Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
In 2006, Johannes Allesch and his girlfriend came back from an informed consent explanation for a complicated, major surgery. Although the doctor took his time and explained the surgery in great detail, the given explanation was just not informative enough. Right after this incident, Johannes decided to dedicate his education as a 3D-artist to medical explanation procedures. AniMedical was born.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
The AniMedes-App for mobile devices replaces outdated paper based informed consent methods by using short 3D-Animation movies. Our movies explain interventional procedures in a schematic and easily understandable way, but they are medically correct and detailed. The movies and the corresponding app are available in different languages, thus giving doctors the security that their patients really understand the procedure, even if they speak another language.
The additional utilization of a short animated film can facilitate informed consent explanations, save time and induce a clearer understanding of medical procedures with health care amateurs. This is key to patients coping with their sickness and their compliance with their chosen treatment options. The utilization of digital informed consent software can and facilitate talks between doctors and patients the overall administrative process and provide additional legal security for all participants.
Our app can completely replace the paper based informed consent in hospitals, while providing more security and information, saving time and resources. This is why AniMedes also features questionnaires about possible risks and the patient's own questions. However, the app was neither designed to replace the direct conversation between doctors and patients, nor is this a desirable effect anytime in the future. The integrated, digital approach of AniMedes uses the latest trends from tablet technologies and informational media to ensure an innovative, unprecedented product for healthcare purposes.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
The specialty of AniMedes is the focus we put on 3D-animations as an information source. AniMedical is an animation studio that focuses on medical content. While others also have that focus, the majority of patient education media is produced by conservative print publishers. Animation studios mostly work as subcontractors, with focus on doctor-centered solutions, or they don’t specialize in medicine at all. Looking at existing patient education software, most solutions are digital versions of the paper based forms that allow for no innovative, user-friendly interaction. The possibilities of modern touchpad technologies are simply omitted and ignored. AniMedes is the first app to combine validated 3D-movies with interactive questionnaires on tablet computers for both, doctors and patients.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
AniMedical and teamworx media management run the AniMedes project together, each providing their unique networks and skills of marketing, media, animation and software development. Our combination of designers, programmers, marketing specialists, and a large advisory group of doctors form a highly flexible network of skillful employees and external specialists. This allows us to develop the app fast and highly adapted to respective workloads. We keep close contact with universities to recruit well trained specialists early on. All media is created with doctors and major hospital care providers. AniMedes is getting certified, tested and cleared for hospital use, so doctors can rely on security and legal validation of any information that the app delivers to their patients.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Since AniMedes is an app on digital devices, it is subject to constant change. This means that it is of the utmost importance to always keep the product up to date and fresh, not least because the medical data needs to be accurate at all times. AniMedes is updated continually in constant collaboration with leading medical experts and according to medical guidelines.
Furthermore, the included movies and 3D-animations as well as text contents of the app are being varied to customary standards and legal requirements of each clinic or country the app is sold to. To keep the product at the cutting edge of innovation, the company will be present with branch offices at innovation/university hotspots in Austria and Germany.

Medical patient education has come to a deadlock through the extensive use of standardized methods. Officially, verbal informed consent explanations between physicians and patients are the fundament of patient information. Educational pamphlets add information with texts and pictures. In practice, these pamphlets consist of way more information on risks and side effects than on the actual treatment, therefore also being called "waivers".
Complex medical content cannot be conveyed comprehensibly by using outdated methods. Medical texts are hard to read, while increasing numbers of illiterate people will pose a big problem to doctors in the future. At the same time, doctors increasingly less time per patient. Additionally, lawsuits are increasingly expensive for primary care providers.

AniMedes is a completely digital system that is able to handle the complete process of informing patients prior to their surgery, including the informed consent signature. It presents information using short movies and 3D-animations. It features questionnaires with the patient's most commonly asked questions and can admin a patient's anamnesis. It displays everything the patient saw and submitted for the doctor, providing a coherent frame of issues or dangers that concern the patient, hence providing a good outline for their personal talk. The app logs and stores all the information typed in automatically, everything can be easily commented on by the attending doctor. This saves valuable time in the conversation that would normally be needed for excessive handwritten documentation.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
The ultimate goal for AniMedes is to completely substitute all standardized paper pamphlets that are being used by almost all hospitals around the world. Every patient education procedure can be improved by using modern tools. Our approach is designed to be scalable, so that in the future, most surgeries and major treatments will have an according movie to explain them to patients in multiple languages. This is a systematic improvement to the quality of the informed consent explanations, a large step towards improved legal security for both medical personnel and patients. It is a role model application for realigning an outdated system and adapting it for the digital future of medicine.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Using animated movies and software on mobile touchpads to explain complex medical issues to patients offers multiple benefits.
A lot of time can be saved due to the automatic documentation of every information that goes out to, or comes back from the patients. Doctors would normally need this time to manually document their discussions with their patients. It improves the legal security of the whole patient education process. Saving the finished documentation digitally saves space and resources. The app delivers audiovisual information in any language, so every patient has a chance to understand their treatment and to actively contribute to a better outcome. Digital patient education also offers a constant data source for improvement of quality, effectivity and a minimization of mistakes.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Relevant customers are mainly hospitals and private clinics, respectively hospital operators as well as general practitioners and specialists. In countries with healthcare systems that are largely funded by state or regional governments, these political bodies have a high influence on the decision making process within hospitals and need to be addressed as possible clients as well. Private clinics and smaller hospital groups often have a special interest in being very technologically advanced and have more compact decision-making structures. This makes them a more ideal and easier approachable customer for the product, while large hospital operators, have a demand for much higher quantities and therefore provide more scalable sales possibilities.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Regarding clients such as hospitals, hospital operators, private clinics, general practitioners and specialists, AniMedes will be sold using a direct marketing approach. Hospitals can be covered easiest by signing long-term service contracts with their operating companies and the regional governments that fund them. Other doctors as well as the private sector will be covered by attending medical conventions and by addressing medical associations. Reaching customers for AniMedes is not as hard as convincing them to change a system that has widely been accepted as a standard over the last few decades. This is why every movie pack sold within AniMedes will be cleared by leading physicians and in the best case scenario be approved by nationwide medical associations and the health ministry.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
AniMedicals primary activities as inventor of the app are to represent the product in front of customers and connect with key decision makers.
Other activities: development of the product, programming and design, text and media creation. This includes producing 3D-animations and legal texts, as well as translations and sound recording in various languages. Also, AniMedical creates and maintains the overall product design with website, logos, advertisements, folders and flyers. The responsibilities of teamworx media management are to promote the app via public relations, find and cultivate new customers and stake holders and to sell and distribute the product, which is a task they are well fit to accomplish due to their vast network within hospital organizations and medical officials.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
In Europe, the Thieme corporation, a medical publisher, is the main competitor.
Thieme currently produces almost all informed consent forms on paper, used by doctors in our target countries, therefore being the current "gold standard". However, their digital product line is lacking larger amounts of provided informational movies and 3D-animations.
Thieme already has all the customer relationships that AniMedes needs to start up. It is a larger competitor and can react to almost any competitors by simply outbuying/underbidding them.
Once AniMedes is on the open market, the app could be imitated or competitors could denounce the app for technical reasons. This is the reason why AniMedes needs to be spotless regarding legal conformity, data security, certification and standardization.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
AniMedical and teamworx media management combined are not very large companies. Financing and developing the app is a task that needs to be backed up by other sources of revenue from both companies. The smaller the company, the harder it also is to develop a notable market presence that is sustainable. Additionally, many decision makers in healthcare did not grow up with mobile applications and therefore have a natural tendency to distrust digital products. This challenge pairs well with the general precarious situation of computer programs that deal with patient data, as many examples of computerization in healthcare have shown lately. Most of these challenges can be overcome by strategically growing the business without overstretching it, and by responsible product development.

What started as a little project to bring some new form of media into patient education became increasingly bigger over the last two years. At one point, just adding an additional tool to the doctors portfolio in form of providing them with a movie, was not enough. The movies alone could not substitute any existing part of the informed consent explanations. With creating the AniMedes-app, AniMedical has taken a huge step towards professionalization and the creation of a well-rounded product that really makes things easier in every day clinical life.
Over the last few months, we have started a larger scale discussion among our partnering hospitals, the Austrian government, the Austrian patient advocacy and most of the major government supported hospital operators, about the current state of patient education. This discussion was very successful and will undoubtedly lead to a series of innovation projects and hopefully to an improvement of the situation of patients in hospitals in the long run. Some of our movies have already been tested in clinical situations in a private clinic as well as a general hospital in Salzburg. Both test runs have shown that patients accepted the new media very well and actually enjoyed this part of their hospitalization. Although AniMedes needs to be thoroughly tested, the outcome of those early tests and the response by the medical community in general was overwhelmingly positive.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
AniMedes is subject of a randomized prospective patient study at the department for urology at Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg. This study is conducted by OR Dr. S. Hruby and the Chief of Medicine, Univ.-Prof. Dr. G. Janetschek. In the study, AniMedes is used to explain two surgical procedures of varying complexity to test any influence on patient education. The primary focus is the patient's knowledge and comprehension of the upcoming surgery, secondary points of interest are the patient's fear and satisfaction with the system, as well as secondary effects for the hospital, like time and effort needed to run the app in a clinic. The study will start in May and run for six months. First results are expected as soon as August, due to the frequency of the less complex surgery.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
AniMedes is principally adaptable for any language, country, medical and legal demands. 2D-movies can depict any surgery or treatment that people can visualize in their own thoughts, so there is basically no limit to what can be shown or explained using an 3D-animation. The app can be implemented a lot easier in countries where the medical standards are high on average, because it massively benefits from existing infrastructure such as wireless networks, internet and docking stations or tablet computers that are already being used. The technical requirements make it logical, that the most important markets for AniMedes are Europe, the Middle East (especially the UAE), North America, Japan and Australia, followed by China, Russia, Southern America and African countries.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Since AniMedes is a fairly new product that has not proven itself in the "real world", it is hard to project the possible impact it will make on the market. First tests have shown great potential in the concept and our extensive test runs of the app in 2013 will deliver the data needed to create a great product. Over the last few months, we have dedicated a lot of our time to finding clinics in Austria and Germany that eagerly accepted our offer to test the app in 2013. Our best case estimate of a possible market coverage projects a possible home market share (Austria and Germany) of up to 30% after 5 years, given the proper resources. This means 100 clinics in Austria and 1.000 in Germany alone. This can roughly be replicated in any similarly developed country.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica detalladamente tu estrategia financiera actual
AniMedical has received substantial financial aid from 2010 to the end of 2011, by a state-funded accademic incubator and a small national funding project, to finance a very early-stage prototape of the app. Since then, all of the money spent on the app has come from the company's own financial reserves. Since 2012, the companies teamworx media management and AniMedical share costs and income on the AniMedes project. Currently, the companies are financing the development of the app through their regular income. For AniMedical, this means commissioned work from pharmaceutical companies or medical institutions. The teamworx media managment GmbH generates their revenue from selling medically relevant videos to online newspapers and medical publishers. The normal cash flow dedicated to the AniMedes project is reflected in the current annual budget and currently reaches about USD 50.000,- per year.
AniMedes will also be submitted to various forms of external beneficiary financing, especially nationwide funding initiatives by the Austrian government as well as local (state) economy funds.
Additionally, AniMedes was submitted to various partnership programs by leading hardware/software companies. Those companies offer financial support and partnering strategies that will leviate the costs of product development for AniMedical enormously. Currently, there is an ongoing enquiry for AniMedes at Microsoft Austria and Western Europe, to fully fund the migration of AniMedes to Windows8 software and hardware combinations.

AniMedes is sold as a service that includes initial installing, updates and maintenance. Customers will pay for the service and the provided movies in yearly licenses, prices increase by the number of licensed movies and tablet-PCs. The movies will only be available in packages of at least 5 movies, those packages are created according to medical specialties. Apps can be updated over the internet, which ensures that customers always have the latest version and AniMedes can provide location-independent maintenance and update service. Due to the license-based system and the language-independency, the business model is extremely scalable and easily transferable to new markets.The licenses will add up and enable AniMedical to develop the product using a steady and predictable cash flow.

Estrategias filantrópicas que estás utilizando
Estrategia diversificada.
Explica tu enfoque filantrópico con más detalle
Austria and Germany offer many ways to bring in funds from philantropic sources, as well as state or nationwide competitions and government fundings.
We will submit AniMedes to various funding programs by initiatives such as the Austria Wirtschaftsservice (Austrian Economy Service) and the Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (Association for Research Funding). In addition to programs that support the development of the product itself, there are some initiatives that support the export of products to different markets, such as the ITG (Innovation and Technology Transfer Association Salzburg).
Depending on the success of our appeals, the estimated income from such sources ranges from EUR 10.000,- to EUR 70.000,-.
Amplia tu selección; explica cómo mantendrás el financiamiento dentro de los próximos 1 a 3 años.
Since AniMedes will be sold using a licencing fee model, no clinic will have to pay for the full production costs of the 3D-animations or the app and AniMedical can sell to any number of clients. The current system of paper pamphlets works just the same way: Clinics pay an annual fee to gain rights to use and print the paper pamphlets used in patient education. Our strategy works just the same. The current projected cost of a fully functional product with 2 tablets, about 7 movies that represent the majority of the concerning medical speciality, and technical support is about USD 7.000,- per year. These costs can be varied according to clinic and order size. These fees add up, while the steady cash flow enables AniMedical to update and perpetually improve the software.
Until the point is reached where this steady income exceeds expenses and product development costs, the current strategy consists of the aforementioned funding strategies: Own cash flow from commissioned work outside of the AniMedes project, cooperations with and funding by external partners and government funds, which mostly run for durations of over a year in any case.
Another strategy involves the cooperation with pharmaceutical partners that could have a strong interest in the app as a showcase tool for marketing purposes or sales staff. The app therefore also acts as a use-case for pharmaceutical marketing, which can create further revenue for AniMedical in the future.
We are deeply committed to helping create a new form of capitalism in America. One that smooths the rough edges and helps to create a society where work as a calling to elevate humanity is rewarded. Rewarded with financial success, healthier communities, a growing middle class, a protected environment and a thriving economy for all. We hope you'll join us!

To understand how a bystander can enable or reduce bullying behavior.
3.
To encourage those who might be reticent to stand up to do so when confronted by bullying.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have only piloted the game in three schools but in those pilots we found that the game produced exceptionally deep and candid discussions among the students. Within the context of the game students were more willing to express their own experiences and share with the group. Also, boys were motivated to advise the girls and vice versa about what to do to a) deal with the immediate problem and b) how trying to succeed may negatively impact on another.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
After receiving professional support from American Express we hope to have the game in use throughout Canada and the United States. We want to develop a revenue model that enables all schools to participate while returning the cost of our investment.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
The objective is primarily to promote artisans, technicians (skilled workers) through publicity and training. The web database on-line directory is designed to advertise and create links to all categories of skills and the individuals practising this profession for easy patronage and evaluation.
The training programme is targeted towards improving customer care attitude, service packaging and personal relationship between technicians, artisan and the vast clientèle engaging their service through the on-line organization. This will help to facilitate better relationship, trust, confidence and by extension attracting more apprenticeship.
It has become almost a generational curse in Nigeria that persons practising these skills are under rated and lacks on-going support
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
We are creating the enabling platform that will make this informal sector to thrive in-other to attract more youth entrepreneurship. To that end, our top three priorities in the next year
- To have conducted training for an upward of 10,000 artisans enlisted on our on-line directory(www.techniciansonline.org)
- To have assisted upward of 10,000 artisans gain access to Pension Scheme, Mortgage Scheme etc
- To have assisted upward of 2,000 including hearing impaired once to acquire skills in various technical acquisition sector we are promoting.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Though with several limitation including financial constraint, we have succeed in enlisting over 400 artisans on our directory, we have also assisted upward of 30 artisans to access the Federal Mortgage National Housing Scheme that is beyond the reach of grass-root self employ worker even though the law of the country makes provision for them to participate in. We have encourage over 20 artisans to duly register their business name in accordance with the cooperate affairs commission to position them for better business patronage.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
In our commitment and drive to impart positively in the lives of players of the Nigerian informal sector. Our goal is to repackage these individuals thereby making attractive their individual skills and capability, positioning them favourably for better business patronage and interest attraction for apprenticeship. With your support we would succeed in reversing the generation plague affecting this sector thereby creating the level playing ground for many teaming Nigeria youth in search for white-collar jobs to learn, practice these handy-skills and become gainfully employed.

