Creative Cuppa

　　

　　
　　
Social Media & Creativity Network (SMCN) is a new project, organized by the Creative Cuppa Working Group (CCWG), which is physically in association with the Department of Media and Communication, at the University of Leicester, in the UK. This is a project aims to bring together all interested groups (techics, politics, business, etc.) and people around the world to share resources and exchange ideas relating to the use of ’social media’, and to explore the webX.0-related creativity through the global networked collaboration. The project also aims to build an absolutely ‘open’ and ‘unconference’ style of platform, on which anyone can raise any topics, at any time, for any reasons. We welcome any interested groups and/or individuals to join us, in order to create a purely real-time and collaborative ‘network of networks’.
