Daliy Vitamin at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Speakers Corner on September 16, 2010
Matthew Ray arrived in Barcelona 15 years ago and since then he has been “obsessed” with the English problem in Catalonia and the rest of Spain. His dream is for everyone in the Spanish state who needs English to be able to reach their desired level, and therefore avoiding the further loss of personal and professional opportunities.
He’ll explain what the Daily Vitamin by Ziggurat English Services is and how he has used it to create a “pre-web 2.0” community with people interested in improving their English; he’ll demonstrate why this type of project and other web resources are key if Catalonia (and Spain) want to overcome their “genetic defect” with English.
Finally, he will offer a few suggestions about how companies and public administration can make their language-training budgets more efficient and effective.

It also includes activities for those who have never heard of podcasts: live podcast recordings, a beginner's workshop to show how to create your own podcast and, also, the Asociación Podcast will deliver the awards to this year's best podcasts.
The conference will also include a space where listeners, podcasters and the general public can share their experiences.

e-Criterium at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Speakers Corner on August 7, 2010
e-Criterium will do a lightning talk in the Speaker's Corner at PodCamp Barcelona where they will speak about:
Citizen participation to improve the health system, e-Criterium is an idea in action where we all win.
A meeting place for collaboration and exchange, to share collective knowledge of citizens through their opinions made available to everybody: health and other professionals, patients, users, managers, institutions, organisations and participation institutions, such as health councils.
We wish to highlight what is working well, modify what works badly and change what works.
e-Criterium in 4 easy steps
1. Write the history from my role as patient, user, companion, healthcare/other professional, and citizen.
2. Define its subject: opinion, gratitude, complaint, congratulation, suggestion, idea, experience, observation.
3. Write the keywords.
4. Accept the conditions
e-Criterium opens communication and collaboration channels between individuals, citizens, collectives, representative organs and organisations, and institutions, the management institutions of the health system.
e-Criterium was born in Catalonia but is internationally oriented, and we are already working with our colleagues in England, where the website Patient Opinion has been running for three years. And we want to keep on adding… this is only the beginning.

Josep Jordana at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Speakers Corner on August 7, 2010
Josep Jordana will explain, "What is Pirene Lab" in 8 minutes in the Speaker's Corner at PodCamp Barcelona.
What is Pirene Lab?
A Living Lab. A space for digital and social innovation based on design thinking and user centred creation in the context of a mountain region. A mixture between a training centre, an investigation centre and an incubator for business and social initiatives.
Mountain regions require their own solutions, and not just technological ones. Broadband Internet connection arrived in many the villages of the Pyrenees just a year ago. It is low quality, expensive and there are still "holes". Open and distributed models, as opposed to centralised models, are not just an option but a necessity.
The Internet of things, devices and sensors, one of the next evolutions of Internet requires a special interpretation in mountain regions, small agricultural operations with animals, the importance of the atmospheric temperature, land management and cultural patrimony etc
Ecosystem and sustainability, fashionable terms these days, are a historical reality in these zones. The urban and the rural have much to share and exchange.