¿Qué te hace un intraemprendedor? Cuáles son las habilidades, capacidades y rasgos personales que te hacen un intraemprendedor?
I have a deep belief that that the world can be better place for those who are inflicted with medical conditions - and that I can be part of the solution in a small way. Specifically, I feel that there is a need to connect the community of which I'm a part (the pharma/biopharma community) to those for which we make our products.
I draw on an extended network of people both internal and external to GSK for ideas, inspiration, and support. They share this same belief, and are also the kind of people who know

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
Today, the further upstream of the supply chain we sit within GSK, the smaller the connection to our patients we have. By having limited visibility of our patients, we not only lose sight of their needs and desires, we also
a. remain uneducated / uninformed about the everyday challenges and triumphs of our patients
b. lose sight of what our true purpose is in this area of our lives.
c. don't have the opportunity to build trust with our patients, beyond just letting our products speak for themselves.
This is a significant undesirable effect that does not adequately prepare our company for a future in which each of us can directly see the impact that our specific job function, within the context of our supply chain, has on our patients.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
A societal shift within GSK needs to occur, where 'Focus on the Patient' should change from being a vision to being a tangible thing. By having an innovative and fun way to connect with the patient, we can start to link our every day tasks and projects to the 'big picture'.
My aim is to bring GSK's employees and patients together with a unique approach - photography. This is the means to exhibit the dignity of our patients, and the realities they face every day living with the disease they have been diagnosed with. It is also a way to literally bring visibility of our patients to the people who work across our supply chain.
Specifically, my proposal is to give a group of patients a camera for a few months, and ask them to document their lives.
Scope of project:
Duration: 3 months of documenting on camera
Patient group: Type 1/Type 2 Diabetes
Location: Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
GSK Employees directly involved: R&D/GMS Biopharmaceuticals in Upper Merion GSK
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
To my knowledge, we have yet to launch a project like this within GSK that brings our employees closer to our patients in a way that is visual, emotional, and close to home.
I also believe that the industry as a whole can adopt this model - I'm focusing on Diabetes, since the product we are seeking approval for next year treats this disease. However, the same can be done for any person living with any disease.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
- Open to contestants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. They do not need to currently be taking any GSK medications.
- Contest open from the time period of 3 months.
- Judged by a panel of photographers (mix of people who work at GSK and external) and announce winners.
- Semi-finalists will get to showcase their work at GSK Biopharm's internal tiered meetings or staff meetings.
- Finalists - will get to showcase 1 of their favorite photos at an event. (such as the annual Step Out Philly Walk for Diabetes in October),
- Overall contest winner - will get to showcase 2-5 photos at an event (such as the annual Step Out Philly Walk for Diabetes), and will get to speak. Will also get their photographs auctioned off to raise money for Diabetes research. They will also be invited to speak at GSK to employees.
- All others who entered - will have a chance to connect with each other through social media. (Facebook and/or webpage to be created where contest entrants can build a support group - online or even in person), and also get involved with other offshoot opportunities (examples described below).
The idea is that through PDCA, this contest would run annually for patients, w/ continuous improvement.
This format allows for participation from both patient and employee, keeping the patient's life on the forefront of employee's minds and building relationships that help the employee keep the patient at the heart of every decision made at work. It also increases the support network of people living with the disease - thereby strengthening relationships with each other.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
I have done several web searches and I haven't been able to find a similar program within a pharmaceutical corporation such as GSK. The American Diabetes Association offers a place on their webpage for patients to upload photos depicting a 'day in the life of' living with Diabetes. This is done in conjunction with CVS, where a $1 donation will be made by CVS for each photo uploaded.
The challenge this could pose to See Me! would be around redundancy. Diabetes patients who participate in the ADA / CVS photo upload program may not be inclined to participate in something similar on a local level with GSK.
What differentiates my proposal though is that fact that See Me! is not intended to be used to raise charitable funds. Its purpose is to drive connections between patients and employees.

I first got this idea about a month ago when I started to think of ways to bring the focus of our value stream / supply chain on to our customer (our patients). As an amateur photographer, I often scour the internet looking for powerful images from other photographers from which I can draw inspiration, creativity, and knowledge of the world. In doing so, I've often come across powerful images from various photographers, showing the life of people living with various medical conditions. These images are moving; and in just one frame you can see a little snippet of someone else's life, and you instantly wish you could reach out and talk to that person. I wanted to do something similar within our own community, but instead of having professional photographers take pictures of people facing the challenges of living with a disease (in this case, Diabetes), I wanted to put the camera directly into patients hands and go from there.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date, it is still just a proposal - and it has not been implemented yet.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
I do not know if there would be any financial impact as a result of my project, however what I do see is there being a cultural shift within GSK (Biopharmaceuticals) in having a tangible way to focus on our patients. I sincerely hope that this project will inspire other similar projects around GSK that may involve activities other than photography. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, the first and foremost principle I've been trained on is identifying value through the eyes of our customers. In 1-3 years I hope having this visibility of our customers (and they having visibility of us), we can fully define what 'value' is to our customers, refine how our company should be positioned for the future, and keep them in the center of every decision we make in the organization.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
I see several barriers to this project. A couple that I will list are the following:
- Logistics on carrying this out - resources, funding, time, planning
- Change Management - even if the contest is a success, how will employees respond to having this discussions around our patient? How will they make a personal commitment to focus on our patients?

The specific benefit that this project will create is to put the patient at the heart of every decision that is made on the job. This is sometimes an intangible benefit, however it is an important one as it underlies everything we do as a company.
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
Funds: To be decided
Time: This project will be one that fits into the current ‘Focus on the Patient’ initiative within our company. All projects associated with that are completed by dedicated people who carve our time in their busy schedules, and will be vetted by management before doing so.
Knowledge: For photography skills, there are several hobby photographers within the Biopharmaceutical divisions of GSK who are passionate about keeping the focus on our patients.

As the whistleblower for the biggest corporate disaster in South African history, I have spent the last 11 years firstly seeking justice followed by developing strategies to encourage others to ignite their moral courage + to speak out in the face of wrongdoing. My battle has been for what's 'right'. It's been an exposure of much of what is 'wrong' in the world. It's about Truth or Dare or rather 'Daring to tell the truth',
The existing situation is that individuals that have the moral courage to speakout or blow the whistle are sullied by their actions and they are therefore marginalised by society. Speaking out against social ills needs to gain enough workability and support so that it clearly becomes the new framework, the new consensus. Humanity is my business. Make it yours.

Inicio (iniciativa piloto que acaba de empezar a ponerse en práctica)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
With crippling corruption, greed and fear in the world there is a need in society to encourage the heroism in speaking out against wrongdoing. The existing situation is that individuals that have the moral courage to speakout or blow the whistle are sullied by their actions and they are therefore marginalised by society.
Speaking out against social ills needs to gain enough workability and support so that it clearly becomes the new framework, the new consensus. This can be achieved through the creation of new pathways and tools - from new stories and ways of looking at things to new institutions.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution is to engage with public policy makers, social marketers and behavioural experts to transform the 'whistleblower brand'. Although this has been done successfully in the past in changing people's smoking habits through awareness and encouraging condom use for Aids prevention, I believe this is innovative in that the current issues regarding speaking out to halt social ills will not be altered by doing the same thing 'harder'. Policy makers have also failed in the provisions to protect and encourage whistleblowing. In recognition that the internal conformist is a stronger driver than the inner activist the aim is to create a tipping point whereby speaking out becomes a social norm rather than a personal idiosyncrasy.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Most training and education in the ethics arena pivots around legislation and ensuring compliance to rules. My solution is to understand the social psychology behind human behaviour in order to create awareness and ignition to change. Change will be effected through both understanding in addition to social marketing.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
Blowing the whistle on theft, fraud, corruption halts the erosion of funds, often public and this in turn will ensure that funds reach their intended target for the benefit of all. Additionally, speaking out against environmental ill intent, medical harm, child and sexual abuse, caring abuses will prevent needless deaths, harm and abuse.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
I am not aware of competitors. I have many peer groups who support my desire to effect change but who do not have my own very personal experience of walking the 'moral gangplank' that fuels my passion and determination.

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
Each citizen to have basic living needs (i.e. Food, Shelter and Education). Being developing nation and powerful country still India has many citizens in lower poverty region and still not attaining basic living needs. Using this 'One Penny per Citizen', we can provide basic living needs to each under poverty citizen to live happily as they are also brothers/sisters in a way.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In each sector like Bank/Post Office, citizen can sign an agreement (using configurable paramter at account level) to deduct one penny (i.e. one rupee in India curency) at a defined frequency (say Daily/Monthly/Bi-Monthly etc.,) and credit to a non-profit trust account (which will need to created/maintained by new/existing NPO and not goverment). From which a leader can pick a low poverty citizen in his/her state/city/street-end to provide basic living needs.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
This can be introduced at country/industry/territory level based on the resources/volunteers available. This can be introduced as a CSR (Corporate Social Responsbility) in company where as a company we can say that 'Organization is - Here for Good' and proving to serve country.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
This idea will help to realize that each citizen in world belongs to each other having unity in diversity regardless of countries race/religion brining peace among people.
Each citizen had helped his brother/sister life improvement providing little money which brings life to other soul.
If it is taken as company initiative (CSR), then the level of reaching people with its marketing/technology is quick and vast which will help poor people to live happy and gain prosperity.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There is no peers and competitors as adopting this approach to each people/company will help to gain another citizen in earth.
Threat/challenges is the money should be controlled/maintained in right hands and to be served to correct poor citizen who is in need and imagining to lead the world like an Abraham lincoln, Bill Gates, Einstein etc., People should be aware on what had happened to there individual penny showing consolidated statement explaining that a lump amount served to needy providing education/food/shelter etc.,

Few drops of rain make big ocean at end when joins. In same way little help to our own brothers/sisters in world will provide unity and bring peace in our mother earth. We all belong to one mother who is mother earth where by dividing barriers across country/religion and so on. But having together one vission or mission to help needy and under-priviliged people will bring peace and also bring joy in others.
I helped a needy poor boy by giving one penny (i.e. One Indian Rupee in India currency) helping to buy chocklate once he was crying to his blind mother to get one chocklate. After which, i used to give him same one rupee to him daily for satisfying his chocklate taste, but that god`s gifted child had saved that penny for 3 months and bought a new saree to her mother who wore tored saree. This helping little boy opened my mind to think what will happen when each citizen gives one penny (on his convenience) helping his/her own brother/sister in this world.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Till date, i tried to buy and provide food packets or collect used dress from outsiders and share to the needy people when i get my free time. Low sided Poor People in India/Africa country, they are awaiting for help to satisfy there living needs and even they search garbages to have there one day food/meal. By having this idea, this people can atleast solve there basic needs and have a full day meal. we can try to introduce various innovations with this 'One Penny' helping the needy ones.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
Countries like India/Africa/China where poorer people gets more poorer can be improvized and help them to lead normal life by providing one penny per citizen. Each citizen can donate one penny as per his/her convenience and frequency. But each will add and go the needy ones.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Planning and Leadership is more impotant than anything since right leader who wish to serve people should guide this initiative as each penny belongs to individual citizen. Proper maintenance of electronic books in common to be created based on the project establishment and recordings in transparency of citizen needs to be done and provided.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál es el beneficio o valor que estás generando para el/los negocio/s?
When introduced via my company (Standard Chartered Bank) which already serves people and aims at 'Here for Good', it is very easy to benefit and bank can lead its business proving that as a bank it also helps each citizen who are in need to improve there daily life like serving to a high individual clients.
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
Our world future is dependent of young emerging leaders and hence this initiative should be brought and build with each team having one yongster and one elder (who can provide guidance on his experience).

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Our solution is Car Free Day (CFD). CFD is large scale street closures for community festivals that brings neighbours, arts and local business together in celebration by reclaiming car dominated streets with public space. Started at Commercial Drive in Vancouver in 2005, now includes Main St, West End and Kitsilano. In 2012, over 250,000 people of all ages and backgrounds came out in car free fun. People respond to CFD because the festival comes to life by hundreds of volunteers who give their talents and desire to connect on the street, free of traffic. Canadian society needs to change our attitudes towards fossil fuel dependence, and experiencing a fun day without a car is the first step towards changing this.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our global dependence on fossil fuels cannot be sustained and our communities need to change our behaviours towards the use of single occupant cars. CFD provides a venue for people throughout Vancouver to experience their communities without cars on a fun and inclusive day in the very streets that are normally dominated with cars. The result is that people of all ages have a new experience which, for some, has a positive environmental and social influence on their behaviours towards cars by taking a day to experience accessing their communities using alternative transportation. Car Free Vancouver Society’s solution to community engagement and environment is to continue to support Car Free Day by working with local communities to reclaim the streets to build healthy communities while advocating for the reduced use of cars.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Car Free Vancouver Society closes main thoroughfares to host Car Free Day in Vancouver on the third Sunday of June each year , invites the community to fill the streets with art, music, performance, food, friends and neighbours to discover their community without cars. Car Free Day is different from other street festivals because we partner with the community and local organizations for support and resources. The focus is on supporting communities to reclaim their streets resulting in healthier neighbourhoods through social connections and discovering transporation alternatives. CFD attendees are a part of the celebration, not a spectator, because there is something for everyone. By continuing to expand the number of neighbourhoods, we will reduce the likelihood that people will drive to a festival site. We will continue with our existing festival locations to meet the expectations of local residents and businesses, non-profits, and artisans who have come to count on CFD as a fun way to come together as a community to the kick off to the summer season. Our volunteers love delivering our neighbourhood notices because the response is positive and many children express their excitement by telling us this is their favorite day of the year. It is this type of response that have our volunteers return year after year because it is our children's generation that will have to find an alternative to fossil fuels in our daily travels. Car Free Vancouver Society is grateful to help provide a positive experience that will influence future behaviours towards car usage.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
There are many small, community festivals run on similar principals as ours but most have large corporate signature sponsors or are top down organized by the city. CFD is unique because it is 100% volunteer run and organized. There is a strong community response to CFD because the festival is brought to life by hundreds of volunteers who give their time, talents, and desire to connect in the street, free of traffic. The streets are filled with music, dance, art, food, not-for-profits, local business and most importantly neighbours and friends. CFD attendees are engaged participants, not spectators like other festivals, because there is something for everyone. Illuminares is the closest to our festival as they are primarily volunteer based but they have paid staff, we don't.

Matt and Carmen, the founders of Car Free Day could see the problem of increased car traffic coming into Vancouver was leading to more confgested, dangerous and disconnected communities and started to question who the streets are for, people or cars. In 2005 the community came together in response to the Gateway Project (massive highway upgrade east of Vancouver) by reclaiming Commercial Dr from cars. Neighbours came together on Father's Day for a street hockey game and closed Commercial Drive to traffic. In this first year, the community responded to this creation of public space and over 20,000 people come out to fill the street with free festival fun using the motto less cars = more community. The spirit of CFD grew after that first closure and Main St, West End, and Kitsilano joined by hosting street closures in these neighbourhoods. In 2012, it is estimated that over 250,000 people of all ages and backgrounds came out in these neighbourhoods in car free celebration.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
CFVS has a vision of contributing to a renewed community culture through reclaiming public spaces, sharing local knowledge and resources while advocating for better environmental policy. We believe the CFD festival creates an opportunity to experience our communities without cars. We give one day a year, as an example to all, on what local living without cars can mean to our communities. In doing so this helps to positively influence our culture, in a small part, to reverse the trends of social isolaiton and environmental change.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
CFD has moved from one neighbourhood to four with more than 250,000 people coming out o CFD in 2012. CFVS helped found the City of Vancouver's Summer Spaces initiative which has evolved into Viva Vancouver. We have held 25 festivals to date with no major incidents, including 4 Car Free Day festivals 4 days after the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot. Additionally, we have helped communities run festivals in Comox, North Vancouver and Halifax. We are an outlet for local artisans, non-profits, artist collectives, performers, local business and many others to show their work in the community. Communities eagerly anticipate our street closures and festivals and when the first notices are delivered, the CFD vibe in the neighbourhoods is reignited. We receive many emails and social media posts of appreciation and supporting our efforts to continue to bring CFD to the streets.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
To continue to develop CFD celebrations in new communities around the metro-Vancouver region and well as responding to requests for support nationally. We expect to add 1 new site for each of the next five years. We will continue with the same volunteer based model. The Board members and festival organizers strongly believe in countering citizen apathy by engaging locals through a free, fun street closures. We want to be a part of the movement of changing behavior towards fossil fuels through community artistic and cultural expression on the streets of metro-Vancouver and beyond. We will continue to provide resources to neighbourhoods wanting to start their own CFD festivals, whether block parties in residential neighbourhoods or reclaiming major streets to create car free communities.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Increasing city costs - post Stanley Cup Riot has led to greater requirements by the city to exercise their due diligence in ensuring that street closures for gatherings of people do not put the communities and participants at risk. Consequently, city services are increasing including additional policing requirements, all of these city costs are downloaded on Car Free Vancouver Society. This will be overcome by establishing strategic partnerships with local organizations for resource support.
Volunteer Burnout: As with most volunteer organizaitons, its members burnout and results in reduced volunteer retention. Volunteers are the mainstay of our organization and we will provide them with meaningful opportunities to be a part of a positive social and environmental change.

