Social Innovation Camp is an experiment in creating social innovations for the digital age.

The team think the web and related technologies hold huge potential to change some pretty fundamental stuff: how people hold those in positions of power accountable; who they rely on to provide the services they need to live healthy, happy lives; or how they make a difference to something that affects them.

But for any of this to happen, they believe we have to work out what people really need and start building the technology that can help – which is what Social Innovation Camp is all about.

Through unusual, creative events the SICamp team bring together talented software developers and designers with social innovators to build effective web-based solutions to real social problems.

I am in the Social Innovation Camp pool of mentors and have supported projects like MyPolice (http://www.mypolice.org/) .

I also work with the team on external projects at a strategic level helping to create design-lead innovation methods for them to work with
