Engage, Taste, Learn, Create and Replicate

1. Engage: We want to create a Crisis Camp in a Box and this is a great way to test out what we’ve already been doing in a Global Day of Learning
2. Taste: It is a tasting menu of all the unique ways that CrisisCamp and their open source partners can learn, share and activate change.
3. Learn: Be Interactive. Mentor and Share by providing folks a chance to do a deeper dive into the topics of open source aid and collaboration. Use existing learning tools provided by partners and provide expert resources where ever possible.
4. Create: Create an inventory of all the existing learning materials. If there are any missing learning materials, either create or document it as an action.
5. Replicate: This is part of a 4 stage process to create content for any CrisisCamp.  Full Launch of CrisisCamp in a Box projected for January 15, 2011
