We’re beginning to bring together the ideas generated by our first three Context Setting Workshops, in order to lay the ground for future planning. This post is a first attempt at getting an overview of the three workshops, but we’re very aware that this is only one perspective on the workshops. This is a discussion document, so please treat it as such and comment, question or make suggestions…
The first three context-setting workshops have been held. The Creative Industries Workshop was held on 29th May, the Transport Workshop was held on June, and the Health Industries Workshop on 4th July, 2008.
The three workshops were well-attended: the Creative Industries Workshop had 40 participants, the Transport Workshop 40, and the Health Industries Workshop 30. The participants were drawn from universities, industry, public institutions and policy.
The aim of the context-setting workshops was to identify challenges, barriers and possibilities for innovative media in each of the three areas. The workshops used a variety of approaches for organising the discussions. They each started with brief talks presenting specific projects, cases, or activities in the relevant area, and the rest of each day was spent in brainstorming activities.
