Social Innovation Camp Central and Eastern Europe - overview

SICCEE

The Social Innovation Camp Central and Eastern Europe (SICCEE) drew together more than 60 participants from Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and the Caucasus, alongside the CEE Trust's Civic Society Forum in Bratislava, Slovakia. Over the course of 48 hours, participants formed 6 groups and developed web prototypes for social start-ups addressing real-life social issues. The winning groups' projects can be found here. The SICCEE was supported by the CEE Trust and scholarships were provided by the Open Society Institute's Information Program, National Endowment for Democracy, and PACT.

"I liked the idea that you really had to do it yourself. Michael was always there for feedback and for solutions, but the article had to come from yourself."
