Foreign Policy Camp
Canada’s World hosted the first-ever ForeignPolicyCamp, which was a highly interactive hybrid conference that enabled participants to co-create the agenda.
The goal of the ForeignPolicyCamp was to shine a spotlight on new thinkers and doers in Canadian foreign policy while creating a space to come together and share ideas as equals. Participants included: students, artists, techies, educators, social entrepreneurs, NGOs, military officers, and diplomats.
The ForeignPolicyCamp was held in Vancouver, BC on November 30, 2009 and featured:
- Regional case studies on Canadian foreign policy
- Open sessions on topics determined and led by participants
- A collaborative multimedia Mashboard, provided by Mergenta, which conglomerated various social media and interactive tools together on a dashboard-style page, including live feeds from note takers, Twitter discussions, live roaming cameras, word clouds, and live survey results
- A photo gallery
Satellite camps were also held in Montreal, Edmonton, and Toronto.
