[ecrea] Call for Participants: Scottish Comics Unconference Meet-up 2015

Scottish Comics Unconference Meet-up 2015

Call for Participants

The Scottish Comics Unconference Meet-up will take place on Saturday 
28th February 2015 in Glasgow, Scotland.

This Scottish Comics Unconference Meet-up is open to any and all with an 
interest in engaging seriously with the medium we study and love: 
students, teachers, librarians, academics, artists, publishers, critics, 
readers, collectors…

Like a conference, there will be moderators facilitating discussion.  
Unlike a conference, there won’t be a pre-decided programme and there 
will be no keynote lectures or paper presentations.

Instead, the programme will be decided collectively and openly and the 
event will consist of collective work sessions facilitated by 
moderators. This means that the agenda will be set by the participants, 
not by the organisers.

The first session of the day will see a vote on which topics, submitted 
by participants prior to the meet-up, will be discussed in break-out 
sessions.

We would like to start exploring in advance what kind of activities, 
session topics,  tutorials, or workshops you would like to lead, or what 
kind of topics which you know little about, but on which you would like 
someone else to lead a session.  (If you propose a tutorial, then you 
are specifically volunteering to (co-)facilitate – if you are the only 
one who knows how to teach your topic, and you don’t show up, people 
will be disappointed).

What to do:

    * Please register your initial interest to attend using this form.
    * To carry on conversations about what sort of content a session 
might have or to learn more about unconferences please use our open 
planning document here.
    * Feel free to leave comments on this page and on the posts on our

    * Show up!

This unconference is inspired in previous international events in a 
variety of academic disciplines. To find out more about what an