Community engagement through volunteerism. We operate in an environment where the community positively responds to CFD because the festival is brought to life by hundreds of volunteers who give their time, talents, and desire to build vibrant communities. We ignite this spirit by filling our streets music, dance, art, food, not-for-profits, local business and community members by closing streets to cars and reclaiming these streets as public space. Everyone has a great day and we get to experience local living without cars.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
In the Vancouver area we are all living in un-ceded Aboriginal territory. Both culture, and the environment are being threatened, and never before has there been a need to work together to create change, through non-violent means. The Uts’am Witness Project was born out an urgent need to protect a contested area of the Squamish Nation’s northern Territory from logging. That struggle, originally conceived of as a short term arts, culture & recreation project, to be run out of the Roundhouse Community Centre for one summer, turned into a 10 year project that involved 10,000 people, from the Squamish and other First Nations, from the general public, and even the immigrant communities of Vancouver. While the first Witness weekend faced logger’s blockades, the project successful.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Over 10 years, Uts’am Witness succeeded in saving the forests of Sims Creek (TFL-38 according to the BC gov't), and restoring the area to it’s traditional name - Nexw-áyantsut (Place of Tranformation) while enshrining it as protected forever within the unprecedented 500 year Sacred Land Use Plan created by the Squamish Nation. Now it is time to adapt and repeat the model.
The first phase of this project lasted from 1997 - 2007 and, through ceremony and dialogue, resulted in the protection of a contested area of Squamish Nation’s northern traditional territory. This time, our focus will be in online engagement and events taking place in the urban setting in Vancouver.
In the context of a new phase of Uts'am Witness this Project engages members of the Squamish Nation, the general public, artists and environmentalists in a cross-cultural dialogue around issues of Land use and protection, this time with a focus on media, story telling and collaboration.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
We want to upgrade our website to include a story gathering and events feature allowing us to re-engage the community involved in Witness over the decade that it was active, as well as to new people. We will combine this with active networking and co-linking with all the many projects Witness inspired so that the website, and social media offshoots become a dialogue hub over these important issues.
All this will be part of the build up to the launch of our book launch in June, when ‘Picturing Transformation Nexw-áyantsut - Uts’am Witness Stories’ - a gorgeous art-quality coffee table book that tells the photographic story of 10,000 citizens working together over 10 years in love, creativity and activism to save a beloved part of the Squamish Nation traditional Territory (Nexw-áyantsut) from logging, is published by Douglas & McIntyre.
In tandem with this, we will be exhibiting both the photographic artwork, and the final carving by Aaron Nelson-Moody in his "Cedar Woman' series. The previous three are placed on the land, this one will be gifted to the Vancouver area.
As the original project proved, the concept travels well, and has the potential to expand beyond even our current modest vision, if it captures the hearts and imagination of people in the lower mainland.
There will be public Witness Ceremonies marking key moments in this new phase, and the carving of this final 'house post' style carving will take place where it can be viewed publicly, contributing to more opportunities for dialogue.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
All across Canada we have been witnessing groups of citizens, First Nations, and artists forming alliances in the face of the issues raised by Kinder Morgan and Enbridge and engaging in ceremony, in dialogue and in protest to protect their indigenous culture and rights and traditional land. Our project is one more way of creating solidarities, through re-engaging with the communities and processes that found a peaceful resolution to the "war in the woods" during the decade of The Uts'am Witness Project, and to use our own book pre-sale and fundraising process to help groups with a similar stake in the issues.

Our book to be published in 2013 tells the long story in images & text of the inspiring journey that was the Witness Project from perspective of the founders and early organizers. To encapsulate, it is with the artwork "Breach of Protocol" that the origin story of Uts'am Witness took place. In 1995 the legendary mountaineer John Clarke, and artist Nancy Bleck were convinced that the only way to save 'Tree Farm License 38', one of the last intact watersheds in BC from logging, was by giving urban people an experience of wilderness. When they happened to meet Chief Bill Williams, watchkeeper over his Nation's northern territory on the Sandbar at Sim's creek, Nancy knew, this was a moment to ask, not tell. She asked his permission to be there. He replied that he supported what they were doing, but the protocol had already been breached, they had all travelled along the logging road to get to this place.
Their conversation started this collaboration. That is the power of story telling.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
We would like to keep our upcoming book accessible to all, while printing it in Canada and using fairer trade practices to distribute it. We would like to use the build up and promotion of the book to engage audiences around the issues within it, as well as to develop a sustainable revenue base to hold ongoing public Witness events in the lower mainland. The ultimate goals of the book, of the project, is to encourage dialogue and to show models of cross cultural collaboration. The stories that emerge can change the world.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
In 1997 Witness took place in 'Tree Farm License 38' (according to the government) and was named ‘the Randy Stoltmann Wilderness Area’ by eco-activists who identified is as the next key battleground in what was then being described as BC’s “war in the woods.”
In the end, after a decade-long peaceful process, of community engagement, art, and through ceremony, this last intact watershed in Squamish Nation Traditional territory was protected as part of the Squamish Nation's precedent-setting 500 year Sacred Land-Use Plan, which was formally recognized by the BC Government in 2005, and which set the precedent for many nations in BC to create their own plans. The Squamish Nation bought the Tree Farm License, manages sustainable logging in some parts of their territory, and Sims Creek where Uts’am took place was returned to it's traditional Squamish Name, Nexw-ayanstut, which means ‘Place of Transformation,’ designated as permanently protected sacred place, never to be logged.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
We believe that in the build up to the Book launch (June 2013), we can re-engage thousands of people through outreach and social media, with the web re-build, and with the launch events (Exhibition, Carving and public Witness Ceremonies) we can reach thousands more. We don't think it's unrealistic to re-engage even more than the 10,000 participants that were part of the first phase (1997-2007) of the project in the next five years.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
For 10 years Uts'am Witness was almost entirely volunteer run. The co-founders, and over 40 volunteers each summer put in thousands of hours to ensure the project's success. Lack of funding would be our only barrier sustain a new phase of the project, to cover the ‘virutal overhead’ to bring this conversation out of the forest at Sims Creek, and into the urban setting of Vancouver and sustain it over time. One way to do this is to build a more self-managed interactive website, so that the community can participate online and new participants who were not part of the camping weekend can be part of this emerging story. This piece of the overall project will complement the public events and Witness ceremonies that will accompany new art exhibitions and the promotion of the book.

The Uts'am Witness Society is a non-profit that was formed during the Uts'am Witness Project, mostly to flow through some one-time funding for the "E-Team" which focussed on Aboriginal youth. That evolved into a permanent project, now known as the Aboriginal Youth Ambassadors run out of the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre. Hello Cool World is a communications company that focussed on alternative distribution and social cause campaigns. We are hoping to partner with previous allies, like the Western Canada Wilderness Committee to seek win-win ways to raise project revenue for campaigns.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
Our hope is that the project will resonate internationally, as we already see these alliances naturally forming in today's political climate. The book will come out at a good time. We can sell the book anywhere online in North America, and anywhere at all physically. All aspects of this are part of the solution in terms of dialogue, and even our crowd-funding is storytelling. We are hoping the artwork will be exhibited internationally and in this case we expect that we can sell books. In addition, artwork can be sold, and portions of these sales can also go to the project costs over time.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Our overhead is minimal, and mostly virtual. We may have some warehouse and shipping logistical needs that can be managed via Hello Cool World's fulfilment process for their online store. Our hope also is to re-engage key participants from the first phase of Witness to be part of the organizing team for this new phase, including successful fundraisers, and old & new volunteers. The Uts'am Witness Project was always about conversations, and we are now moving them from around the campfire at Sims Creek to the online spaces as well as the new events that will happen as the book launch rolls out. We can do as much as our resources allow, but the networking potential for movement building will likely prove as innovative, inspirational and as effective as what emerged from the past decade.

As we are currently without core funding, we can only offer co-promotion. However, once HCW have new web tools built (likely in Drupal 7) we would offer to our like-minded cohorts, and it is our intent that the Ut'sam/Witness "brand' be a tool for cross cultural networking among all those who care about our land and waterways. Our book will also be a resource to share.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Confusion on our own talent and abilities is widespread in India. School and college students are unaware of consequences of their subjects/courses and end up following popular trends. Even many working professionals face a daily dilemma regarding their work satisfaction.
Career Counselling is only prominent in the metros. And the current career counselling options are restricted to the internet and expensive one on one counselling sessions. We wish tap into not only metros but tier 2-3 cities. We wish to provide cost effective career counselling methods to attract the masses. Once we have introduced them to career counselling we wish to retain them and further build on them with various other development products.

Concept of Project Prodigy:
The exam is to held on a national level scale to attract large number of customers. The test is based of Howard Gardener's multiple Intelligence theory. The test consists of two sections the evaluative and non evaluative section. The evaluative section would tests various aptitudes of the student and this section would be used for the competition. The non evaluative section would have a personality and motivation mapping section. It would be combined with the aptitude section to generate a report. The test is scheduled to happen later this year.
we tie-up with schools across country to organize this test
Around 100,000 students would be giving our test this year
Top students would be awarded with scholarships resourced from various companies and several other incentives would be given
Why are we mixing career counselling with competition?:
Currently students especially in tier 1 and tier 2 do not realize the importance of career counseling. But they flock to competitions in large numbers.
Effectively we are creating a market for ourselves by making the people aware of the benefits through the form of a competition.

A recent survey by National Council of Applied Economic Research states- 1/3rd of the total number of students who take up science after 10th, take it up for reasons other than interest in the subjects. The education market is vast but it has been unidirectional in focusing on number of schools and colleges. The secondary education market is still vastly untapped.
We are planning to target 1 lac students with our career counseling test in the first year. We wish to attract large number of students who would be using a career counseling product for the first time. Our product would be an introduction to them (and their schools) after which we would build on them with other products.
This will change the outlook of education across India as students will make better career choices

The Founders Raghu Raaj Shekhar and Abhishek Krishna are IIT Roorkee students.
Both ended up at IIT by clearing one of the toughest exams on the planet : IIT-JEE
After coming to IIT they realised they did not want to do this but where stuck with the choices they made.
In India maximum students go for a few streams only like engineering and medical and what they really want to do is overlooked by parents and schools alike. They end up opting for something not suited for them under peer pressure.
Thining about all this, they thought this shouldnot happen to others and founded AVI EDLOGIQ Pvt Ltd and made a test called PROJECT Prodigy which would help students make better career choices based on their interest, personality and aptitude

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Billions of public and private dollars are spent on researching various public policy issues each year. However, given poor data quality and research accountability, the integrity of research is often in question. For instance, many research studies lack gender sensitivity and cultural competency. This is sometimes due to the fact that researchers are often out of touch with the people they research and don’t always have a firm understanding about their unique characteristics and needs. Due to the clout that researchers hold many citizens believe and trust in research studies, however, many citizens are not able to fully analyze research to the extent that they can be critical and informed consumers.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
I would like to create a website that allows consumers from various backgrounds and levels of knowledge to provide feedback on research studies (e.g., reports and articles), organizations, and individual researchers. The goals of the website is to increase accountability of research and allow citizens to be informed consumers of research by allowing them access to feedback on research and information on the quality of research studies and to provide researchers with constructive feedback on their research and opinions from their colleagues and others that consume their research. The website will also provide resources and tools to assist consumers on how to better understand and use research. Various criteria will be used to rate the quality of research, as appropriate (i.e., gender sensitive and cultural competence).
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias

El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
The only known current method for providing feedback on research is through the peer review process that professional journals have. Peer review journals have several issues because peer review is not always blind and since researchers tend to travel in silos reviewers may be more lenient on their peers. There is no known website that exist for consumers to provide and have access to structured feedback on research studies.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The website will allow woman and girls to provide critical feedback about research studies that are about them. Often research is done by males and therefore often lacks a female voice/perspective. The website will give females the opportunity to suggest how research studies about females can be improved and also discuss/blog about how the research can be translated in a meaningful way for them.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Projected to greatly improve the quality of research and how it impacts women and minorities by providing them with a space to provide critical feedback to the people that are researching them. Ideally this will ensure the tax payer dollars used to fund research studies are used more appropriately and with citizen participation.

Over the years I have noticed the lack of quality and integrity with some research studies and that studies often don't consider the implications of findings on certain groups (e.g., women and minorities). Thus, there is a need for more research accountability and a mechanism for people to provide feedback on research studies and for citizens to gain a better understanding about how to use research and how to interpret it correctly. A memorable example is a federal conference I attended a couple years ago where a woman presented on sex offender recidivism. Throughout her presentation she repeatedly said young Black men are more likely to reoffend but she never provided context (i.e., they have less access to adequate defense, are more likely to be arrested). I found the presentation to be culturally incompetent and unethical. Given the clout that researchers have, they have a responsibility to make sure they paint a complete and accurate picture when sharing their research findings.

I hope to partner with other organizations that promote research integrity and that have a strong web prescence and share a similar philosophy about the importance of citizenship participation in research.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
India is a fast growing economy. Yet it lags globally when it comes to entrepreneurship. This, ironically when 60% Indians have been found to possess entrepreneurial traits and express their desire of setting their own business, given an opportunity.
50% population is less than 25 and defined as ultra entrepreneurial in multiple studies, yet entrepreneurship is not a preferred career choice for most.
The country of 1.2 billion need enterprises. Currently, only 16% population own a business of which 97% employ 5 people or less.
Research shows that lack of support systems and absence of tools that help demystify perceptions of risks and failures are the two major bottle-necks to this growth.
Training infrastructure for entrepreneurs, though growing, is still poor and limited in reach.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We are www.desiretofly.in (DTF-SS), a portal that contains self-learning tools to help entrepreneurs ward off perceptions of risk and failure.
We use storytelling as our medium of delivery. Our stories come in diverse formats, besides Text format. (See image – DTF-Conceptual Framework)(visit www.desiretofly.in)
All our content is developed in backdrop of Indian socio-cultural conditions.
Further, we provide this support currently in two Indian languages: English & Hindi.(Speakers-population - 41% Hindi, English 11%)
Storytelling has been an ancient and powerful form of learning in India. Stories have the power to deliver complex and subtle messages with relative ease. It is an inclusive method for wide range of customer segments.
We use it to help Aspiring Entrepreneurs gain confidence and take the plunge.
Further, having motivated them, we also participate in their enterprise building process through our consultancy, mentoring & advisory support services - Start-up Soldier.

Ms. Shashi Shinde a retired teacher, on 27 June 2012, sent this mail after reading a 'DTF-SS' case-story on our blog:
"Story well narrated to step in for new ventures. In fact the first thought went to my son who is also planning to leave his job and venture with his own software co. I as a mother is more scared and doubtful for he will be leaving the constant incoming money and try his hand at some thing that he is not sure whether it would work or not . but has strong convictions and ready to face the tune as it comes. This story gave me a little encouragement to think like my son and have a positive attitude in his new venture."
There have been similar feedbacks from a cross-section of audience in last 8 months. Several mentors and successful entrepreneurs have found DTF-SS stories extremely interesting and relevant for aspiring entrepreneurs.
However, we also realized that creating an impression with experienced grown-ups is one thing and catching the imagination of youngsters is a ball game different altogether.
The reading (story experiencing) habits have transformed with the arrival of electronic media, internet and now smart-phones and hence we realized that we too would have to modify our approach to be relevant.
Thus though vanilla text-stories form the base of our solution-delivery, we have now incorporated other advanced and innovative methods including, audio, video, pictures, music, infographics, exercises, workshops, hot-lines and history to communicate our message, creating a bouquet of storytelling techniques.

