UNconferences and edcamps are composed of anyone who shares a vested interest in learning about learning and growing professionally. Unlike other conferences, an UNconference does not include a keynote speaker, the day is planned by the attendees, and the cost of attending is free. If you want to share your ideas, sign up to speak. You want to hear the ideas of others being shared, sign up to attend a session.<\/p>\n
Basic Rules of an UNconference – To give you a better idea of how an UNconference works, we want to share the basic rules that guide the day. \u00a0UNconferences are based on the BarCamp model, and the BarCamp model is based on what is referred to as \u201cOpen Space Technology Workshops\u201d where the participants design and drive the day.<\/p>\n
The Rule of Two Feet –\u00a0If people find themselves in situations where they are neither learning nor contributing, they are responsible for moving to another place — using their two feet to find a place where their participation is more meaningful.<\/p>\n
Whoever comes are the right people. \u00a0This reinforces the wisdom to achieve solutions is present in the room.<\/p>\n
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have\u00a0– This keeps the attention on the best possible effort in the present, instead of wondering endlessly about what should or could have been done.<\/p>\n
Whenever it starts is the right time\u00a0– This reminds people that creativity cannot be controlled.<\/p>\n
When it is over, it is over\u00a0– This encourages people to continue their discussion so long as there is energy for it. This may result in a short session not filling the entire time allotted, or it may result in a session longer than the time allotted.<\/p>\n
