Nordic countries (and elsewhere if they like) can together further their competencies in this field.

Elements of a social network…
• Profiles• Presentation of self• Photo• Discussions• Special interest
groups
• Wiki• Blogs• Activity Stream• Notifications• Chat
A network like norDist needs various “spaces” and functionalities which spur activity and help members to use it as a learning space.
We are testing and learning:

What MAKES or breaks it?
When you og to a party, a conference or a course… what do you do to gain
the most???
But what do you do online…
How do you get to know
people?
Should i dare??
What will they think
Is it interesting?

What we are learning
• Leaving your mark (Activity stream…)• Your face matters • Generosity works wonders• Sharing, tips, stories, requests moves us on…• Barriers to overcome are easier than you think• The more you share the more you gain• New ideas are born where people come
together, share, test, try and discuss
