We want to have a nice time in the Alps, mixing generations. We'll have a bbq and fun sessions discussing, sketching, sculpting with children how they see the communication today and what their dreams are. The objective in the end is not to patent huuuuuge business ideas but to discover what we call innovation with other people's eyes and spend some time together first.

Each adult participant has two selective conditions to fulfill:
1. Bring your child with you to the event
2. Have food for him/her

Recap of the event

We welcomed 8 children and asked them to explain and draw what the internet was to them. In very general terms, here are a few consolidated answers:

• Children do not differentiate the internet from the devices they use to browse. The internet is an iPhone, a computer, a Nintendo Wii.
• It seems there is no such thing as a non-connected device.
• 3-5 years old use the internet to find examples of drawings, and have all been involed in a video chat without really thinking it's very different from a phone conversation (it was considered an experience closer to calling than to using the internet)
• 5-7 years old play games online, multiplayer ones like Club Penguin, or single user Flash games on sites like jeux.com
