CrisisCamp is a movement of volunteers, many are technologists and IT professionals, that have come together in a number of cities around the world in support of relief efforts around the world. The initial CrisisCamps were in response to the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010. Since then over 2000 volunteers in nearly 20 cities have come together to volunteer their time and skills.  Aptivate is continuing its support for CrisisCamps by hosting the next camp, on 14th August 2010, in our offices in Cambridge, supported by the Humanitarian Centre.  The focus of this camp will be to support the start up of a CrisisCamp in Pakistan in response to the recent floods.

On Saturday 23rd of January, Aptivate were out in force at Crisis Camp London which was kindly hosted by the London Knowledge Lab.

Björn had a chance to grab some footage on the day and put together a short video explaining what Crisis Camp is all about, what it’s like in London and what you might expect if you come along.

Crisis Camp London will be a regular event for the next few weeks, one which is going to grow in size and impact.