El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
India is warming up to entrepreneurship, 92% entrepreneurs felt so in a recent survey, yet SMEs contribute only 9% to GDP. Till now work for Entrp.-dev. has been happening in niche sectors, by a few.
But the country needs to nurture opportunities that utilize India as a market, respecting its uniqueness in demand, supply & culture.
The differentiating factor for DTF-SS is that our Content touches Indian middle-class sensibilities and their problem areas. (40% population, Income group INR 0.3 - 1.7 mio)($6k-30k) (Educated, Financially self-sufficient & Ambitious.)
We take our marketing beyond big cities, into tier-II and tier-III locations. (65 mio Internet users, 16 million in Rural India)
Our Messages motivate people to do what they would love to do in life without being afraid.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
DTF-SS has been successful in impressing individuals and has now started touching groups. Our web traffic (website, blog, facebook, youtube) has been growing evenly, forming patterns and so is our ranking on Google Search.
Off-line, the consultancy services have yielded two success stories in form of two new enterprises - Aaji Care-at-Home Services LLP and MyGadgetsSecondLife. (See attached – Customer-Testament) & (http://www.desiretofly.in/start-up-soldier/)
Both the organizations are now on way to their first revenues from this month. They have extended their engagement with 'The Start-up Soldier' beyond the initial period. These entrepreneurs have benefited directly in several areas critical to start-ups including: sharpening the original idea, name-selection, planning, hiring, compliance, marketing and training. AajiCare now employs 11 people and going-to-market in one-week and MyGadgets, is launching in NUS, Singapore end-September. Lastly, 12 calls & idea to- E's HOTLINE.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
DTF-SS aims to create engaging content and supporting marketing to achieve the following in 3 years:
- Get 10 million visitors to the web-properties.
- Capture 1 million subscribers (100k, 300k & 600k-year 1,2,3)
- Address 10,000 consultancy questions (including issues like bank-finance, service tax, technology validation etc.)
- Host 1000 offline workshops/story-sessions
- Provide direct mentoring support to 100 entrepreneurs.
In 3 years time DTF-SS aims to emerge as the most trusted source of learning & support resources on entrepreneurship in India.
Our numbers currently are small, but growing consistently on each of the above benchmarks.
Next 6 months form the most crucial phase for DTF-SS - Proof-of-concept successful, now time to establish the enterprise.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
DTF-SS has to build a powerful brand equity, for industry & academic references to come by.
Further monetization over web could come as an area of challenge. Consumer behaviour over internet in India is grossly different, though consistently evolving. This will demand constant innovations and watchful eyes from our side.
We beat these barriers over next six-months by:
- Reaching our end-customers directly and touching their pain-points.
- Creating PULL-force for our brand through relevant messaging over social media, on/offline forums and word-of-mouth publicity.
- Tapping into people TRULY-IN-NEED and building success-stories like AajiCare & MyGadgetsSecondLife.
- Developing brand-ambassadors through off-line interactions including workshops, story-sessions, etc.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
The founder is a writer and has worked with start-ups for 17 years. The original thought was of writing case-studies for B-Schools. (100 case-studies).(Nov-Apr)
Though, publishers found the idea interesting, but did not commit. Probably, Entrepreneurship is still an evolving area for most B-Schools.
But since lack of learning-resources had hurt the founder himself, he took random feedbacks to find segment of people showing interest.
That was when founder decided to reach end-users directly. He turned the concept into STORIES; launching an e-book (Apr 12) and then as Blog (http://desiretofly-stories.blogspot.in)(A story a month-May 2012)
The blog rcvd. readers from 16 countries (60%India, 30%US) - now daily traffic. A leading entrepreneur wrote back ‘It would be worthwhile spending a lifetime in spreading these stories.’
And then, AajiCare & MyGadgets… happened, cementing founder’s belief in the idea. Aug 2012, the blog became www.desiretofly.in & the journey continues...

Initial efforts were focused towards established institutions. Subsequently focus became like-minded entrepreneurs. The results:
- Social Squared – Helping with web-site design (www.socialsquared.in)
- AajiCare – Workshop pilots (www.aajicare.in)
- MyGadgetsSecondLife – Tech-consultancy arm of DTF-SS.
For scale-up stage, DTF-SS has identified a business-mentor and an adviser on financial matters - two distinguished entrepreneurs, who have mentored the founder in the past as well. (names being withheld at this point)
The founder is now looking for creative talents to join DTF-SS.

Which of the following best describes the barrier(s) your solution addresses? Choose up to two
Acceso, Transparencia.
The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Over the past 5 years throughout British Columbia, the popularity of high density strata living has collided with the rapid adoption of web and mobile technology. The result has been an increase in demand from B.C’s 700,000 (approx.) strata residents for technology that creates community, opens communication and provides operational transparency.
B.C’s Property Management companies cannot meet the evolving technology needs of strata residents due to limited technical capabilities.
We’ve discovered that dynamics such as age, computer literacy, language, access to technology and location exist in MiCasa’s target market (B.C. strata residents). We can always do a better job of understanding the effects of these dynamics on our target market.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
MiCasa fills the gap between the technology needs of B.C strata residents and the capabilities of Property Managers.
MiCasa is a web application specifically built for strata residents. We are focused on using technology to:
Build harmonious communities - get to know your neighbours, meet people with similar interests, improve strata security.
Improve communication - engage residents in discussion, access strata documents, paperless archives and instant correspondence.
Provide operational transparency - notify residents, understand what’s happening at the management/council level.
Property Managers can provide a whole new level of service, by providing instant access to strata information, approved tradespeople and FAQ’s.
We address some target market dynamics by providing exceptional customer support (via phone, email or directly through the MiCasa web application) and reducing the learning curve (keeping the user experience simple). We can always do better.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
MiCasa helps create harmonious communities - Use MiCasa to encourage discussion throughout the year so that by the time your Annual General Meeting rolls around, residents will be up-to-speed on strata issues requiring their attention.
Example - Landscaping: Landscaping is an important part of protecting property value in a strata building. Most landscaping project costs should be covered by the strata’s contingency fund; however, some details of a landscaping project may need to be voted on by residents during an Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The Property Manager (or landscaping committee) can upload the landscaping plan to MiCasa’s secure document storage area (instantly notifying residents), then start a landscaping discussion thread on the MiCasa Community Board.
After downloading and reading the landscaping plan, residents can choose to contribute their ideas on the Community Board thread. Some residents may prefer to just read through the comments posted by other residents.
The overall outcome is a more engaged, harmonious community, armed with enough information to make an educated decision at the AGM.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
While MiCasa was one of the first companies to tackle the residential strata technology market, over the past 2 years competition has started to appear.
Here are a few of our competitors:
http://www.residentwebsite.com/
https://www.strataeus.com/
http://www.nexusonline.ca/
We set ourselves apart from our competition by choosing to champion B.C. Strata Residents rather than Property Management Companies. By meeting the technology needs of strata residents, we help them create harmonious communities and grow our business. By applying technology to solve real-world problems we help people live better in strata buildings.

MiCasa grew from my own needs as a strata resident.
I purchased my first apartment in North Vancouver around 5 years ago. While talking to some fellow residents at my first strata AGM I noted that the overall crowd feeling was confusion. Residents were concerned about casting votes on important issues that they did not fully understand.
After the meeting I approached the president of my strata council (a Property Manager himself) and asked if there was an email list that I could join to keep informed on strata related issues. I was informed that no such email list existed.
Aha!
The next morning at the office (at this time we owned a small web development company) I discussed the idea of creating a simple website for strata residents with my business partner Jonathan Hawkes. As a strata resident himself Jon loved the idea. We immediately set to work creating the first "pilot" application and eventually evolved it into the application that exists today.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The goal of MiCasa is to redefine the way residential buildings currently operate in British Columbia. We aim to establish a new norm where owners, renters, council groups and management use technology to work together and develop a real, harmonious community. We are committed to improving the lives of people living in residential strata buildings.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since launching the basic version MiCasa in Late 2011 we have recorded slower than expected growth. However, we have been working very closely with residents from the strata buildings that have adopted MiCasa and opinion is high.

Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Five year projections
- reached 5% market traction in our Metro Vancouver sandbox.
- expanded throughout B.C.
- reached 2% market traction in Seattle or San Francisco.
- reached 2% market traction in Sydney, Australia.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Gaining entry into strata buildings is our largest barrier to success. Once established in a strata building MiCasa is welcomed by residents. Overcoming this barrier may mean establishing distribution agreements with Property Management Companies.
Strata Property Act and Privacy Act: To overcome this potential barrier we need to effectively communicate MiCasa's alignment with these act's. Strata Residents need to feel that they are dealing with an ethical company and that their rights and privacy are being protected in accordance with these act's.

Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
No. At the moment we are focussing our limited resources on refining our business model in our Vancouver market. This gives us the ability to better understand the needs of local strata communities before rolling-out province or country wide.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
We are a B.C. company, but at the moment our 3 co-founders are located in Vancouver, Sydney and Vienna. We operate autonomously much of the time, so clearly defined rolls, goals and responsibilities are hugely important. We foster a business environment based on trust and mutual respect for each other. We encourage each other to excel in the areas of product and workflow innovation. Our business depends on it.

Which of the following best describes the barrier(s) your solution addresses? Choose up to two
Acceso, Costo, Calidad.
The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
The need for Young Professionals to be actively and intentionally engaged with social and environmental issues. Young Professionals need to be informed, educated, intellectually challenged and emotionally engaged to think and behave beyond their immediate desires for self sustenace. Young professionals today do not appear to be actively engaged with the world around them and even if they do, their engagement is either temporary (volunteering), detached (donating funds) or superficial (i.e. get a good feeling.) Young Professionals need to be aware that everything they do and every choice they make have ramifications on the entire world.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution is to have accountability and mentorship from seasoned business leaders and educated professionals from both the social and environmental disciplines. Currently, we are providing monthly events where Young Professionals meet with seasoned leaders for Q&A and dialogue on how seasoned leaders engage with the world and how their lives integrate social and environmental justice (e.g. John Neate of JJ Beans on Fair Trade, John Fluevog of Fluevog Shoes on Overseas Labor, John Bromley of Beneficgroup on Ethical Giving etc.) However, we do not want to stop there. We would like to have more quality speakers to engage with the young professionals and also develop small groups of young professionals at various locations in the Lower Mainland representing different industries called PODS to be mentored by a professional in either a social or environmental discpline and a venue for these young professionals to innovate, create and put good deeds into action in their area.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The Current model includes monthly events and miniature small groups based on geography and industry called PODS. Each month, a business leader or professional from a social or environmental discipline will dialogue and engage with the young professionals on how they see their lives engaged with social and environmental justice. Thus far, we have seen on average 80-100 young professionals attending (with very little marketing.) In between events, small groups called PODS will meet on a regular basis. For example, young professionals who are situated in Downtown and are in Finance will meet with Tamara Vrooman (CEO of Vancity) on a casual basis to be mentored, counseled and coached on how they can engage their work while integrating social and environmental justice. During these POD meetings, they will share ideas, expertise and develop initiatives that they can put into practice at their workplace so that their work is intentionally integrating social and environmental principles
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.

When John Neate of JJ Beans shared his story, his final closing statement was "Be known for what you do, not what you don't do." The challenge went out that sure, many of us can engage from time to time a volunteering opportunity or give money to a well meaning cause but have we ever considered of thinking about how our actions affect the world in the very place we spend most of our waking hours? i.e. our workplaces? Are we here to just work to live or are we here to make change and help humanity through what we do in our day to day lives? How can we practically integrate all the philosophies and principles that Dr. David Suzuki proposes into what we do for a living? Young professionals live in a dualistic world (i.e. the world around us and my world) yet in reality, we only live in 1 world (our world.)
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The goal is to educate, intellectually challenge, mentor and provide a venue for young professionals to engage with social and environmental issues and innovate initiatives that they can practically implement in their work
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Kamal Dhillon, The recent recipient of the Courage to Comeback award spoke at one of our events and shared her story of domestic violence and abuse. She met with several women (young professionals) that evening and helped them to learn how to be aware of people in abusive situations and advise them on how they can help their colleagues who are in abusive relationships. If 1 of 4 women experience abuse, the odds are high that one our colleagues at work may be abused.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
We hope that we can sustain a steady flow of speakers and build the Young Professional network to 1,000 people with 100 PODS around the Lower Mainland that will encompass all the disciplines and industries in 1 year

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The world has changed. The global economy is flattening, there is unprecedented migration and we are experiencing a digital revolution and yet schools around the globe are not adequately preparing youth for their interconnected world. Those prepared to operate within this reality will see this interconnection as an opportunity. Those not prepared will see this changing landscape as a threat. 99% of school principals believe a global mindset is important for students’ futures. Educators and employers alike agree that immersion abroad is an effective way for students to develop global competence. But sending students abroad is costly. Schools around the globe are searching for a low-cost way to provide the social-emotional learning that takes place when students are exposed to the world.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
One World Youth Project simulates the experience of travel by linking classrooms around the globe and empowering students to teach one another about our changing world. We partner with a university/college to develop a service-learning program on their campus where we train their students over the course of a semester to become experts in the OWYP "global mindset" curriculum. These students then facilitate a weekly connection between a local middle or high school classroom in their community with a classroom abroad through the match OWYP has made in partnership with a middle or high school in their community and in the region abroad. OWYP links all participating campuses in a global network, allowing student facilitators to work together across borders as advocates for their local middle/high school classrooms. This system provides middle and high schools with a free-of-cost way to expose their students to the world while still meeting standards.

OWYP works with Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and the D.C. Public School system. Georgetown students sign up for the program through their community service center. They receive internship credit and some get paid for taking on additional leadership. After the OWYP training, they enter into a middle school social studies classroom once-a-week for a year to lead lessons that connect their mentee students with students in Prishtina, Kosovo. To do this effectively, the Georgetown students are in touch weekly with their counter-part facilitators: students at the University of Prishtina. OWYP empowers the university student facilitators on both sides of the exchange with video cameras, still cameras, mobile tech and most importantly, a flexible curriculum that inspires young people to teach one another, across borders, about our rapidly changing world while developing the ability to connect across difference.

There are great orgs that do complementary work to integrate global competency into schools. Our partner, World Savvy, is one of the best examples. Also, peer organization Primary Source is a good curricular example. We call orgs like this the "global ed" sector. There is another sector we call "exchange 2.0" (cross-cultural connections via tech rather than travel). This includes partner orgs like iEARN and longtime peers Global Nomads Group and the Soliya Project. OWYP works with all of these orgs to create a greater awareness about the skills (e.g. applied empathy) and values (e.g. desire to be a change-maker) associated with a global mindset. They're not competitors because OWYP is unique in that it can scale exponentially without philanthropy or a focus on a certain region.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have served 4 campuses and local school communities during our pilot --impacting over 150 university and middle/high school students. Post-pilot we dug in deeper in Washington, DC and Prishtina, Kosovo this academic year to better understand the impact of the inclusion of weekly, facilitated global education within the public school environment. Last month we made our first planned expansion to Guyana, Turkey, Pakistan and another US site: Boston.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
OWYP will scale to serve 45 campuses by 2015, engaging over 7,000 university and middle/high school students in 17 countries. This means 7,000 students will have developed greater global competency, have a greater chance of receiving and succeeding in higher education, have greater employment opportunities in a global economy and most importantly be discerning, empathetic and empowered global citizens poised to build a more sustainable and just world.

I founded in OWYP in 2004 at 18 years-old as a link between my high school in Massachusetts, USA and a school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The project grew quickly as educators around the world began emailing asking for their classroom to be linked with a partner abroad. Within a year, OWYP became a not-for-profit run by a volunteer team of university students in seventeen countries. From 2004 to 2009, we connected 67 schools in 26 countries using email, Skype and Facebook to coordinate efforts. To meet the rising demand for wired global learning opportunities, OWYP began to engage universities as partners in connecting the secondary schools in their community with classrooms abroad. With these new partners, OWYP began to train university students as the facilitators of cultural exchange in local classrooms. OWYP scaled to a full-time staff and from 2009 to 2011 ran a two-year pilot with university partners in the United States, Kosovo, and Qatar. We have since expanded to 3 new sites.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
We have found that pupils from Romania are not confident in their opinions and suffer from lack of identity as they are deterred from assuming individuality by a decaying society and prejudiced teachers. This reverberates in low cultural interest and lack of civil involvement, self-deprecation, unclear perspective on life and society and fear of asserting values that are dear to them.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
A long-term individual discovery and self-recognition programme through debate, critical thinking and civic involvement as tools of self-awareness and involvement. We created debate clubs in two highschools in Iasi for students to meet, learn how to discover their own opinions and values, increase their potential and abilities in assessing and expressing what they believe in and create opportunities for them to put their own projects into practice.
We build confidence by exposing and nurturing their opinions, we teach logic, critical thinking and advance argumentation, create programs and collaborations worldwide on various themes and encourage them to create their own projects, while helping them to put them into practice.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
A young boy is shy, confused about his beliefs and generally lacks confidence as he does not fit the model of his peers. He is considered weak and slow-witted. He enters the debate club and hears us speak about truth, reasoning, values and culture. He feebly expresses some ideas, receives positive feedback, develops a sense of confidence. In time, he becomes more certain of what he wants to say, he develops stronger arguments, expresses them sharply, calmly and profoundly. He no longer feels out of place. He joins a leadership camp, a cultural event that we created, he forms bonds with other enthusiastic people and starts building his own project on raising awareness on rights and liberties in his school. He wants to become a lawyer and is now getting better grades in subjects that involved exchange of ideas and analysis of literature. He joins our English in debate course and his communication skills and confidence increase. The next year, he runs for school representative and not only is he convincing, he also has a few ideas on how to make his peers more rediscover value and culture where they were only troubled with fun.
We create a book club and he immediately joins and after a couple of months he confesses he now better understands the profound messages of the books he reads and has developed better taste.
He is still eager to grow,but now he has a clear social and political perspective, he is aware of what education lacks because he has detached himself from the subjective influence of others and can objectively and profoundly judge received information.

