New Views 2

Thanks Miek for doing a smashing job in getting this blog up so quickly!

Our cluster, which was ‘Changing the Real World’ have already begun discussing our next action plan. Some of us are compiling notes from our cluster discussion so that we have that all to start off with. Many of us are very keen on keeping the discussions going so we are still finding the best way to doing this.

Our next plan was to ‘take over’ Design 21 (www.design21sdn.com/design21)  which is a website on design and social responsibility sponsored by UNESCO, and upload our own content and undertake discussions there. Though, once we’ve had a look, we had discovered that this may not be as productive as we were hoping. We are now talking about setting up our own blog and post up our content to generate the discussions from there. Once there are robust and cohesive threads, we could then upload to Design 21 for us to initiate and sustain a presence in the socially-oriented design platform.

So, that’s just an update of where our cluster is at the moment.

Miek and I were talking of how we could network all the conference images and blogs into this site, and here is what we thought. If anyone has images of New Views 2, please upload it onto a flickr website and tag their images with ‘newviews2‘. In that way we can link them all to this website. We also want to have a ‘blog-roll’ with anyone’s blog who has written about New Views 2. In order to do so, please e-mail me (Yoko) with your name and blog address. My e-mail is yoko.akama@rmit.edu.au
