[HacktionLab] Getting input into a mapping session on BarnCamp

[Garcon du Monde]

 * camping / tents / barn (!)

 * Small Group Learning (as opposed to SG Teaching, which is the usual
   language employed)

   - although there may be facilitators, the emphasis of BC (for me) is
     very much on _sharing_ knowledge, rather than a traditional
     "teacher-student" relationship.

 * fun!

 * hill - it's a big one, isn't it?!

 * friendship - old and new

 * privacy - to really engage in issues/topics up for discussion. this
   is in relation to both the fact that we're away from interruptions
   like you get at home or in the city (no ringing mobile phones all the
   time!!), but also that we're away from technological tracking (i
   *can* wander off into the field and have a really private
   conversation with someone if i want, that's not just an ideal that
   i'd like to aspire to...)

hope that helps.

solidarity,
