What about adapting this to suit your own content creation needs? - could link with socialmedia workshop

"Human Centered Design Toolkit Close For years, companies and other organizations have used Human-Centered Design to arrive at innovative business solutions. Funded by IDE as part of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and in collaboration with non-profit groups ICRW and Heifer International, IDEO relied on this approach to improve the lives of communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The resulting HCD Toolkit helps NGO staff and volunteers understand people's needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet these needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind. The free kit is divided into four sections that bolster listening skills, running workshops, and implementing ideas. The HCD Toolkit contains the elements to Human-Centered Design, a process used for decades to create new solutions for multi-national corporations. This process has created ideas such as the HeartStart defibrillator, Cleanwell natural antibacterial products, and the Blood Donor System for the Red Cross--innovations that have enhanced the lives of millions of people. This process has been specially-adapted for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and compiled into a Toolkit available for download here or for order at cost at www.blurb.com."

This is an example of an organization that has leveraged its knowledge gained from its practice

from min. 5.50 in the video it talks about the arts having the capacity to enage us and keep is enthralled ;-) prior to that how Ed is sooo boring and kids swithcing off because it can't keep up with Xbox and other fab ways of engaging !!! - Ed is still in the dark ages... Unless you've been to CLP's courses or done Bunny's video& puppet workshops ;-)

This is a partnership Charity Volunteer group with the Klevis Kola Foundation which has been set up a group of Medical students from St Georges Hospital in Tooting London SW17 (which was STAR (Student Action for Refugees & Asylum Seekers) - STAR has been going for over 7 yrs - and Body action Campaign (our Charity) has been working alongside them for the past 6 years providing film, animation, editing, & puppetry workshops - Chris Hands (Chair of the board of Trustees for Klevis Kola - told me about tonight (25th Feb 09) - If any gap year students - or passionate volunteers-want to take part in - by working with the children in Morocco - get in touch (Speaking French or Arabic is really helpful) - you can sign up on the site & talk to other volunteers who have been working there and get the low down!

Exploring how users/customers make meaning of their world and how they attempt to create meaning and identity through artifacts (and their itneraction with these) can deliver much insight - if tapped. Ethnographic studies do this. CLP is instinctively scratching the surface with this. This link takes you to a primer.

CLP & Angels have proved an instance where right hand side diagram does not work !!! - hurrah ;-)

check out this visualization

This is really fab. It shows in practice how "trust is an earned currency" ...if you think about it. And CLP has managed to create greater impact over the years through earned trust. Workshop Rach?

This fund might be worth exploring for our joint project......if successful, it would give us funding to explore everything we discussed in detail......before actually delivering workshops. What do you think?

Hi Eliz, I've moved it to the joint Collab Group between CLP & CfL - where we can hold discussion separately. Thanks for the fab find ;-)

money stress and impact on relationship. I've annotated page to include BBC Raw

Hiya Eliz - this page is a google HTML version of a newsletter to the event. I want it as link for the blogpost. Plase save to your library, then view the page, then in toolbar - select: send (triangle) -> get annotated link. Please send this link so I can bil.ly it as cli.gs is playing up since last night!

The make lounge is a concept that can be copied for the skills you impart. You could create collectives that creates stuff - then learns to teach stuff (to the community for small fee) - collaboratively make it, and then sell it either as part of a charity auction or as part of your "portable charity shop" ;-) For Bunny Ideas: >Develop a puppet kit... all the bits they need, instructions, ideas on paper element and an invitation to: >> send you their puppet creation photos (to go into a book!!!) >>send you their puppet movie to be put on your youtube channel (most viewed would be put onto DVD and sold - Vanity factor!!! >>donate their first puppet to go into a puppet catwalk or puppet "celebrity" - voted by people (in a celebration event?) >Develop animation kit... perhaps animation kit that learners can use on the day then buy to take home and practice. They then could be invited to: >>Share/send their story for the corresponding book >>Share/send their animatin for inclusion in the youtube channel For Xtine & ELiz, what could you think about for your activities? >Story sack kit & instructions? >character cakes? (dalek, etc.?) >what else?

This article shows the evidence on a large corporate scale - What CLP naturally discovered with virtual spaces - go where the learners hang out. Coca-cola wasted a lot of money trying to get people to go to other virtual spaces.

Shame we didn't have all of that money to burn!! We'd have used it a lot more wisely......

fab blos realting to social influence on the web and socialmedia ;-)