There are several other competitive and active debate clubs and societies in the country, but they only focus on students acquiring debating skills, but never teach value, quality argumentation in good faith and cultural advancement. It is true that being able to debate well is attractive to most participants and some rush to join these societies with the hope of being wonderful speakers themselves. In exchange, we focus more on truth than good argument, on scope and value than on strategy, we focus more on the individuals and their intellectual and spiritual growth than on winning competitions. Furthermore, we have combined debating activities with social involvement, cultural events,raising awareness, developing identity and professional choices with support from others with common goals

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have created two highschool debate and leadership clubs which over the last three years brought together 50 participants that were taught values, argumentation and critical thinking and were encouraged to develop identity and ideas for change.
Some of them have evolved into capable leaders of the activities, so that now we have 4 students preparing to become trainers and to take on the activity and some have advanced and implemented personal projects (i.e. photography contest on social themes, an 'Introduction to Law' course for highschool students, public debates on student-interest themes), while some have become student representatives in school bodies and volunteering.
Most participants reported a new sense of awareness and stronger values and those that had issues expressing opinion in certain school subjects now confess they have better grades and more impact in their exposure of opinions, having gained a more profound understanding on current issues and youth life.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We want to expand the project in two more big highschools in Iasi and to extend our range of activities after the initial phase of personal development. We want the project to reach more students and engage them in deeper self-awareness and understanding and forming a solid core of youth individuals to promote and uphold values, common goals and social change. The strong opinions they develop now will turn them into informed and involved citizens in the upcoming years, both professionally and socially.
Thus we want to involve the students in major projects on promoting culture and revitalizing civic engagement in the community through the formation of international ties among youth, local cultural, artistic and social programs so that their ideas and initiatives will be put implemented.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
So far we have implemented those stages of the project that involved small amounts of funding and involved more personal and close-range work. Stepping into the stage of outwards expression and change in society, the following activities will require funding beyond what we've had so far.
We are currently applying for funding from international, European and local funding bodies for particular activities we want to involve the students in.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
As two of the founding members had been part of a debate club for a long time, they noticed that despite participants acquiring good speaking skills, they were still confused and unaware of basic values and principles and of the quality of reasoning based on truth. We explained this phenomenon by the fact that although the form is taught in debate and the content is learnt in school, students are not able to link notions together to form a value-based system because value and empathy are not noticeable in society anymore.
While the initiators of this project had gathered over time some notion of particular projects they would like to implement, upon realizing the fact that youth are losing the need for an identity and firm grasp of reality, it became obviously necessary to take up the task of re-educating youth in perceiving and reacting to reality on a firm base of principles and goals, that cannot be taught in school but need to be discovered individually.

This programme can help youth in their critical years of growth and development, to explore one’s own right relationships with the self, self and others, sense of purpose and contribution, actions and interactions, others and the living world around, connecting with their higher self, and empowering and maintaining a stable and balanced approach to life.
With all that, we provide a strong root for every human being from which further positive actions can develop, in any field and in any direction.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon in Oxford when Peter Williams, Doug Stephenson and I sat down to talk about growing up and why is it good to keep your inner child alive. We talked about grim conditions in Macedonia, how is it in the world, how it's becoming harder to grow up happy and aware of Self. Then Peter's eyes shone like a diamond and he said, let's make a ripple effect! Let's start with one group of young people, who in turn can do something positive with their peers or younger ones. Doug had an idea to do it in steps, and we called it THE SEVEN KEYS. It outlines the whole worldview one young person can have, about Self, the others, relation with all, about the values, identity, empathy, confidence and belief in oneself, about accepting the uniqueness and inherent goodness of every individual. It's a complete Human Potential Development programme, starting with the Core. And here we are! Hope you like it and will go for it. Every little helps! :)

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
As we head deeper into the 21st century, we face unprecedented challenges and potential conflicts. Empathy – for one another, for other species and for the planet – is the most important capacity we will need to face these challenges and yet, recent studies suggest that amongst some populations, particularly young people, empathy is actually on the decline. While we know some great solutions for how to foster empathy, how many more might be out there that need to be tapped into, tried and shared – including those we haven’t thought up yet! We need multiple solutions for a multi-pronged, multi-sectoral approach.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
“Think Empathy” will be a youth “think and do tank” on empathy that will support young people to work together in person and across borders using online platforms to reflect, share and innovate to generate ideas, lessons and create new strategies from the local to the global about how to foster empathy within ourselves and others. Existing and new models – including those that have not yet been thought of – will be developed, adapted, piloted and evaluated. These will include creative, play-based strategies. Based at an international, tuition-free, merit-based high school with students from 100 countries, the international element will support comparative analysis of approaches in different cultural contexts and enrich strategies. Lessons learned, ideas and concrete strategies will be shared and disseminated widely. Networks and communities of learning – including with groups of youth worldwide using online technology and multi-media tools – will enable mutual learning and exchange.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
As part of their curriculum, students at the school meet once a week to discuss ideas and develop specific projects for how to foster empathy. A portion of this time focuses on learning from the wisdom, experiences and lessons learned of individuals and organizations working on this issue around the globe, as well as reflecting on what empathy means in different contexts – cultural or otherwise. Specific links will be made using technology with groups of young people with whom IICRD is working in Thailand, Brazil and Colombia. With this network, as well as the fact that the students at this tuition-free, international baccleaureate high school represent 100 countries, the project offers young people a strong cross-cultural lens. Ongoing curriculum throughout the year supports reflection and students implement their projects during two intensive week-long sessions, and for a two-month period in between years 1 and 2 of their study, when they either run their project in Canada or their home countries. They are provided with a small amount of project funds where needed, as well as project planning and evaluation tools to support their project development and implementation. After running their project, students return to discuss lessons learned, experiences and refine strategies, focusing on disseminating and sharing their experience widely, using social platforms and multi-media. Online technology will be instrumental in getting the word out and initiating an international online community of youth worldwide working together to foster greater empathy in their communities.

We do not know of any other organization proposing a project similar to this. We know of a number of organizations who are pursuing projects with shared goals – for example, Roots of Empathy, the Greater Good Science Center, RandomKid – however, we do not view them as “competitors” but as key allies with whom we will network, exchange ideas and learn together through this project, in pursuit of what we perceive to be our common goals.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The project was developed and tested last year with a focus on getting youth input, establishing relevance, and project design to ensure maximum feasibility and sustainability. Thus, no impact of the solution to date has been tracked.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We expect to contribute to the following impacts through this project:
- 300-500 young people from around the world are actively engaged in “Think Empathy”
- Global community has increased awareness of concrete strategies and approaches to fostering empathy in a range of organizations, communities and situations, with goals of reaching 1,000,000+ followers online
- “Think Empathy” youth hubs are established around the world, working together to create youth-led solutions for fostering empathy in the world
- Communities where students run their projects are more empathetic
- Tools are developed for how to measure empathy in cross-cultural environments
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
We believe the potential lack of funding poses the most significant challenge to this project in terms of being able to provide adequate support for young people to reflect, innovate, test and evaluate their projects. For this reason, the project is designed to start small – with a focus on one school – and focused on building a model, with resources and links, which can be scaled up and used by other schools and organizations. Linkages to other young people will focus on groups already working with organizations or schools – thus, requiring minimal financial support to enable engagement.

When in Brazil working with young people in 2010, a group of youth came up with an innovative solution for how to protect children and youth from internet-enabled child sexual exploitation – to create a video game for 6-10 year olds. The project helped pull together the right players and funded this initiative, which is being tested and piloted now, with the promise of educating hundreds of thousands of children at risk. It made me realize that young people have the solutions within them for the most daunting challenges they will face in their lifetimes, and that it is through listening to them, working with them and supporting them to actualize their visions and strategies that we can begin to hope to solve the world’s greatest challenges.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
For the past decade, pressures to focus solely on improving test scores has left little time for social-emotional learning programs in most U.S. public school curricula. Programs that are in use are costly, rely heavily on slogans, contests, one-time workshops, theme weeks, and web-based learning rather than real-life skill-building or practice. The most popular program focuses on teaching what constitutes good behavior rather than on developing the skills (like empathy) that lead to them. In 2010, Education Week cited results from the largest federal study showing that such character education programs had little to no effect on improving student behavior. Schools need programs that teach empathy as a skill, provide real-life practice over time, and improve student behavior.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Compassionate Campus program uses student-to-student interactions, with coaching from teachers, in real-life situations to hone students’ empathy skills over the course of each school year.
This program pairs upper grade mentors (5th-8th) with lower grade buddies (1st-4th) for bi-weekly meetings wherein they connect with each other, connect to their campus, and weave the social fabric of community. Students jointly participate in exercises like:
• Taking the temperature of social well-being
• Addressing bigger issues of how we care for and treat each other
• Holding listening circles to help younger students with any social and emotional difficulties they might be facing.
These peer-mentor relationships develop into safe forums for children to speak their truth and discover new perspectives towards their challenges. Empathy grows as the students learn to inquire without judgment and to listen to each other, without a rush to find a solution, simply to understand.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
At the beginning of the school year, 8th graders are paired with 4th graders, 7th graders with 3rd graders, 6th graders with 2nd graders, and 5th with 1st graders to mentor. These mentor assignments last until the end of school year - the relationship can last a lifetime.
Every other Wednesday throughout the year, the older children have a classroom civics lesson which includes coaching on a particular social-emotional skill, beginning with listening for understanding.
Afterwards, the students in grades 1-8 attend an assembly together to interactively explore a school-wide, social challenge.
Lastly, each mentor and buddy spend 30 minutes with each other engaging in conversations of their choice. For particularly challenging situations, mentors will form listening circles with other mentor-buddy pairs to help all gain a better understanding of each others perspective.
Compassionate Campus uses the power of student-to-student interactions in getting children to open up to one another to uncover information that would not otherwise be told to an adult.
The program also uses the power of mentorship to spark an inner motivation for children to call up the best in themselves for the service of others. As these mentors focus on modelling empathy for their younger buddies, they begin to internalize the skill and begin to be more empathetic with their same age peers. As the younger buddies become the older mentors, they carry forward the lessons learned from earlier years and pass the skill on to the next cycle of students.

Kim John Payne's Social Inclusion Approach (SIA) is the closest peer program. Unlike SIA, which has adult-driven solutions, Compassionate Campus engages students by having children help other children make decisions about children. Compassionate Campus takes less time to fully implement than the 3 year time frame SIA lays out.
Competitors include a host of commercial character education programs. Compassionate Campus is different than most because it teaches skills rather than behaviors (how versus what), it is child-driven so kids relate more, and uses real life situations in real time rather than role-playing or something on a scree for a more authentic experience.
All programs that move character education into the public consciousness help our collective growth.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Compassionate Campus started in a private school in Northern California. The program evolved and was implemented at a public charter school also in Northern California. Now the program is in its third evolution and has been in effect at Journey School, a public K-8 charter school, since September 2011. Since implementation at Journey, there has been a 60% reduction in discipline issues as measured by children being sent to the office. Also, the percent of students who feel safe & secure at school rose from 76% to 92% as a result of this program.
Teachers note that children feel more connected to other students across their school, they feel as if they have someone to bring problems to and they feel heard. They are more open to talk, more expressive in their feelings, and love spending time with their partners -- they feel a great bond. Mentors, are rising to the challenge and getting out of their comfort zone (boys especially) to be emotional guides for the younger buddies.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Empathy will become ingrained in the Journey School culture as listening and inquiry skills deepen with practice year after year.
Teachers will have more time to focus on lessons as disruptions decrease and students are less distracted by social-emotional issues.
Parents will become trained and involved in the program as Calm and Return Educational Servers (CARES) and Parents on the Playground (POPs) volunteers.
An entire school community will become a community of compassion and serve as a scalable model to be replicated in public schools across the country.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The biggest barrier is in finding administration champions to spearhead the Compassionate Campus program in each school -- it takes dedication and a compelling advocate to implement the program. The second biggest barrier is in carving out time in the curriculum to teach these social-emotional skills.
With published statistics on the decreased need for interventions and discipline issues, we can show administrative and classroom time savings that would offset the time needed to implement the program.
Also, with statistics and survey results showing greater student satisfaction and happiness, we can ask schools and parents to consider the importance of social-emotional education. The imperative to make room in the curriculum becomes clear with measurable results.

As the Education Director at another school, Bonnie River, the founder of Compassionate Campus, intervened in an incident where an older boy was physically harming a younger girl. As Ms. River hugged him tightly to restrain him, he began to sob. The "bully" began repeating to himself how he was not fat, not stupid. He went on to say maybe he was fat, maybe stupid. Finally he ended with he was fat, he was stupid. It became clear he was acting out as a victim of bullying himself. It was at that moment that Ms. River felt compelled to create a program where children could find a way to safely express the social challenges they were facing. She began work with Kim Jon Payne to create the Social Inclusion project. With time it became clear to Ms. River, that the adult-driven method developed with Mr. Payne needed to be more child-driven to be truly embraced by the students. Compassionate Campus was born of Ms. River's vision of using student-to-student interactions to grow empathy.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The world is in a crisis regarding bullying in schools. Despite years of anti-bullying campaigns and hundreds of research studies, the problem continues unabated. The U.S. Dept. of Education asserted the need to explore new approaches to the problem, for research shows that the most highly regarded programs rarely reduce bullying and often result in an increase.
Anti-bullying campaigns attempt to promote sympathy (rather than empathy) for victims but are having an unintended negative side-effect: promoting intolerance and hatred for anyone we think of as bullies. There is an unprecedented level of tension in schools as a result of anti-bullying policies, as each child and their parents try to convince the school that their child is the innocent one and the other is the guilty one.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Ironically, the solution to bullying has been known for thousands of years. We have lost it because the new field of bullying is based on a criminal paradigm rather than a scientific one. Bullies are considered guilty perpetrators and victims as innocent parties who need to be protected. It unwittingly dis-empowers kids by teaching them they can’t solve their own problems.
A scientific paradigm recognizes that all social groups form pecking orders and members struggle for dominance. Rather than trying in vain to get bullies to give up their power, it is more helpful to empower kids with the wisdom for not being victims.
The true solution is radical: promoting empathy (not sympathy) for bullies. Through structured role-playing games, I enable people to experience the pleasure they unwittingly give their bullies by getting upset, and teach them how to easily stop being bullied by treating their bullies like friends. This is the true purpose of the Golden Rule: to love our enemies.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The system I call Bullies to Buddies dramatically reduces bullying by teaching the scientific application of the Golden Rule. The only reliable way I can get you to treat me like a friend is by treating you like a friend. So even if you are treating me like an enemy, by treating you like a friend, I will get you to stop treating me like an enemy.
We are aware when others treat us like enemies, but there are many ways by which we treat others like enemies without realizing it. I have developed a set of simple “Bullies to Buddies Rules” that teach people how to treat others like friends rather than enemies and demonstrate their application via role-playing. I teach both students and staff how to create harmony by applying these rules in all of the common bullying situations.
There is a second essential component to helping a school. The staff must stop intervening in ways that unwittingly cause hostilities to intensify. The main reason bullying has been a growing problem in schools is because staff are being required to take the side of victims against bullies. Through role playing, I demonstrate how this results in a situation known in psychology as “triangulation.” Hostilities among the two parties escalate, as each one tries to get us on their side, and one party become hostile towards us for taking the other's side against them. I replace triangulation with "Magic Responses" that enable staff to quickly defuse incidents of bullying while increasing students' emotional maturity, resilience and independence. Teachers can spend their time teaching instead of policing.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Fortunately, there are other professionals teaching kids how to stop being victims, for this knowledge is not new. However, I have developed what I believe is the most logical, comprehensive and effective system that exists for understanding and imparting this wisdom. The role-plays I have developed make it especially convincing.
My competitors are the popular bullying prevention programs, primarily the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program that has dominated the market, that teach schools to protect victims from bullies. They have lobbied for anti-bullying laws that require schools to use their approach, making it harder for schools to introduce a contrary approach.
Another major obstacle is the public’s love for the idea that bullies should be treated like criminals.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The Bullies to Buddies website has free materials that have helped countless children and schools not only in the U.S. but in other parts of the world as well. Our books, videos and cds have helped many thousands more people. We have also created videos for creating harmony in the workplace and marriage.
Over the past decade, I have given close to a thousand full day seminars to mental health professionals and educators and personally trained dozens of schools, districts and mental health agencies in my system. The schools and professionals using it are experiencing unprecented success.
Other companies and professionals have partnered with me to create additional programs for promoting this unique approach to bullying. A dynamic young speaker, Brooks Gibbs, created a program with me called Bully-Proof Your Teen, and The Professional Learning Board offers my Online course, Bullying: The Golden Rule Solution, to teachers. Several authors have incorporated my ideas in their books.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
While Bullies to Buddies is considered a controversial approach, its influence is growing as it is becoming increasingly obvious from both research and real-life experience that the "bullying will not be tolerated" approach is failing. We are getting a growing number of requests for trainings and presentations as well as for news interviews.
Our membership list has grown to over 19,000 people. Most of them have attended my seminars and like the approach or benefitted from our website and products. Many are eager to see the approach gain wide acceptance. With their help, and with good promotional efforts, I am expecting to reach a tipping point in which the Bullies to Buddies paradigm becomes recognized as the correct approach to creating harmony. Wisdom needs to be returned to society!
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The overriding barrier is the public's love of the idea that bullies are responsible for causing their misery and that it is society's responsibility to protect them from bullies.
A second barrier is the power of the dominant anti-bullying programs, most notably the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, which has spent millions of dollars promoting itself as the "gold standard," despite the poor research results.
The third barrier is the anti-bullying laws, passed under pressure from the dominant bullying programs, requiring schools to use their approach to bullying.
To overcome these barriers, I need to continue giving seminars, writing articles, producing products and services, and getting our supporters to advocate for Bullies to Buddies in their schools and organizations.

