What is Unconference ?
Unconference is an ad-hoc gathering of people, born out of a desire to learn and share in an open environment, and where the participants co-create the agenda together.
The Theme for the Social Canvas Unconference is Arts, Music & Media, and the participants can learn, share and co-create through sharing sessions, workshops and talks. You can participate by either attending workshops or sessions by others, or by taking a session yourself. The sessions are walk in-walk on, and if you find a session uninteresting, you can move on to another one. When sessions aren't running, there's usually other fun stuff happening like food, music, dance, games, conversation or games.
What can you expect at the Social Canvas Unconference ?
Workshops, sharing sessions, films, discussions, music and interactions. Apart from a few structured events and sessions by expert resource persons, there will be a lot of
open spaces for participants to
self-organize around interests, ideas, experiences, workshops, play, media, music etc. with each other in
the spirit of sharing and fun. There is no audience. Only participants. And since we believe each participant is a resource person, anyone can host a session, help out with planning, ask questions or share something.
Everybody is invited. There really are no walls.
Venue of the Unconference
The Unconference happens in a Forest Farm, in the jungles on the outskirts of Mumbai. It happens amidst naturally beautiful and inspiring environs, surrounded by nature and flora&fauna.
The proposed venue is Van Vadi, a 64-acre forest farm, on the foothills of Sahyadri. The land at vanvadi is covered by 80% dense forest, there are seasons streams flowing through the undulating forest land. There is a rock pool and bountiful flora and fauna.Living at Van Vadi is rustic and basic. There is plenty of fresh air, water, trees, and stars at night. For sleeping there are tents and a couple of mud huts without walls.
