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.

Social Canvas uses the power of media, literature, film, theatre, music and

various other forms of art to inspire individuals to create a positive social impact.

Through our Workshops, events and action camps, we bring together diverse groups

of people, build fresher perspectives,