My life's course was changed on the day of the Columbine shooting, the event that woke the world to the plight of bullied kids. I had taught hundreds of such kids how to stop being bullied, using a simple role-playing technique, and knew I possessed the solution to the problem presented by Columbine.
I had also had taught hundreds of parents how to get siblings to stop tormenting each other, for the problem of sibling rivalry has plagued families since Biblical times. I showed parents how they were paradoxically causing their kids to fight by trying to make them stop fighting, and how to reduce the fighting by having their kids deal with each other directly.
But I saw the educational world's reaction to Columbine: it was going to try to get rid of bullying by taking the side of victims against bullies. I knew that what causes hostilities to ESCALATE at home could not possibly REDUCE hostilities in school. So I immediately made it my mission to promote the true solution.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
According to UNESCO, Brazil occupies the 88th place in Education. 8th graders have problems to read and execute simple math operations. Public schools show bad results. It’s our goal to offer a different way of teaching, bringing a personal touch, fun and respect for the student. A method that public schools can easily embrace.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We bring a new way of teaching. Opportunities democratization is our goal. Classes have 10 students or less; respect for the student; humour, a friendly and relaxed environment; we only move ahead when all learned. We help our students to achieve the dream of the admission to the public universities. We work to improve their self-esteem and make them aware about their role as citizens. Our solution will be completed when we share this new way with the public schools in Brazil. Students must be at the formal school and we don’t charge for the classes.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
At ESF (Educators Without Borders), students come if they want. Frequency is higher than 90%. Classes have 10 students or less. A Geography class can go through History and Chemistry. Tests are used to evaluate the teachers. No one is left behind. Subjects move ahead when everybody understood. Theatre and Music Workshops help to make each student aware of his role in life and society. We give no diplomas. Admission criteria: to be in the formal school and have a lot of will power. Students recover their self-esteem and many are approved to technical schools and public universities. Students praise the fact we care about them as human beings, not numbers. And the interesting way we present each subject that stimulates them to study. They enjoy the classes and are approved at the exams.

We’re talking about helping people. So we don’t see other organizations as competitors.
Many NGO’s in Brazil work to develop teenagers professional skills. But they don’t cover the huge educational gaps. Others try to reinforce what formal schools teach. We’re different. We complement what formal school teaches at the student rhythm. And as we are not tied to schedules, we can guarantee that all students learn. A challenge for us: show we don’t provide just “reinforcement classes” with the same mistakes of the formal school.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
So far we helped more than 200 students, in 2 units. Many got the highly pursued seats at Tech Schools. Some were approved at Public Universities. Students improved their self-esteem; some parents were so impressed they started studying with us. We treat students as friends, as human beings with a lot of potential. Not as problems to be solved or numbers in statistics.
Students help each other. A girl approved at a Public University came back as a teacher, to share her knowledge.

We expect to have our 3rd unit, have 240 students and help the development of innovative educational ideas at public schools.

Nadia lives in a violent area in the outskirts of São Paulo. When she was not approved at the State University, she felt deceived, she had never learned what was asked on the tests.
Working two jobs, without anyone to help her, no time, no computer, and after trying for 15 years, she was approved at the State University.
She and some friends realized the need to help other students who, like Nadia, need to surpass, with their tenacity, the difficulties required to attain a University seat. That was the start of “Educadores sem Fronteiras” (Educators without Borders); its mission is to provide complementary education to students who strive for a better future. They saw the need of a place where good and caring teachers, could, at no cost, help students at social risk.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Isn’t compassion for wimps? Don’t you have to be ruthless to succeed in life? Does caring for others really make you less stressed? Is everyone capable of feeling empathy? How do gang members become peacemakers?
These are the daily concerns of modern teenagers when it comes to empathy.
Mind with Heart aims to make empathy a challenging focus of investigation for teenagers, starting from their own concerns, so they can build up their own curiosity about this human experience and come to a personal conviction of its benefits to oneself and to others.
Too often teenagers have no space to explore these questions and no access to information designed for their age group.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Mind with Heart facilitates meetings between teenagers, including youth at risks, and the world’s leading experts on empathy and compassion, such as scientists, thinkers and changemakers.
The Empathy and Compassion in Society Youth Conference is an opportunity for 350 teens to take part in this life-changing experience.
The event will take place on 22 November 2012 at the Southbank Centre, near Westminster in London, UK.
The youth conference is based on our curriculum and a pilot carried out last year: Young people prepare their own questions in advance, starting from where they are at. The interviews are filmed, and edited into short videos designed to initiate debates in schools. The young people who did the interview go back to their schools and present the videos in assemblies. The videos are widely available to schools through the internet.
The project uses media and tools that appeals to young people: science, celebrities, video materials, and social media.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Mind with Heart has piloted the project by facilitating two unique interviews last year:
In June 2011, students from the Family Life Centre near San Francisco interview Dr Paul Ekman, pioneer in the study of emotions, and internationally renowned for training government officials in emotion recognition.
In September 2011, young Londoners from Bethnal Green Academy and Hampton School interview Matthieu Ricard, the Buddhist monk that popular media named the happiest man in the world.
The videos have already gathered over 10,000 views in less than 6 months. You can view the videos on the Mind with Heart channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MindwithHeartchannel?feature=watch
The speakers at the Youth Conference will include neuroscientist and empathy specialist Tania Singer, theologian Karen Armstrong, initiator of the Charter for Compassion (tbc), co-founder of Action for Happiness and headmaster of Wellington College Anthony Seldon, and Yotam Heineberg, who works with gang members-turned-peacemakers.
As well as giving the students involved a life-changing experience, and involving their whole school in learning about empathy, the project allows schools internationally to access free educational materials.
The project is based on the experience of Mind with Heart in running workshops on empathy for teenagers.
We plan to organise other such youth conferences in other countries to broaden the range of interviewees, and of schools involved.
See http://compassioninsociety.org/index.php/youth-gathering for details.

This project is designed to meet a specific need of the lack of widely available information suited to teenagers about empathy, and to complement other empathy education initiatives.
While other Mind with Heart projects use a participatory educational approach and encourage young people to make their own observations and draw their own conclusions, we feel there is equally a need to give access to quality information on empathy, that can be tested against personal experience.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
With the 10 videos already produces, we receive feedback from teachers saying that just having access to the videos encourages them to focus teir social and emotional learning classes, tutor groups and assemblies on empathy, when they would have not felt able to address this topic before.
Mind with Heart has also held debates and workshops so far with:
- 10 citizenship or literature or philosophy classes in secondary schools in France and Australia
- 2 groups in a programme for teens dropping out of school in Montpellier
- 4 youth clubs in France and Australia
Each group has benefited from about 10 hours each.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
With the 2012 Empathy and Compassion in Society Youth Conferences, and the videos, we aim to encourage self-facilitated debates in 10 new schools in the academic year 2012/13, 20 in the year 2013/2014 and 40 in 2014/2015.
Mind with Heart will organise an inspirational international Youth Conference on Empathy and Compassion in Society every two years in a different country.
Schools are encouraged to organise their own conferences and debates.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
To create a maximum impact, Mind with Heart projects are designed to necessitate light infrastructure, facilitate partnership work, complement other educational initiatives and be widely accessible through the internet.
The challenge for small organisations is funding. Youth Conferences and video production will be mainly funded by the professional conference that they are connected to.

For 15 years, I searched for creative ways to inspire people to live together sustainably. I was an educator for sustainable development.
Over that period, I was also attracted by the Dalai Lama's call for universal responsibility, and met educators passionate about the human mind, how it colours our perception and creates havoc.
One day, in 2009, I witnessed the 8-year-old son of a school friend of mine, who had just passed away, hitting yet again his younger brother. « One who loves himself will never harm another ». The meaning of this quote dawned on me. Finding non-dogmatic ways to help remove our misunderstandings about self-esteem, self-compassion, and empathy, that's the challenge. And it could well be the key to our survival as a species.

Mind with Heart's strength is that it is a network of educators. It was founded by four like-minded educators and now gathers almost thirty. It relies mainly on volunteers and on the inspiration of teachers.

We hope to recruit champions and a senior advisory board in the next year.

i am trying to solve the dehumanizing aspect of todays educational system that is producing the society that is lacking empathy and care for those in need.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
I am developing the capacity of discernment and empathy in my students. the process is one of understanding the concepts that shape our view ofd the world, engaging in true dialogue and traveling to meet and engage with others from a completely different part of the world, economic social strata, race, culture. This process develops natural empathy adn care that is not theoretical but rather experiential.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
When students discover the gifts and humanity of those who they thought marginalized or under privileged they begin to see for themselves that the source of our humanity and identity is not necessarily vested in comfort and security. A specific example would be visiting an AIDS village for children near Johannesburg, South Africa and engaging directly with the children to hear their stories and look into the faces of people to discover that they have a great deal in common. Caring and empathy is born at that moment.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are no competitors in this only allies and colleagues. This is an infinite game where we only become stronger as we connect. What the students learn they take to heart. It is invisible but life changing and powerful. What differentiates our program from similar travel programs is the preparation and process of reflection and the Learning Journey Rubric which helps the students become more aware of their emotions and experience.

After an amazing series of moments at Philani Child Nutrition Project in Khayelitsha Township, one of the poorest places you could imagine near Cape Town, one of the students said, "I have never felt anything like that in my life and I will spend the rest of my life seeking that feeling again. If I don't find it again, at least I know that I had it once." It was a discovery of the gift of humanity that beats in every heart regardless of circumstance.

Instituto Carlos Bousono is home to a dynamic, hard-working group of teachers and students. The education is solid, but resources are extremely limited and affecting the quality of curriculum.
Learning a second language is an important skill in our growing world, but many do not make the connection between our linguistic systems, and the corresponding pathways to sustaining our global systems.
Educational models implementing this link are lacking, and are forming barriers to success, communicative functionality, and empathetic understanding within the student body.
As a country with one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the western world, the current educational trajectory is clearly not working. Kids need new avenues to access relevant connections and learning.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Through a specially designed (ESL based) course of study aimed at linguistic and sustainable connectedness we plan to amplify the syllabi at Instituto Carlos Bousono.
We will develop and incorporate innovative curriculum that will give students diverse opportunities to enhance their language skills, expand their horizons, strengthen their relationships, explore other cultures, think critically about their systems, and communicate these thoughts - all by learning how to connect more insightfully with their surrounding frameworks and the global processes at large.
By connecting students with their environment and teaching them how their everyday systems function we hope to be able to create new frameworks of thought and new pathways of compassion, empathy and wellness for themselves, and the student body as a whole. This idea is to be able to inspire forward movement with thought not previously illuminated, conversation not previously had.

The course of study will be broken into two semesters and two coinciding units.
In Unit 1 we will explore the role of language, empathy, and society. We will go over underlying principles, cross-cultural examination, and make the connection to sustainability. We will define sustainability and what it means to students. We will investigate the use of resources and talk about international comparisons. We will discuss global use of renewable resources and how they affect economic empowerment, innovation, and society. We will present information and resources about the green job market. We will discuss our systems of consumption and waste - going in depth about the source of resources, water, and food.
We will partner with the High School for Environmental Studies in New York City to coordinate lessons, and do a cross comparison of our statistics in relation to student demographics and eco ratings.
Other Activities:
Community meeting - farm to school initiative
Plan the school garden
School newspaper
Unit 2 will introduce students to the history of permaculture, its principles, design, and international community models. Students will design and implement a school survey/audit to explore and gauge sustainable systems in school. We will bring in guest speakers to present on green building and introduce resources and info about the green job sector in Spain. We will explore ethics and connect them to design, work, and daily life. Students will design and present a permaculture system for the school.
Other Activities:

The Community of Madrid has quite a few environmental educational platforms set up. Centro de Información y Educación Ambiental del Retiro is a great one in Retiro Park. There is also Germinando Iniciativas Socioambientales, and our personal favorite - Ecologistas en Accion. Unfortunately, some of these programs like La Red de Centro Educacion Ambiental are being cut due to austerity measures.
All of the aforementioned parties are located in Madrid Centro and we are not aware of any initiatives in Majadahonda, where Instituto Carlos Bousono is located. We are currently corresponding with the above parties to learn more about local movements, source resources and discuss possible collaborations. We are also looking to the US Embassy for support.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
From the curriculum that we have implemented this year, we’ve seen great enthusiasm from both students and teachers. We have connected with over 15 classes to run art activities, present on global issues, create a school newspaper, run a unit on sustainability, and begin the planning of a school garden. Through this work, students seem engaged, excited about learning, and very curious about how other people around the world live and learn.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Our projected impacts are to:
- Develop and publish curriculum to increase aptitude of second language learning, activate empathy, and increase cross cultural communication regarding sustainability
- Make curriculum available to public high schools around the world
- Connect curriculum through school partnerships
- Gain statistics and results from these partnerships to track impact
- Contribute results to publications
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Our projected barriers are:
- Lack of time and resources afforded by schools
- Lack of interest from schools
- Language barrier to learning
We plan to address these barriers through concrete and clear communication and presentation of course planning and objectives.
We will motivate students and teachers alike by illustrating a positive track record and positive student progress and interest.
We understand that public high schools are often under pressure to stick to the furnished curriculum and assessment schedules and thus will work with different departments to integrate our curriculum how they see fit.

When living in New York City, founder Dylana Dillon was a frequent customer at the infamous Murrays Bagels. Every time she went, she noticed bag after bag being given to customers, only to be discarded seconds after when they sat down to eat...filling the venues trash cans to the brim with barely used bags. Observing this, it seemed like anyone could recognize the absurdity, and that the solution to this was as simple as a five word question.
"Would you like a bag."
With just this one question, she thought, Murrays could save a ton of resources, money, and waste. Helping themselves, and in turn the environment.
And therein lies the framework of Entre Los Arboles.
If we bring ourselves to really understand our systems, and the intrinsic and enacted connections of our daily existence, we can make better choices and communicate these choices to make better solutions.
As simply as one hand, or even one bagel at a time.

Chattanooga Estados Unidos
The Chattanooga Peace Center is meant to be a center for developing and expanding peace education in the Chattanooga area. Chattanooga is a vibrant city that emphasizes culture, community & the arts yet peace and conflict education is very limited. The center will be a place for peace educators to come together to host seminars, seek out schools to teach at, compile resources, write essays & etc. The center would also include a museum area that would focus on Chattanooga history, nonviolent movements, & people of nonviolence.

