Ideas

Link-me

Link-me overcomes rural isolation problems and uses a web-platform that allows rural NEETS to access live webinars on careers topics, and on soft-skills, but more importantly to set-up 'buddies' and 'groups' to support each other in their efforts to gain access to employment and training, and on to their first steps in their career.

Spotted mobile phone app: Spot it. Share it.

As part of the Interactivism Hack Weekend, Enabled by Design and Go Genie were invited to join forces and work together on developing a mobile phone app to support both projects. We would like to develop a mobile phone app to allow our communities to contribute to our existing websites (http://www.enabledbydesign.org and the Go Genie website which is currently being developed by http://www.peskypeople.co.uk/) more easily and while out and about. The mobile app would give people the ability to take a photo on their phone of a 'Love', 'Hate' or something they've 'Spotted', write some accompanying text and post it to the site by sending it as a text message. A bit like twitpic but for the Enabled by Design and Go Genie websites respectively.
