Citizenship in the Age of Participation

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.  Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead

Enabled by new technology, but not determined by it, people all across Canada are exploring ways to communicate and collaborate more effectively in their communities, and poised to use these tools to create new ideas and platforms for prosperity in the 21st century.

At ChangeCamp London we caught up with some of our city's most engaged citizens: Sean Galloway, Stuart Clark, Elaine Gamble, Joel Adams, and Kevin VanLierop, to get their thoughts on how their digital lives are affecting citizenship.

We also recently chatted with renowned community activist, journalist and author Dave Meslin.  

In this episode, we dig into the issue of citizen apathy and how technology can be a double-edged engagement sword.
