Proposal: Youth social network driven by cultural events. Through a social network which provides dutch-morrocan youth cultural events, they socialize among those with the same interest and find themselves in the society. Variety of dutch-morrocan youth prefered cultural events are held in multiple locations in all over Hoograven. Each time a different event takes place in one of many event locations and other networked event areas direct the scattered youth to the event location. All the locations are public that is exposed to the neighborhood. As what a little camera does to Kibera youth community and the culture, this network is a motivation for dutch-morrocan youth to what they can cause for their own cultural standing in the community and to find themselves in Dutch society.
Programs proposed: cultural obsession is a good vehicle to transfer the youth enthusiasm toward finding social identity of their own. Skateboard parks, Video graffiti walls, concert stages, and all include information interface integrated to the programs that direct the youth to the event. All the proposed programs are linked to existing local youth programs in an effort for cultural boost of the community.
