abstract = {Das BarCamp Lübeck geht 2018 in die dritte Runde. Dennoch ist noch nicht allen das Format solchen „Unkonferenzen“ bekannt. Hier gibt es keine eingeladenen Vorträge, alle sind Expertinnen und Experten auf einem Bereich. Worum es geht? Das bestimmen die Teilnehmenden am Morgen eines jeden BarCamp-Tags.



Wir stellen in unserem Talk das BarCamp-Format generell vor und berichten aus unseren Erfahrungen „hinter den Kulissen“ der letzten 2,5 Jahre im Orga-Team.},

abstract = {Barcamps represent an unconference format with a common theme but without pre-planned programme. The session schedule is designed collaboratively at the beginning of each (un-)conference day. In Germany there are several barcamps in the field of education. Two of them will be highlighted from the position of members of their organising teams. “Educamps” on digital media in education started in 2008 and have since taken place 21 times. “OERcamps” on Open Educational Resources started in 2012 and have since taken place 9 times.



A recent review of OER-related activities in Germany on behalf of UNESCO (Orr, Neumann, Muuß-Merholz 2017, 8) found: “Since OER activities are mostly driven bottom-up, there has been a need for sharing questions, experiences and materials between players, who have been isolated in their own institutions. These players found opportunities for sharing in cross-sector events and communities. Especially the barcamp/unconference format turned out to fit tremendously well developing a strong German OER community. Indeed, Germany so far has seen a remarkably strong cross-sector community with common interest in OER.”



Barcamps open up new and contemporary formats for learning based on openness, sharing, personal meaning, participation and equality. They are the appropriate format of education for a time in which we are depending on not only transferring fixed knowledge but also co-creating new knowledge. Barcamps are about sharing, discussing, negotiating solutions for a world in change. Barcamps are one way of transforming education through open approaches from bottom-up.



Barcamps are not only a real best practice of open pedagogy and open educational practices. They are also the source of collective development and use of open educational materials. The documentation with collaboratively text documents, blogging, podcasts etc. are mostly shared under a CC BY licence. The organisers also provide templates for documentation and planning under CC BY.},

abstract = {Barcamps or open conferences are open education events which are open to all. They represent an unconference format with a common theme but without pre-planned programme.

Three of them will be highlighted. “Educamps” on digital media in education started in 2008 and have since taken place 21 times. “OERcamps” on Open Educational Resources started in 2012 and have since taken place 9 times. “InklusionsCamp” on inclusive education which has taken place for the first time in 2015.

Barcamps are about sharing, discussing, negotiating solutions for a world in change. Barcamps are one way of transforming education through open approaches from bottom-up.



Barcamps are not only a real best practice of open pedagogy and open educational practices. They are also the source of collective development and use of open educational materials  (Bernhardt & Kirchner 2009). The documentation with collaborative text documents, blogging, podcasts etc. are mostly shared under a CC BY licence. The organisers also provide templates for documentation and planning under CC BY.



Barcamps provide a radical “Open to all” approach by lowering the barriers by removing participation fees and any formal requirements, fostering cross sectoral collaboration, encouraging volunteering and peer to peer support for participants, facilitate ways of participation via digital media. Barcamps aim to be truely inclusive events.



In this presentation we will give an overview on these characteristics. We would also like to encourage the participants to discuss how they can bring open conferencing to their home turfs.
