We’re taking a pause, as our founding director Deborah is going on maternity leave from September 2012. We’ve learnt from many of our projects with new mums and children’s services, that starting a family can be like starting a business, extremely consuming in both time and energy. Which is why we are finishing off our current projects and pausing the work of the studio, we see this time as a chance to focus on a few initiatives, whilst feeding our imaginations. “I started thinkpublic when I was 23 and I had no idea what an impact it would create. thinkpublic has grown from strength to strength, I have been lucky to work with some amazing people on a diverse and exciting range of projects.
Yet now is the time to do something different for a bit, the ultimate ‘social’ thing of starting a family! We’ve had an amazing time over the last 9 years leading and shaping the movement of social design and innovation in the UK and beyond. And we know there is more to do. Us Now. Us Now is a documentary film project "about the power of mass collaboration, the government and the Internet"[1] The New York Times describes it as a film which "paints a future in which every citizen is connected to the state as easily as to Facebook, choosing policies, questioning politicians, collaborating with neighbours.
"[2] The documentary weaves together the perceptions of leading thinkers on the power of the web, with the overriding suggestion that people gain a sense of satisfaction from active participation rather than symbolic representation in decision-making processes.[3] (Rebecca Frankel, editor of Channel 4's FourDocs) Synopsis[edit] The Us Now website describes the project as an examination of the role of the internet, and more specifically Web 2.0 in facilitating direct public governance without the need for politicians.

Covering the whole of Kent the project has inspired local community projects and dementia action alliances to form. The past few months we've been hard at work creating a website that captures all the activity that has happened under the Kent Dementia Friendly Communities project. The website quietly went live a few weeks ago and we wanted to share it on here: www.dementiafriendlykent.org.uk The site is not finished, in the future we hope it will be updated by the local alliances and project teams to continue to share the work they are doing, inspiring other communities along the way. We're still editing and adding to the site so if anyone has any comments please do get in touch.

Making participation count. Funky Projects. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. Europ'Act. Les ambitions de la politique de cohésion 2007-2013 suscitent des besoins d’appropriation de ses enjeux stratégiques et de ses modalités d’intervention.
Un appui aux acteurs institutionnels concernés par la mise en œuvre de cette politique (SGAR, Conseils régionaux, Ministères gestionnaires...), ainsi qu’aux autres acteurs intervenant dans les domaines d’action privilégiés (attractivité, innovation, économie de la connaissance, emploi, développement durable...), s’avère donc nécessaire. Le programme national Europ’Act, cofinancé par le FEDER, a vocation à soutenir les initiatives développées en ce sens, dès lors qu’elles permettent de lancer et d’alimenter une réflexion, un accompagnement et un suivi global sur le traitement des enjeux de la politique de cohésion.
