The San Juan GovJam 2016 is part of the Global GovJam, a once a year global challenge where people just like you come together to learn, collaborate, and create ideas for making public services work better. Join a worldwide effort to apply to apply creativity and service design to make positive change happen.

Working around a common Theme, participants will divide into teams and use design thinking methods, such as user research, brainstorming, and rapid prototyping and testing, to develop and  build innovative approaches and solutions towards challenges faced by the public sector. At the end of the two days, participants will upload their results and publish them for the world.

Jamming offers a high-energy, massively diverse environment which focusses firmly on doing, not talking. By moving through a common innovation process, participants move away from well-trodden paths, building on each other's ideas to take practical, constructive steps towards novel solutions.

The San Juan GovJam is open to everybody in the civic, private, and government sectors who is interested in improving public services, and who wants to add their own ideas and perspectives, while enjoying themselves and learning more about how the world works. Both individuals and organisations can join - you do not need previous experience in design thinking, government, or the public sector. 

The GovJam is especially relevant to government and public sector professionals, and will give them the opportunity to grow collaborations - exchanging techniques, insights and ideas with colleagues near and far, while working on concrete projects addressing key issues inspired by the common Theme.

A small $45.00 fee to cover food and expenses applies. But considering that a regular 2 day training of this kinda usually costs $950.00 a person it’s a great deal!