Tell us about your personal background. Why are you passionate about this issue? Making an idea a reality takes innovation, dedication and strong leadership. Do you have the necessary entrepreneurial skills to realize your vision?
I've been a fair-trade supporter for the past 10 years helping to lead both my university and my London borough towards fair-trade status. So I'm a huge believer in the power of ethical consumerism and know that the easier it is to do the right thing the more likely your average customer is to do it. Therefore I want to pout in the hard work that makes other people thing being sustainable is right for them.
I've also been luck enough to work in international development and see first hand the people and places where the impact of UK purchasing decision matters. So I'm not just doing it because I think it would be fun, I want to do because I know just the smallest bit about the lives it would change.

Weddings. They're frequently an occasion for a people to buy a lot of things for a very short amount of time. So they're not a great example of sustainability.
With approximately 250,000 weddings a year in the UK alone that means there are a lot of descisions being made to buy things that are wasteful, bad for the environment or that don't give producers a fair price.
There's got to be a better way of celebrating love in a way that will help people and the planet last as long as the wedding vows- but without making people feel guilty if they don;t want to celebrate in a (recycled) cardboard box!
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Fortunately there are a number of companies that are recognizing the issue and bringing out better products. From conflict-free wedding rings to fair-trade chocolate cakes (with a side of B&Js of course)
But it's not easy to track these down. In fact helping friends plan ethical weddings can turn into a total nightmare.
There need to be simple ways for couples to find out about and order these products and services. and more general awareness raising about the ethical impact of weddings.
If a £5.5 billion industry can start incorporating more sustainable, fair-trade and environmentally friendly ways of doing something that's going to make a massive contribution around the world.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
One-off articles in a magazine don't cut it. We need:
Ethical wedding shows to bring together suppliers and interesting customers and bespoke planning tools to make being sustainable the easiest and most fun choice.
Online opportunities to purchase goods from local and global suppliers. Organising a wedding is stressful enough without trekking to the back of beyond for a fair-trade cotton wedding dress). Also this can get people re-using wedding stuff that might otherwise go to waste.
A support network for businesses who are working on pieces of the puzzle to come together so they can share ideas and offer helpful combinations to suppliers and customers. And to start shifting ideas and inform people about the work they are doing.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are other wedding shows and planners but none have the unique ethical considerations as us since the eco-chic wedding show only happened once) We don't have to be in competition- instead we can use them to grow our success- being part of a bigger show to start with before branching out on our own.
There are guides and websites that provide tips (like ethicalweddings.com) and we could certainly work together to promote ideas but none of these offer the interative side that I'd want to in actually creating dialongue between customers and providers and providing an online retail environment.
Ultimately the idea is replicable. What will make it unique and prevent challenges to growth is developing great relationships with great suppliers and offering good service

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarWhat is the social impact you have had to date and how you measure it?
As I've said it's still just an idea but I think it could have a terrific impact. During trial exercises in helping couples plan their wedding persuading them to try even just a few ethical ideas has gone down well and I know that even tiny decision have a positive effect on suppliers and for the environment.
For example one couple provided fair-trade chocolate favours where the packing included information about the value of trading this way. That means increased revenue for the farmers who produced that chocolate and increased awareness about fair trade amongst the guests.
I helped another bride source an organic florist so that her flowers on the day (and there were lots) didn't have a negative impact on the environment and she was supporting a local business.
What barriers might hinder the success of your business? How do you plan to overcome them?
The economy: The business is about supporting other businesses and, whilst the idea is about a cooperative structure it would still require taking a fee from those businesses which. given the current market forces might make it difficult to get the idea off the ground.
I'd overcome it by building good relationships and making sure companies were being offered a real benefit and the chance to reach customers they wouldn't otherwise meet.
Also there is a definite trend for buying ethical products. But couples might still be cutting back on wedding spending. Solutions would be making sure we offered quality and customer support.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHow does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?
The idea is to fund the business by taking a % of sales where we introduce an ethical supplier to a customer meaning that if we offer good quality combined with excellent promotion we should be sustainable through making sales.
As we want to support both local business and ethical suppliers to promote their goods and improve their services social and environmental sustainability are built into the concept.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHow do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
I think we're all interconnected. Descisions we make in the UK mean differences in producer income in developing country- which ultimately can make the difference between life and death. I've also ways tried to make choices which will have a positive impact and encouraged people around me to do the same but I think there's a lot of room left for social enterprise to make choices easier, simpler and more accessible to the general public.
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
I love learning about new cultures and making friends from different backgrouns so I think the most rewarding part of a trip to Uganda would be meeting producers and getting to know them and how they see our work- make sure the messgaes I'm given really match the reality on the ground.
The bit I'd find most challenging is trying to do practical work on a farm. I currently have an office job so I can't imagine how well I'd do at what is a very physically demanding occupation- but I;m willing to give it my best try.

A Política Nacional de Humanização é a sucedânea do Programa Nacional de Humanização da Atenção Hospitalar do Ministério da Saúde (PNHAH) que, como o próprio nome sugeria, se restringia a implementar medidas que contribuíssem para a “humanização da atenção hospitalar”. A partir de 2003, ela deixa de ser um “programa” (isto é, abandonando qualquer caráter prescritivo, em que o Ministério da Saúde definiria o que seria “humanizar a atenção”), passando a ser uma “política” (oferecendo apenas princípios, diretrizes, métodos e dispositivos para promover mudanças nos processos de trabalho em saúde, que propiciem práticas mais humanizadas para gestores, trabalhadores e usuários do sistema público de saúde) e assumindo um caráter transversal às demais Políticas do MS, sendo, portanto, voltada à humanização de todos os níveis de gestão e atenção à saúde (e não apenas a atenção hospitalar).
O sinal mais inequívoco do reconhecimento do valor desta política pública é a sua longevidade, atravessando várias gestões do MS e entrando, em 2012, no décimo ano de atividades ininterruptas. Além de ter se tornado uma política de referência em larga escala no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), também tem sido incluída destacadamente em projetos de cooperação internacional do MS (Moçambique e México, neste momento).

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Our final objective is to improve the health services provided through the Brazilian Universal Health System (SUS) by the humanization of those services. In a Universal Health System (SUS) full of contradictions, where stagnation and bad conditions coexist, side by side, with innovation and excellence, the urgent challenge is to create an optimistic option to the discussion. We're currently providing the “channels” which the workers, managers and users can share what has been experimented and stimulated; establishing collective links. Also, communities are built, and the exchange of knowledge and collaboration between the actors involved, produce positive effects in the management model, in the provision of care and the social control that is pervasive to the whole Brazilian health system
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The proposed solution was the creation of a collaborative network “online”, that allows the meeting, two-way affection, the exchange of knowledge, learning, free expression, sensitive listening, the art of composition and of conversation, the public recognition of successful experiences, reception, and the recognition of the other as legitimate, the diversity of visions and the participation of any one. After all, it is about a bet in collective intelligence, and a bet in the construction of intelligent collectives. A platform was chosen completely open, that did not demand any type of pre-requisite for the participation that offers a set of collaborative tools that have a diversified use. The platform has managed to do that by a commentary blog (http://redehumanizasus.net), integrating to a diverse set of other collaborative tools and social networks.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The examples are many and go far beyond the initial objectives of the project. One of the project’s happiest surprises was to find out that the intervention had multiple uses and that the collaborative platform was being used in different ways by its beneficiaries. In that sense, it was possible to see a beautiful idea be born in a little unit of the public health system “contaminate” and propagate through RHS to the different health services in the country. It was possible to see the beneficiaries of the Public Health System (SUS) bringing their difficulties in the access to the system receiving help from the managers, workers and other beneficiaries; but also to see the contributing, in their own way, to qualify the care given. A specific example, selected not only for its successful character, but by corresponds more accurately to the purposes originally intended by this project (extend collective intelligence in support of qualification/humanization of the Universal Health System (SUS)) is the case of Giselda Trigueiro Hospital in Natal (RN) . In this project, the hospital counts with a shared management system, whose development was monitored and co-constructed, since its birth in the RHS. The program was awarded in December 2011 the InovaSUS Award, which recognizes the most remarkable experiences of innovation in Public Health Management. (http://www.redehumanizasus.net/12406-hospital-giselda-trigueiro-em-2011-...) The process started in June 2009, leading to this award, and it is covered the RHS report

Two initiatives have been highlighted as a strong partner of the RHS: (1) Network Support for the NHS (AppSUS: http://apoioparaosus.net) and (2) Health Blog with Dilma (BCSD: http://www.saudecomdilma.com.br). There is widespread recognition of the mutual complementary nature of these experiences in pursuit of common goals. However, the major difference of the RHS is its character radically open and inclusive. While AppSUS has been offered as a collaboration space for the "institutional supporters" at SUS, and the BCSD as a space for debate on the activation of SUS from the contributions of thinkers, scholars and policymakers, the RHS has been characterized as a community-based, full of practical experiences, posing a direct conversation between managers, workers and beneficiaries of SUS.

Since 2003, the HNP-MS has based its action on principles, guidelines and methods that value the inclusion of different subjects, the role, the production of collective and networking. In 2007, there is a rapprochement between the HNP and researchers in the field of Collective Intelligence (understood as a field of research and practices aimed at expanding the "power of collective action"), who immediately identified the strong convergence of the method of Policy making and the possibilities offered by new web-based collaborative tools. It was from that auspicious encounter that saw the power that would have a collaborative network "online" to support the processes of collective construction of knowledge and promote changes in management practices and the SUS. In February 2008, the RHS platform was launched, at first, only for technical consultants and HNP-MS, and from May 2008, was opened to free registration on the web.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Our main goal is to promote an "increased power of collective action", by establishing a "democratic and collaborative culture" among those engaged in construction, qualification and humanization of the SUS. It is known that to reach this objective it will be necessary a collaborative process that effectively incorporates as part of work processes and management system. On the other hand, the general goal expresses the intention, also very present in this project, that such action is able to modify the governance practices and the formulation / implementation of “public policies”. That generates an increasing incorporation of individuals and civil society, enhancing bottom-up processes.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
In just three and a half years of existence, the RHS platform has received over 770,000 visitors, who made more than 1 million visits and 2.3 million page views. In addition to these impressive numbers of visitors, we have other indicators of active participation in the network: 9500 registered users, of which 470 have a blog, ie, published at least one post on the RHS of the more than 3200 posts already published and have received almost 11 thousand comments (for accurate data, see: http://www.redehumanizasus.net/node/1580).
Additionally, to these overall numbers, there are still several qualitative data and "case studies" that would illustrate the power and the multiplicity of impacts produced as many reports of workers and SUS users on the benefits gained through the RHS. A good sample of these statements was gathered in this post: http://www.redehumanizasus.net/11926-o-que-significa-a-rhs-para-voce%60
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Expand the Rede HumanizaSUS, increasing the flow of communication and work processes promoting health in their support activities, and activation of matrixes of collective intelligence, seeking greater cooperation with the routine of services, with other areas and policies of the Ministry of Health and promoting the mainstreaming and penetration of the shares values present on the National Humanization Policy (NHP) in SUS.
The intention is that RHS goes beyond its expansion process, and evolve into the joint / setup a kind of "SUS space" on the cyberspace (a CiberespaSUS!), This would be possible through the articulation / composition with other significant experiences of collaborative networks / SUS-related social and social media.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The major risks of this project relate to its sustainability and autonomy. Although sponsored by HNP-MS, it is worth noting to state that the electronic database is a completely open, and understand that it is the “real voice of the public” when dealing with policy. This perspective has been radically democratic respected by the managers of the HNP and the Ministry of Health since the creation of the RHS, but there is no guarantee that it will remain indefinitely, given the vicissitudes and instability characteristic of a government policy. Thus, the search for other forms of support, in addition to exclusive reliance on government funding, is considered an essential strategy to ensure their autonomy and power.

The highly collaborative and open nature of this project is the establishment of partnerships and diversifying the backbone of the project, in the medium and long term. We understand that the values at stake in this project make it potentially able to attract the support of a wide range of interests and potential partners rather than having a "monopoly" of a single social worker and politician.
¿Actualmente te estás dirigiendo a otras poblaciones, lugares o los mercados para tu innovación? Si es así, ¿dónde y por qué?

One of the great challenges of this new phase of the RHS will combine a professionalization (definition of processes, flows, and a load of work, was made in a spontaneous way, unsystematic, voluntary, but going forward will be subject to formal contract and remuneration) to preserve the ethos and participatory elements that have characterized this experience, in which one perceives itself as a big caregiver and, thus, co-responsible for the Organization. This challenge demands that we consider new arrangements for the management of RHS and a special attention to the services that may be offered by these publishers / caregivers employed do not lead to a "specialization" of functions and roles, taking the responsibility away from the rest of the collective in relation to the direction of Org

Already waiting for around 1 year, housewife and little farmer Maria José (not her real name), 70, arrives anxious to receive eye care in Health Truck in the city of Itapema, brought by her son due to a visual deficit. After being received at the front desk, she is rapidly directed to medical consultation as she has an appointment with determined hour and a printed card. She is impressed by the agility. The doctor asks: Good Morning, Dona Maria, how are you doing? – Doctor, I can’t see a thing. They say I am losing my sight, answers her. – OK, lets check that. You are not going to lose your sight. You have a disease called cataract and we will make a little surgery tomorrow and you will see again, explains the physician. – Ah, I am not going to lose my sight, son? Thanks God! and cries of happiness. The physician explains the procedure to her son. Next day, Maria arrives to the surgery that is finished 15 minutes after (phacoemulsification) leaving with her eye covered. After 24 hours she comes back to evaluation and withdrawal of the eye cover, with the same doctor. – Son! Wonderful! I can see! And leaves the room crying of happiness. That is a portrait of just one medical specialty and just one of the 200 surgeries done. You can imagine the 10 specialties together!

There are other Health Trucks around the country but usually providing care in just one medical specialty, therefore not covering some of the main population’s needs, as medium complexity exams. They also have high operational costs and just make one-off consultations, without continuity plans in the long term to the served community.
Projeto CIES differentiates from the traditional practice because it has developed a concept of shared management based on the implementation of a Local Productive Arrangement in health that engages government, companies, civil society and the benefited community.

After realizing the lack of health care in the periphery of larger urban centers and remote communities, a group of physicians, lawyers, accountants, engineers and architects decided to launch a mobile health center to change the harsh Brazilian reality.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Our goal is to replicate the model as Local Productive Arrangements in Health in a self-sustainable way, engaging and training local health professionals; and therefore serving more people. Our goal for 2012 is building 7 new mobile medical centers (one truck, two boxes and four mini vans) that will make possible to benefit 270,000 people in 5 different Brazilian states (Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso do Sul e Para). In 2013 we will start to implement a franchising system and we plan to have 50 mobile centers in the whole country benefiting 390,000 people by 2015.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since 2009, the project has passed in 25 cities of five different states and more than 35 thousand people have directly benefited from its services. It has provided more than 70 thousand exams and surgical procedures in gastroenterology, endoscopy, colonoscopy, cardiology, electrocardiogram, ultrasonography, urology, vasectomy, postectomy, urodynamic test, digital mammography, eye exams, cataract surgeries, chalazion, pterygium, surgeries and dermatological care, laboratorial exams and lectures on prevention of diseases. It has also offered free training to more than 500 local community agents. This results have been increasing fast: from 2008 to 2009 the number of patients increased by 116% (from 1,898 to 4,102), exams and procedures increased by 234% (from 4,267 to 14,236) and trained agents increased by 275% (from 40 to 150). From 2009 to 2012 the consolidated number increased even more, 388% (from 4,102 to 20,000 people).
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
In 3 years of operation, the direct social impact was to promote access to 57,000 people from the base of the pyramid to high-quality specialized medical care and prevention, in a humanized way, in its advanced mobile medical centers that reach people at their home’s doors. It is also affordable and enhances productivity, generates income and jobs having 1,650 health agents trained in 28 cities in 5 different states of the country. That is a result of a engagement of government-company-community where the citizen is trained, works, is paid and serves it owns community. We expect to benefit 390,000 people in 50 centers around Brazil, by 2015.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The barriers faced by the project were expected in its business plan (SWOT analysis), as well as the measures to overcome them. The barriers are: small municipalities that lack financial resources or that do not know how to contract the services (legally speaking); political parties interests; problems with local health secretary. The solution we found to overcome these barriers was to help in fundraising with local companies and providing legal support (partnership contract based on OSCIP law, calls for accreditation, tender waiving based on proven knowledge and singularity) as well as establishing partnerships with local Health Secretaries to meet repressed demand, as it is an integrated network.

