Organization

My Dot Tour is a project of the Fields Corner Collaborative (FCC). FCC is a group of non-profit organizations concerned with touting the history and architecture of Fields Corner for increased economic development and social capital, as well as with supporting and strengthening youth leadership skills. The organizations include: the Dorchester Environmental Health Coalition, Dorchester Historical Society, Fields Corner Main Street, Historic Boston Incorporated, and SCI Dorchester/Dotwell. The Tour’s coordinator is Kate Balug and the two interns are Alex Olivier and Eric Saindon. The open source technical components are being developed in collaboration with and support from MIT’s Center for Future Civic Media.

My Dot Tour 2011 is a new and improved version of the tour that will emphasize residents’ contributions regarding the past, present, and future of Fields Corner and will feature expanded methods of disseminating tour content through place markers, cell phone technology and other media.
