Abstract: <\/strong>Palomor5 is an (currently running) innovation camp looking for creative young people to develop ideas for new working environments that fit the needs and skills of the digital generation.<\/p>\n

30 young and creative minds were invited to stay in Berlin (location size: 2000sqm). During 6 weeks, completely financed by Deutsche Telekom, participants have the opportunity to bring their thoughts and ideas to life. Participants were selected to represent a mix of nationalities, genders, and professions with a broad variety of skills and interests. At the end, ideas will be presented to a selected public during a summit: people from business, politics and media that can take on their solutions and introduce them into everyday working life. Palomar5 was established as a non-profit initiative seeking innovation outside of corporate structures. The founders of Palomar5 feel that \u201cinnovation\u201d itself is in need of reformation.<\/p>\n

Social<\/p>\n

Especially younger people from the digital generation long for the opportunity to invent new rules and change existing patterns. At the same time companies are more and more interested in new ideas from their customers or future customers. Palomar5 is based on a concept that brings together the two different motivations and aims at offering support and space for questioning and reforming prevailing working and thinking paradigms, without any economic pressure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Obstacle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social<\/p>\n

Only a handful of creative minds have the opportunity to spend 6 weeks in such a camp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indication<\/strong><\/p>\n

Change in current innovation patterns<\/p>\n

Still innovations are often exclusively developed in corporate surroundings. Before signing an employment contract younger people have no access to these corporate worlds and thus do not get the chance to bring in their ideas. This holds especially true for non-consumer good areas, such as the working world, medical or social services. Innovation camps might be a good way to include the knowledge of younger people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sector specifics \/ cultural specifics<\/strong><\/p>\n

This particular innovation camp is used to find innovations in the area of working. An adoption of concepts to other questions \/ sectors is easily imaginable<\/p>\n
