Sustainable Development - Project Management and Communication

Hi guys,

Today’s workshop is cancelled, now both me and Per are sick.
I’ve send the two documents we were to work with today in an email for you, risk analysis and group contract. There are instructions in the text, and with the help of Handbook for Small Projects I am sure you can do a good job. Do your best, these are important steps for the project plan. If you have any questions just email us on sdproject@csduppsala.uu.se and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Good luck!
Mia

Hi guys,

I’ve now corrected all assignment 1. Some of you still have not handed in and if you know you’re one of those - just email us the assignment as soon as possible.

For those of you who did not meet the requirements to pass - just check my comments and fix the things you missed. Email us the assignment when you’ve done your changes.

If you did not know - you can change the settings so that emails to your student email account is forwarded to your personal email account.

Enjoy your weekends!

Ps. I really enjoyed reading all of your assingments, so inspirational and I got to learn a lot of new things!

Hi guys.

What you need  to do today is join the project group you want to work with - on the studentportal. You don’t need to send us anything by email - all of this is done on the studentportal. (If you still don’t have an account, then it’s enough to just decide with the other group members).

In your group, make sure you have a preliminary idea of what to do. Think of Dan roam’s "who, what, where, when, why", chapter 6. To have an preliminary idea about these things is a good start out point for tomorrow’s workshop where we will look at, among other things, innovation.

For tomorrow: You might need to go outside for somethings, so bring warm clothes. To make research and documentation easier - bring some computers, cameras etc.

Looking forward to the workshop, it will be fun!

You can watch the movie here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OazUh0Ym8rc

And reflect upon these questions and summarize on one page - send to sdproject@csduppsala.uu.se.
(75% attendance requirement on lectures as these counts as so if you know you’ll miss more than that - we suggest you do this task)

1. Is it ok to lie when working for something you believe in?
2. What norms/rules are the yes men breaking? Ok? Not ok? Why?
3. What is it that makes the yes men "successful"? Or not successful?
4. Does this inspire you to new ideas? Something you could do to push the idea you already have?

Good luck and enjoy the movie!

Hey guys!

Thank you all for a good seminar. I’m attaching the contact info you all gave. 1 contact person per preliminary project group…

I suggest that the contact person send the class an email when you’ve decided to meat so that others can join your discussions if they want. Just a suggestion..

The groups are on the studentportalen.uu.se and you join the groups there. We will postpone the deadline a few hours so that you have some time after the lecture next tursday to discuss and decide final groups. We leave some groups blank to give you some freedom to add more groups to the list.

I referred to Kumi Naidoos book on Citizen Action during my talk yesterday. If you’re interested, you can find it by clicking the link below.

"Norrland 1" in the schedule is the same as "Geocentrum, Norrland 1". Sorry if this has caused confusion.

Hey guys,

I just had a seminar for my course in Sociology and I met some ppl from humanioradagarna there. They told me about the possibility for projects to apply for funding through their event. HOWEVER - the requirements to be able to apply for this funding are quite narrow: at least one of the project members need to be student of, or past student of some of the humanitites falculties here in Uppsala (as far as I understand). But have a look, maybe it could be something for some of you. Last day to apply Feb 7. A jury will decide who gets funding.

And as I mentioned, cemus cannot fund your projects - but start looking around for funding and sponsoring - and share good ideas with the others!

Have a good weekend!
