Description
The open leadership camp is a new type of executive (un)education developed by the MIT Media Lab and Mozilla. It will help senior leaders in the public sector and civil society bring open strategies and technologies into their organizations. We are planning a first face-to-face camp in early 2017, and will also develop an online version. All of the curriculum will be openly available and (hopefully) useful for many other groups as well. In this session, we want to talk about the syllabus, discuss different formats for bringing the course online, and explore other strategies to propagate and reach more people.
Agenda
After a short introductions of the project and getting to know each other (six word memoirs), we will structure the discussions around two broad topics. The first round will focus on the syllabus (content) of the camp. We will present the basic outline and invite participants to fill in the details, poke holes in it, suggest additional topics. The second round of discussion will focus on strategies for replication/ propagation. This could include the use of online tools and platforms, translation/adaptation to other languages and regions, or strategies for partnerships. Mark and I will lightly facilitate, but the session will be very participatory. During both rounds, we will ask participants to document their ideas.
Participants
The session will work well at almost any size (within reason). If we end up with 3-10 people, we can do most of the conversations in the full group. If we have more than 10 participants, we will break into sub-groups (possibly focusing on different topics) with extensive sharing back to the larger group. We will close the session in a big circle to reflect on the session and talk about next steps.
Outcome
We hope to walk away with a lot of feedback on the syllabus, the structure, and some new ideas for reaching more people. A bonus would be finding organizations that are interested in replicating and adapting the materials to offer similar learning experiences to different audiences, in different languages, or in different formats.
