A conference tailor-made for its audience is coming to North Vancouver next month.
Community Edcamp is an event specially designed to discuss issues and ideas generated by and for its participants.
There are no keynote speakers, presenters or "experts," only people wanting to share ideas in a safe and welcoming environment, with an agenda that's created by participants at the start of the event.
Edcamp, held on April 12 at the Lynn Valley Main Library, encourages connected and participatory learning in the hopes of bringing people together to discuss their interests, passions and any questions they may have.
Participants can also choose to lead sessions with an expectation that other participants will work together by sharing their own knowledge and questions.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon and is open to people of all ages wishing to learn more about new and emerging technology and social media.
There will be discussions, demonstrations, including an onsite 3D printer, sharing of knowledge, ideas and learning.
Registration is free and once participants are registered, they can post a topic for discussion. Both registration and discussion posts are available online through the North Vancouver School District's website.
Community Edcamp is co-sponsored by the North Vancouver School District and the North Vancouver District Public Library.
