Welcome to Bridge 47's Global Virtual BarCamp 4.7. on November 24 at 14.30-19.30
(UTC+2/EET)
We'd love to see you at our completely interactive participant led virtual BarCamp!
It's a space for critical discussion on the many facets of transformative learning and
SDG 4.7 in these unprecedented times. Let's gather around virtual campfires together
for in-depth discussions about our ideas, experiences and stories as we network and expand
our own knowledge and ability for action.
In contrast to traditional conferences or congresses, the barcamp programme is not
pre-determined but is designed by the participants themselves at the beginning of the
event. Everyone is invited - come meet other educators, researchers, volunteers,
activists, policy makers etc.! Participation is free of charge!
What is the format of this event?
We will meet in different video conference rooms and the sessions will last 45 minutes. It
is possible to participate in the discussions as well as to create a session. It is our
goal that all participants can participate in the barcamp as equally as possible. A
barcamp is a kind of conference, similar to open space, but without fixed speakers and
workshops. In 2005, the first barcamp was held in San Francisco, and the concept has now
become an international tradition.
Barcamps were born out of the need for people to exchange and learn from each other in an
open environment. It is an intensive event with discussions, presentations and interaction
among the participants. Anyone who has something to contribute or wants to learn is
welcome and encouraged to participate. If you do participate, be prepared to exchange
ideas with other bar campers. When you leave, be prepared to share your experiences with
the rest of the world.
Session proposals
Independent of your registration, you can announce session proposals in advance via your
registration form. The deadline to register is November 22. The session proposals will
then officially be submitted again at the beginning of the event. The participants decide
at the beginning of the event whether the session takes place.

Barcamp Rules
1. Everyone talks about the Barcamp before and after
The Barcamp lives from communication. So everyone should share information about the event
in advance and report, blog and tweet about it afterwards.
2. No spectators, only participants
This isn't just a place to lean back and listen! It is all about discussion and
exchange. The sessions are as exciting as the participants make them. The format lives
from the activity and interest of the participants. All participants are therefore
expected to be actively involved and not passively consuming. You can get involved by
offering your own contribution. The minimum form of contribution is active
participation/co-discussion in the sessions offered or sharing one's own knowledge and
experience with other participants.
3. Planned unplanned
There is no fixed agenda (apart from the framework programme). The conference plan is only
created by the participants. The schedule for all sessions is drawn up on the day itself.
The participants determine the content by contributing content themselves, moderating
discussions or raising questions.
4. Equal opportunities
Session facilitators and participants meet on an equal footing. Everybody can contribute
to the topics and participate in the discussions. Everyone appears on an equal footing
with everyone else.
5. Flexibility
If you notice during a session that it isn't right for you, you can leave the room at
anytime and switch to another session. There are always several sessions running in
parallel. Nobody will be angry with you if you change the room.
6. Don't be shy!
Even "immature" ideas, concepts and food for thought can be worth a session. Use
the networking at the Barcamp and take advantage of the discussion rounds!
