City Hack – Making Berlin more livable in a day

Social innovation ideas are great – but they won´t have an impact if they are not tested, measured, re-developed, tested again, further refined and then finally implemented.Together with HacKIDemia we would therefore like to invite our Peace Innovation Lab Community and Berliners alike to come along, share, develop and build their ideas, which can make Berlin a better place to call home!We will start the morning by hearing inspiring stories from experienced social innovators before we start forming working groups to build new concepts.Please bring laptops and any other material you may need during the day. Wifi is available
* Participation is free, but please bring money for drinks and lunch.

** Please bring weather appropriate clothes, as we will be spending most of the day outside or in the Maker Lab.Agenda:09.00 Arrival and morning coffee09.30 Welcome, agenda and expectation setting09.45  4*15 min inspirational talks by our community- 3 lessons learned … fighting ebola with technology (eHealth Systems Africa)-  3 lessons learned ... while building a makerspace in a container - Stefania Druga, HacKIDemia- 3 lessons learned ...

Learning by doing and by playing comes natural to children as they have an innate curiosity. Hackidemia´s hands-on workshops encourage and develop that curiosity and give kids the tools to transform their dreams into reality.
