Communiversity Online Conference

Introduction

Welcome to the Communiversity Online Conference, where we hope to build up examples of projects which illustrate how Communiversity can work. We welcome any papers, links, examples and comments which cover our aims. To understand what we are looking for, the starting point for this debate is The abstract of Communiversity:

• Unleash peoples`creativity by using public art as the catalyst.

• Use technology to take education and training out of its institutions to where people are and provide the opportunities to develop their potential.

• Create a learning exchange network which will make maximum use of existing capital and human resources inside and outside the community who can educate, train, fund, inform and empower people.

• Provide an innovative degree and post graduate course for academic study, job training and situational learning.

• Start with people who are at present involved in community work in its broadest sense.

• Be part of a long term holistic approach which includes health, environment and employment.
