Skill shares are an important aspect of our Camp model. Premised on the belief that everyone has something to share and teach, skill shares squarely challenge the idea of 'experts' and enabled participants to become facilitators. Skill shares happened every afternoon before the labs. It was an hour when anyone who wanted to could offer to teach, talk about or train on anything they wanted. This allowed for a wide variety of discussions and exchanges in small groups or pairs. Here's a selection of some of the skill shares that were run:
