About

We are an organisa+on that fosters inspira+on and collabora+on within the Cambridge community.

In the Summer of 2014, a friend and I discovered the viral photographic blog ‘Humans of New York’. ASer weeks of sharing and browsing its

contents, we decided that we’d set up our own ‘Humans’ project in our respecUve UniversiUes. So we did.

It started when I was a first year mathemaUcian at the University of Cambridge. A year has passed, and we have matured, made progress and taken

steps to plan ahead. We have evolved.

Humans of Cambridge is now divided into 2 main branches. The first branch is the original blog idea: photographing and interviewing people around

Cambridge. The second branch is a web applicaUon that allows ideas to be published and get potenUal sponsorship within the University. It also

helps people with skills to become aware of the hoXest budding projects around the campus.

We also acUvely host our own events or sponsor University-‐wide events in order to keep up the momentum, all in the spirit of sharing ideas,

collaboraUng and embracing the diverse skill sets Cambridge possesses. Our beauUful official site 1 sums up all of this up very nicely.

TheConcept




The Concept

Inspire. Collaborate. Do.

Cambridge is a very scaXered community. An intelligent, thriving, but scaXered, community. Humans of Cambridge leverages the intelligence we

have here to help the community thrive more than ever. We do so via 2 main projects.

i. The part that reminds you of Humans of New York

We have a blog of portraits of random individuals around Cambridge2.

Views are limited, comments are virtually non-‐existent, and the quality of the photos are not that impressive, to put it politely. That is true. We have

a million excuses, such as how I, the founder, failed to make it a popular idea amongst my friends; or how I had to take a break from University due

to illness; or how I was too conscious of the fact that people wouldn’t trust a small Asian girl going around with a camera in town. But those are not

important because things are going to pick up the coming year, and I have a plan.

We have made a list of 16 potenUal interviewees who we will contact throughout September 2014. Upon their consent, we will schedule 1 interview

per week to get our blog updated at least once a week. This will be exactly enough for the two examinaUon-‐free terms at Cambridge. Spontaneous

interviews will be treated as an extra entry to our blog. In this way, the blog updates at regular intervals without pu`ng extra pressure on our

studies.

The potenUal interviewees include students listed on the ‘16 most impressive students in Cambridge’ publicaUon. These will make each weekly post

exciUng, inspiring and easy to publicize.

We will also encourage our photographers to submit their best works by indicaUng on each post the name of the photographer. Soon, our page will

be filled with beauUful portraits.

ii. The part that reminds you of LinkedIn

Or even more so, Behance. In any case, the other part of my plan includes our new branch, a site3 powered by Wordpress that connects skills with

ideas. As you’ve probably guessed, this site is not the newest idea on the planet but as far as I know, it is in Cambridge and we need it. We currently

have a rough prototype, so content is limited and should be treated as examples rather than actual posts. It will soon be updated to a mulU-‐user site.

Our site allows people to publicize and browse skills and ideas.

. The IdeasContent is flexible. Posts could be about your personal project, a University-‐wide event or just a random thought.

It is also called ‘OpportuniUes’ in our site because those with skills can browse through these projects and get involved.

.. The skillsWe have a category for personal profiles. In honor of our starUng point, the structure of our profiles will model that of a post on Humans of New

York. So each profile contains:

> a portrait

> your personal moXo/quote

> 1-‐3 professional links

> 1-‐3 skills

This simplisUc model allows one’s skill set to be presented in the cleanest and brought across in the most effecUve way.

StarUng from this month onwards, the content, post style and security system will be formalized.

2013-2014

‘Take a Break’ Entertainment Night

On the night of April 26th 2014, a group of just under 100 people sat, stood, ate, drank, chaXed and laughed in the colourfully but soothingly lit Blue

Room of the Cambridge Union Society. It was an Entertainment Night I organised under the name HoC.

People come together and, inevitably, inspire. That night, the performers shared their talents and inspired the audience; the audience interacted and

shared their ideas, inspiring each other. I was inspired. HoC should never have been an imitaUon or a personally moUvated project. It should be

universal.

Now, HoC has adapted Stanton’s brilliant idea to the lifestyle in Cambridge. We host events, raise funds and schedule interviews with some of the

world’s finest minds. I’m not going to wait for the day I walk past Stephen Hawking in King’s Parade. It might never happen.

2014-2015




2014 - 2015

In the 2014 -‐ 2015 academic year, we’ve planned a Photo booth and a Fashion Show photo shoot, both of which will help our society grow.

a. The Freshers’ Fair Photo Booth

The 2014 October Freshers’ Fair is going to be another great opportunity to reach out to more parts of Cambridge as HoC.

We plan to set up a selfie booth at the fair, where we let people take selfies using a camera provided in exchange for an anecdote or quote. The

booth is free and selected photos will be posted on our Facebook Page, unless the subjects do not want to disclose their photo to the public.

15




b. The Cambridge University Fashion Show Photo Shoot (Feb 2015)

We are very lucky to be able to get involved in the University’s first ever Charity Fashion Show. For this project, we have recruited some of the best

student photographers including the President of the University Photography Society(Phocus). Details are pending.

one-‐off basis, with the choice of staying on or leaving.
