Planning Group Meeting 08/04/2014

Hey Guys,

So, for all of you that were not at the meeting, these are the things that we discussed and that we decided upon:

Our event will be happening on 17th of April in Room 143 RHB from 4-6 (we have changed the location since Room 300 appeared to be slightly too big and is more difficult to find, also we have the room from 3pm onwards to have enough time to set everything up.)

• I will create a flyer and set up a Facebook event for the Intervention. I will make all of you who are on Facebook administrators of it so you can invite your friends as well. Also tell your friends about it now so we reach the largest audience possible. 

•  Everyone should prepare two questions for a Digital Questionnare regarding their specific digital topic and send them to Anthony until Thursday so he can put them all together. 

• The Event will be called 'Digital Awareness'. In order to maintain a balance between the negative and positive impacts of digital devices on our everyday lives. We will have a seperated area in the room which will be digital free. The rest of the room will have different small 'stations' where people can engage with different mini interventions regarding different topics. Every one of us needs to think of a way to critically engage the public with their specific area of concern. This can include using digital devices as a means as well, as long as it is outside the 'digital free' zone. Please think of your specific station until this thursday (10th of April) and sort out the logistics. 

• For the digital free space, we thought it would be nice to have some snacks so we set up a list of who is going to bring what: Tracei (Juice), Becci (Cake), Anthony (Cup Cakes), Elettra (Pretzels), Hannah (Crisps), the people that have not yet chosen what to bring, please figure that out until thursday as well. 

I hope I have covered everything that we spoke of in the meeting, if I have forgotten anything, just post it in the comment section below! Our next meeting to discuss specifics and continue with the planning of the event will be this thursday the 10th of April at 2 pm at the loafers cafe as usually! See you guys there! x 

P.S: For those of you who have documented their digital detox by keeping a diary of some sort please upload the results as soon as possible so we can see what kind of impact it had on each person! :)
