Technology is reshaping the world around us, but too often we have very little say in the world it creates, and more importantly, who benefits. The time for Camden and its citizens to reimagine its own future is now—an alternative future for the 21st century. Our mission is to kick start a series of experiments to explore how we want technology to shape Camden. That’s where you come in. We need your help to build a new type of local institution that helps us all create a radically more democratic, sustainable and equal future for Camden. If that sounds like something you want to be a part of then join the discovery︎ https://alternativecamden.com/News-Headlines Mon, 07 Jan 2019 12:44:26 +0000 Alternative Camden https://alternativecamden.com/News-Headlines NEWS MARCH 17 🧪 Experiments for Camden.
