Social Innovation Camp brings together social entrepreneurs, web developers, designers and other specialists to develop new ideas using social technology.
Over a single weekend, participants take initial ideas to tackle particular social needs and develop them into prototype solutions, using cutting-edge Web 2.0 tools.
The weekend finishes with a competition to decide on a winning project, which receives further start-up support.
