Centre for Social Innovation

What is SI Camp?

SI Camp brings together people at the coalface of social issues together with people who understand how to use web technology to solve problems. Or, in other words, we bring together:

  • People with direct experience of health, education, environmental and community needs
  • Social entrepreneurs
  • Software developers and designers
  • Web entrepreneurs

We work together to understand social problems, come up with web-based solutions, create prototypes, and start thinking about the type of organisation required to sustain and grow the idea- whether it’s a social enterprise, a non-profit or a public sector-based project. When a social entrepreneur comes forward who wants to take a project on, we help to link them up to mentors, advisors, and potential seed funders.

We’re being helped enormously by SI Camp UK who is pioneering the SI Camp concept internationally. Check them out…
