory messages around creative industries and addressing cultural diversity.
This document outlines the mission and goals of the Center for Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI). CASCI's mission is to support research and education on realizing the potential of 21st century communities through technology and information. It aims to do this by creating a "CASCI stack" consisting of coordinated work groups, projects, resources, and events focused on conceptual foundations, research resources, impact domains, and data related to communities and information. The document provides examples of each level of the CASCI stack and how they are intended to build upon each other to advance understanding and have real world impact.
The document discusses trends in communication and connectivity. It explores how collaboration has shifted from individuals developing ideas independently to groups working together to develop ideas communally. It also examines how businesses and organizations are focusing more on social innovation and addressing societal needs rather than just profits. Additionally, it looks at how creativity is increasingly being viewed as something that can be taught and cultivated rather than just an innate skill.
SocialSync is a platform that aims to help the over 0.5 million NGOs in India establish an online presence and leverage new media tools to connect with wider audiences. It recognizes that while many NGOs are doing commendable work on the ground, they have an nearly nonexistent web presence. SocialSync provides tools to help NGOs create a distinctive web identity, showcase their work, and build social capital by involving online communities and collaborations through elements like social campaigning and idea sharing. The goal is to help channel user involvement towards social causes by connecting NGOs with their constituencies and opening channels for participation through established web identities.
