“Hacking here means to destroy, format, manipulate data and the systems of sites considered to be hegemonic. As activism, it is more
creative than destructive.”– from the cover of Esai Tentang Seni Video dan Media Baru /

Now I have some loosely connected ideas, but I can’t think detailedly in everything.
{ Press [F1] } HELP!
![Page 19: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I know loosely about the WHY.I don’t know yet the WHAT and the HOW.
But I know about the WHO.(or know about the WHO who should know about the WHO)
![Page 20: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I discuss my friends about the whole idea.Sometime ask people I never know before.
Just try.

JUST TRY.Experimenting.
Freedom to Fail.(and rights to get more chances)

In the end I have these cool WHOs who trusted me (or trusted a friend of mine),
and committed to do something together.

Discussions & workshops: 3 parallel tracksKeynotes & Forums: before lunch.

![Page 31: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

And those are only loose categories.Details in practice are up to the resource people, and interaction from participants.
![Page 33: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Facilitators came up with innovative ways of co-learning. From role-playing to mini-
unconferences within the workshop.Things that the ‘curriculum designer’ can’t really imagine alone by himself.

Throw in open-minded creative people in to a room. Provide them freedom. May be guide them a bit with some loose themes.
![Page 41: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
It will be OK.If not, that’s a lesson learned.And that’s already something.
![Page 42: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
(Report guideline from one of funders)Highlights of main activity, 3-5 bullets.
Brief description, accomplishments and results.Challenges and how they were overcome.
Lessons learned or best practices.Noteworthy outcomes/observations.
![Page 43: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Seeking for and listening to feedbacks.Tell everybody (and funders) about it.
What works, what’s not.
![Page 44: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Funders are not only funders.They are also partners.
We share some common goals, right?
![Page 45: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Without some structures(guidelines, themes, schedules, etc.)
it’s diffcult to work.
![Page 46: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
But, stick too much with structures,you self-censored yourself.
No innovation, new ways for doing things.
![Page 47: Some Ideas and Works Behind Mekong ICT Camp 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f53b4c905ff7a8b4591/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Open and Flexible Structure.Space to Work.
Freedom to Innovate and Participate.(so we can solve things together)
