What is a *Jam?
Imagine a Jam session in music. You come together, bringing your instruments, your skills, your open mind.
Someone sets up a theme, and you start to Jam around it. You don't overanalyse it, you don't discuss it to death – you bounce your ideas off other people, and play around with what comes back. Together, you build something which none of you could have built alone, while learning new ideas, sharpening your skills, and having a great time.
The CoJam works in a similar way. But it's not music you are “jamming” with – it's with insights and ideas.
You'll be working with people you might never have met before, bouncing insights and ideas off of one another and building on what bounces back. And it's not just talking – you are here to build a prototype and plan of action which you, the community group or somebody else might like to develop further. Creating a starting point for action and social impact.
