We had over 70 people join us for this month’s Social Innovation Meetup on Wednesday.

Following in the footsteps of Bettr – an unconference alternative to the technology in education trade event BETT – we wanted to think about how the web can re-organise education.

So this month, we heard first from Chris Thorpe who runs the MySpace developer platform. With its 110 million-plus users worldwide, Chris told us how MySpace could be used to provide its young, digitally-savvy generation of users with new ways of learning. Next up Alice Phillips, from the Young Foundation’s Learning Launchpad, set a challenge to the audience: how could you use digital tools to bridge the divide between parents and teachers – something that’s really important to a child’s experience of school and education.

The next Social Innovation Meetup will be on the 19th February at Nesta and you can sign up to come along here.
