Do you want to create an event that inspires and empowers friends/family/co-workers using existing resources. Below are details for creating your very own workshop where any friends/family/co-workers swaps skills while working on collaborative projects that they instigate and complete within 24 hours.

The event is launched with live music and drinks where everyone is encouraged to post an event/workshop that they want to run during the afternoon on a whiteboard. Preconceived events can be seeded on the whiteboard to get the ball rolling and a list of prizes linked to achievement categories are listed to spur on the activity (e.g. most innovative interactivity!?).
