JEEcamp , the online journalism enterprise and experimentation event, is offering five free passes to Journalism.co.uk readers who are currently out of work as journalists.

The event organised by Birmingham City University lecturer Paul Bradshaw is an 'unconference', which means attendees can set the agenda by contributing to a group wiki .

Topics already up for discussion include 'setting up on your own and getting funding' and managing an online community.

There will be speed networking sessions and an 'open mic' on business models for news, where all attendees will be allowed to contribute.

"The focus is on providing the space and time for those with valuable experience and ideas - attendees - to talk to peers," an event brief details .

"Attendees might have launched their own journalism project - or worked on one within a mainstream organisation. Or they might just have lots of great ideas, or knowledge about the area."

JEEcamp will be held on May 8 at The Gatehouse in Digbeth .

To apply for a concessionary ticket email John Thompson at Journalism.co.uk .

Tickets normally cost £20 (plus 50p booking fee) to cover the cost of the venue. For more details visit the booking page or the JEEcamp wiki . For full coverage visit Journalism.co.uk on May 8.
