YOU DECIDE WHAT’S NEXT
We love good ideas. No matter where they’re from. We love to realize the potential of people. No matter where or how they live. We are passionate advocates of the power and possibilities that the web, mobile and new media offer.
AMSTERDAM – NAIROBI – AMSTERDAM
On June 9th the very first 1%EVENT was organized. In Amsterdam over 300 people came together to invest one day of their time, expertise, experience, talent, network and energy to work on new innovative approaches to international co-operation. On March 12th the same was happening in Kenya: 1%EVENT Nairobi was organized. The next event will be soon again: 1%EVENT Amsterdam, September 17th. You decide what’s next.
1%EVENT
The 1%EVENT is the Open Space event that connects people with smart ideas for projects that stimulate the self reliance of individuals anywhere in the world and improve their standard of living.
INNOVATIVE
The 1%EVENT brings together innovators, young professionals, entrepreneurs and change-makers that invest one day of their time, expertise, experience, talent, network and energy to work on new innovative approaches to international co-operation.
INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION 2.0
Massive collaboration, self-organization, open-source, collective intelligence and crowd sourcing – these are all trends that typify Web 2.0, where the person is at the centre of the process, and creates his or her own world. International development 2.0 is about using these ICT for development tools, techniques and models towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
