Idea Camp 2015 – Open Call

50 people will be chosen to work on their ideas at the Idea Camp, co-hosted by our Networked Programme hub Subtopia from 22 to 25 September 2015 in Botkyrka, Sweden. The theme for this year’s edition of the Idea Camp is Build the City.

Build the City is about people creating sustainable cities through social cooperation and active participation with culture at its heart. It is about applying the principles and ethics of the commons to the transformation of the city, its communities and its economy.

More than urban environments, ‘The City’ can also refer to a neighbourhood or community where people are working together through cultural activities to shape their environments, improve their common life and develop new social and economic relationships.  To apply for the ECF Idea Camp 2015, visit our dedicated Lab. Please note ECF will only publish all related content of the Open Call and the Idea Camp in this Lab!

After the event, participants can submit proposals for the research and development of concrete projects (R&D Grants).

To find out more about last year’s Idea Camp and Idea Makers browse through the archive material in our Library, accessible from the Idea Camp 2014 page.

The deadline for applications is Monday, 13 April 2015.