Event’s costs are reduced through partnerships with local companies - which provide accommodation and food services, as example -, government (materials, equipment and professionals) and community (staff). In consequence, a Truck event generates a gross income of 100,000 to 450,000 Brazilian reals. From this amount 20% to 30% go to fixed costs, 10% go to new investments, 40% go to cover costs of the event (fees and inputs) and 20% go to cash reserves.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The Heroic Imagination Projects unlocks the everyday hero inside of young people. Too often, young people fail to stand up, speak out and act in the face of challenging situations such as bullying or discrimination. This inaction is not inevitable, and it largely stems from students not understanding how situational forces -- the social psychology at work at any given time -- block their capacity for empathy. In other words, peer pressure, the Bystander Effect (the feeling of paralysis when part of a group - especially in a crisis situation) and other psychological phenomena play more of a role in whether or not an individual displays empathy than most people realize. Bullying is perhaps the most common and damaging manifestation of these "situational forces."
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Founded by esteemed Stanford emeritus professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo, one of the world's foremost social psychologists, the Heroic Imagination Project aims to give students a deeper understanding of how social pressure impacts them, giving them agency and ownership to display empathy. Specifically, we provide interactive lessons to students in middle and high school, teaching them about psychological forces, how the basic properties of a given situation can exert influence over them, and what concrete steps they can take to ensure they act wisely. With lessons on topics such as The Bystander Effect, Peer Pressure & Conformity, Obedience & Authority and Ingroups & Outgroups, students gain both an awareness of why they feel the way they do in difficult situations as well as the skills to step up and act, becoming mindful change agents and demonstrating everyday heroism and empathy to promote pro-social behavior and prevent bullying and discrimination.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Since we base our work in research-based, measurable practices, HIP piloted its lessons over the 2010-2011 school year through ongoing partnerships with ARISE High School in Oakland, CA and Foothill Middle College in Los Altos, CA. In addition to high levels of engagement and interest, formal pre- and post-assessment results showed a meaningful increase in students’ knowledge about the Bystander Effect versus a comparison group – scoring on average 40% higher on a six-point scale. Similar effects were also seen in the students’ knowledge about conformity and prejudice. With an increased understanding of how situations can shape and affect people’s actions, meaningful increases were also seen in the areas of empathy, forgiveness and compassion for others.
A powerful example of the potential of HIP comes from Phillip Johnson, a senior at ARISE who participated in the pilot. In an interview with a Canadian Broadcasting Company radio program, Phillip explained, “I used to be the kind of person who, if someone asks for something, I’d wait a moment and see if anyone’s going to budge, but nobody does. So now if I see somebody in need I just walk right up. Recently [on the bus], there was a guy who was having an asthma attack. Everybody on the bus was talking about ‘I don’t want to see this guy die, put him off the bus, let’s keep going.’” Instead of conforming to the Bystander Effect like everyone else, Phillip remembered what he had learned, had the driver stop the bus, and ran to get help – a life-saving act of everyday heroism.

Due to our innovative programming and the potential for our work's impact, stemming from the lifetime of experience and expertise that Dr. Zimbardo brings to bear, the Heroic Imagination Project has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the magazine Science and on the Dr. Phil show and National Public Radio, among others. While other organizations exist that work against bullying and youth violence -- No Bully and Green Dot, for example -- our distinguishing factors are how deeply we ground our work in social psychology research and how we focus on teaching individuals to become aware of and mitigate the effects of situational forces. We believe that there is more than enough room for multiple approaches in the field of building empathy and ending bullying.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
HIP’s educational curriculum has been presented to nearly 100 students in the San Francisco Bay Area. The initial impact is encouraging. Pre- and post-assessment data show that participants display the following:
1.) meaningful increases in awareness and understanding of the power of situations and groups to influence individual behavior;
2.) greater skill in resisting negative social influences;
3.) increased ability to overcome challenging situations - social, emotional and academic;
4.) greater belief in their own abilities to become catalysts for positive change, in their own lives and in their communities.
In Southern California, 20 high school students designed service-learning interventions in everyday heroism that they "taught back" to more than 200 younger students in their community.
Additionally, workshops in HIP’s curriculum were presented to 500 educators in Tijuana, Mexico and 60 officers during Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Academy.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
The next 1-3 years will mark exponential growth. We plan to move into five additional high schools and directly reach 500 students through those efforts, and host 50 "train-the-trainer" workshops for educators, counselors, mentors and other youth workers.
These workshops will allow us to reach approximately 15,000 students. Moreover, we will work towards having HIP’s curriculum receive wide adoption by major school districts and other institutions, as well as publishing it in electronic and print book forms.
Within 3 years, we will see measurable decreases in bullying and youth violence, and increases in civic participation, in areas where HIP's programming has been delivered, as young people's capacity to practice empathy increases.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The major barrier that may hinder our success will be finding entry into schools, which tend to have little extra capacity for non-academic interventions. However, we believe that we can overcome this challenge because our curricula are extremely adaptable, able to be delivered in large-group assemblies, after-school clubs, during counseling periods, homerooms, etc. Moreover, with the main thrust of our work aiming towards training educators, we will be preparing individuals to take our programming into the schools in which they already work. Finally, we can make a compelling case that our work in fact IS an academic intervention, since activating students' empathy and increasing feelings of safety & security at school have been shown to have a substantial impact on academic achievement.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
Prior to founding HIP, Dr. Philip Zimbardo was finishing a distinguished career as a prof. of psychology at Stanford University; he is renowned as one of the world's leading social psychologists and a pioneer in the field (best known for the Stanford Prison Experiment). In 2006, when he was called as an expert witness the Abu Ghraib trials, his intellectual and emotional interests underwent a profound transformation. No longer content to focus on man’s inhumanity, he turned his attention, intellect and passion to how people can embody heroism, empathy, courage, integrity and action in the face of evil. It was not long before he would become the founder of HIP, a new organization designed to do just that: to promote heroism in all its facets, a subject that had received hitherto little, if any, formal academic attention. It was to be an organization rooted in science and research, an organization that would spawn countless everyday empathic heroes on every continent.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Educators today must meet the challenge of teaching in a global age in which we live with people whose appearance, experiences, and traditions strike us as different from our own. Young people need to learn to foster empathy and inclusiveness in their communities so that everyone can thrive. However, youth trends today show declining empathy and civic engagement. Key to the ability to foster inclusive communities is the understanding of others’ perspectives, recognition of the importance of individual choices, and a sense of civic agency. While our society has increasingly focused on academic achievement and high stakes testing, social and emotional learning and civic responsibility must also be seen as essential components of education.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Facing History and Ourselves sees social and emotional learning as an essential part of education, integrating them into academic curricula for adolescent students by providing a framework for exploring history and contemporary society through the lens of human behavior and choices. By studying historical examples of discrimination and violence, courage and compassion, students consider the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion and the consequences of choosing to act or remain passive. Using concepts fundamental to adolescent development, such as identity, belonging and exclusion, obedience, and responsibility, to examine the choices available to people in historical events such as the steps that led to the Holocaust enables students to make connections to their everyday lives. Evaluations have demonstrated that the program increases empathy and respect for others even when they disagree or seem different, and fosters an increased willingness to act to prevent the mistreatment of others.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Facing History creates sustainable change by working with teachers, who impact young people through daily contact. To optimize teachers’ capabilities we provide support for lifelong personal and professional development in the areas of content knowledge and understanding, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence. We offer resources, training, and mentoring, in person and online, to prepare teachers to deliver effective classes that promote empathy and civic engagement. Using Facing History’s program in courses such as American history, world history, language arts, civics, and electives enables teachers to engage their students in reflection on tolerance and empathy, social justice, and civic responsibility. Evaluations have demonstrated that Facing History increases teachers’ confidence in their ability to make a difference.
After attending a Facing History seminar in July 2008, Gregory Gallagher, a teacher at Westborough High School in Massachusetts, created a semester-long Facing History elective that is so popular the school now offers four sections. Facing History provides ongoing mentoring so that he can enhance his curriculum every year with new resources and improved methodology. Interviewed by a local newspaper about the course, one student responded that the class “creates a positive environment at the high school” and helped her evaluate her moral values and daily decisions. Another student agreed, “This class is all about personal reflection. . . The main thing is if you want to stop something from happening, like bullying, you just can’t ignore it.”

Our peers include organizations that provide educator professional development, such as schools of education and Teach for America, organizations that promote the teaching of tolerance, including Teaching Tolerance and the Anti-Defamation League, and organizations like CASEL and Project Zero, which focus on social/emotional learning. These organizations complement our work by addressing the same issues in different ways. Among these organizations, Facing History alone offers both compelling content for courses in history and the humanities and long-term mentoring to help teachers develop effective lessons and deepen their implementation from year to year. We also create new classroom resources every year that support implementation in a broad range of curricula and classroom settings.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since the organization was founded in 1976, we have provided in-depth professional development to more than 38,000 educators. Active teachers in our network reach two million students each year. Evaluations of classrooms that have implemented Facing History found a statistically significant impact on students’ empathy and pro-social behavior, decreases in student aggression, and increased capacity to confront social injustice, including teasing, racist behavior, prejudice, and discrimination. Specifically, students were less likely to endorse bystanding and more likely to endorse intervening in situations of bullying and injustice.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
To increase our impact, we will expand the network of teachers using Facing History's content and methodology by almost 50 percent over the next three years, bringing the active teacher network to a total of more than 31,500. Through this network, we will reach an estimated 3,150,000 students in 2014-2015.

At a workshop on Holocaust education in 1976, Margot Stern Strom, a middle school teacher passionate about promoting student voice and democratic participation, realized that this case study encompassed all of the issues of civic education in a democracy, such as identity, discrimination, resistance, personal responsibility. Strom developed a framework for teaching this history that conveyed an understanding that it did not have to happen but instead was the culmination of choices at every level of society. This framework also helped students to connect issues in history to their own lives. Students using this curriculum showed a remarkable depth of thinking, sensitivity, and awareness of the importance of their choices. Other teachers asked for the curriculum; Strom sought funding to provide professional development to other teachers; and Facing History and Ourselves was born. As Facing History grew, Strom saw that the program can have a positive impact on a whole school's culture.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
There is a global need for Peace Education in schools as expressed by the UN committee on the rights of the Child. The objective of WE MAKE PEACE is to answer this call with timely solutions impacting social and cultural change.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
WE MAKE PEACE is a non-profit organization specializing in Peace Education internationally through production of interdisciplinary learning resources, art projects, workshops and producing campaigns with collaborating partners to impact social, cultural and environmental sustainability, through our work with public and private schools.
By running workshops and through our Learning Pack we teach and empower teachers and students aged 8-13 yrs. valuable life skills to overcome adversity and strengthen their personal growth through active learning around the 5 peace ingredients: P for positivity, L for love, E for empathy, A for acceptance and D for democracy, that makes up the the concept of a 'PLEAD for Peace'; along with teaching human rights, sustainability, equality, conflict resolution and creative solution-based thinking.
WE MAKE PEACE is dedicated to peace practice. Peace practice cultivates peace within and teaches us to engage peacefully with our environment.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Peace is about you and me. It is a basic human need and therefore inherently relevant for all peoples at all times. In teaching children Peace Education through our workshops or through our learning pack, we give them practical tools to ensure healthy, sustainable progress as individuals and members of societies and communities.
The WE MAKE PEACE resources have been created from a place of love and gratitude for life. The nature of love is supportive and encouraging. These are the values we work to enhance in the schools today, that are often operating out of old systems of fear and force, which can be stressful and devastating for both teachers and children's development.
Peace Education requires a long-term commitment and development process, involving a strengthening of local knowledge, competences, structures and work processes effectively enhancing sustainable peace-building cultures. WE MAKE PEACE aims to fill that space with resources, activities and campaigns that offer solutions for schools to easily employ locally, regionally and nationally.
Through the WE MAKE PEACE learning pack and workshops, teachers and students are challenged to re-invent the face of peace and come up with new ways to find peace 1. Within. 2. With each other. 3. In society. At each step the important lesson is for the concept of peace to be explored and practiced, creating debate and innovation.
Through running a nationwide campaign in Denmark in 2007, where 100s of schools participated we can report well documented success with WE MAKE PEACE from the schools involved.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There can never be too many peace education initiatives.
Our work would be greatly accomplished if peace education becomes part of the national curriculum in all schools on a global scale.
Some of our competitors are the people and organizations we work and collaborate with, including Unicef, Amnesty International, Center for Conflict Resolution, the Danish Refugee Council etc. These organizations typically push a specific cause like human's rights, bullying or human aid.
What makes WE MAKE PEACE a wonderfully, stand-out initiative is that peace is a broader and more all-encompassing subject, that calls for collaboration and inter-action between a variety of organizations and partners. The more the marry. The success of 'Peace Education' is measured in participation numbers.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since launching in 2007, more than 140 school classes in Denmark have used and are still using the WE MAKE PEACE learning resources today.
Through running pilot programs in the UK and launching our organization internationally at Camp Bestival in 2009, we have been able to reach more than one 1000 children and parents including teachers, who have gained learning about our cause and initiatives.
Through our website and social media we also reach aprox. 300 users a day.
Social impact that teachers have reported back includes:
Students respond well to such fundamental concepts as peace and empathy and equality because they think about these things a great deal.
And during the work they are influenced by the concepts both visualized through words, debate and pictures.
And because the ingredients the book describes to reach peace - both in the world, but also within one self, is so existential for a good life, it creates subtle changes in their behavior and attitude.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
By launching in the US this year (2012) WE MAKE PEACE aims to impact 1-300 schools in the next 3 years.
By making our resources available online we hope to reach a further 100-500 schools internationally.
Through scheduled workshops and campaigns in Uganda we expect to impact 50-100 schools in the region of Northern Uganda.

All our work is carried out on a volunteer basis.
Our main obstacles are ensuring the financial backing to carry out our activities.
We are carrying out a plan of securing funding and taking the needed steps one by one to reach our goals.
We also depend on volunteer help and assistance which is always a case of unpredictability. So far our experience has shown us that people are more than willing to work and provide services for a good cause they believe in.

Founder Mare Mamonia wrote the children's story, entitled A Recipe for Peace back in 2005.
"The idea just popped into my head one day, as I was thinking about world peace and what initiatives I could get involved with in order to increase the peace. Peace is something so fundamental to our well-being. I thought we must begin with the children. Everything starts with the children. And then - pling - the idea of finding a recipe for peace landed in my lap. I was amazed that no one (to my knowledge) had thought of that before... And so a charming, little story almost wrote itself and became the basis of my work with spreading peace education.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
In Mexico there is a lack of values that is strongly affecting society. One of the most affected cities is Ciudad Juarez, which is a border city with the United States. After giving it a lot of thought, Planta came to the conclusion that the problems (corruption, violence, fear, poverty, and greed, among others) can be addressed at a root level targeting the educational system. Children are growing up discouraged and with a sense of disappointment from the violence and fear surrounding them. Most of the problems revolving around the Mexican society are due to the lack of education, values and empathy among people, there is the need to focus on what is really important from the very beginning, from the root: education since grade 1.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution is to implement a series of workshops targeting elementary grade teachers of the private schools in Juarez, Mexico. Why teachers? Because in their hands is the future of our children, they are the ones shaping them. Teachers have to be aware of the importance of coaching them in the right way. The workshops comprise the importance of stressing values like equality, respect, coexistence, honesty, sharing, love, responsibility and happiness in every single course. Empathy among children will be the main tool to build from there those values, games and activities will be used to increase empathy.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The model comprises 4 phases.
Phase 1. Approach private schools executive directors and educate them about the program. Explain the importance, length of the program and level of commitment needed from them. After approval, we move to phase 2.
Phase 2. Teacher's workshop, which consists of activities just among teachers. The workshop will target all the teachers from grade 1 to 6 (elementary school) from the private schools (one school at a time):
Introduction
Role play to measure empathy levels among teachers
Importance of empathy, values and teaching what really matters
Success stories - why is empathy so important?
Evaluation of believed levels empathy in their classroom
Conclusion
Phase 2 will be a one day workshop.
Phase 3 Will also only comprise teachers, but will provide hands-on training and skills to develop empathy in their classrooms.
Introduction
Empathy kit - consists of materials, examples, Q&A, games, activities and resources to engage children.
Hands-on training
Questions
Conclusion
Phase 3 will last one day.
Phase 4. Monitoring and Evaluation
This phase involves teachers and students. Teachers will have to implement the empathy kit on a daily basis, but random visits will be performed where teachers will have to implement the empathy kit in front of Planta members. Students will be evaluated according to their knowledge and understanding of values, and their demonstrated levels of empathy.
As time goes by, visits will become less frequent but evaluation will continue, measuring students levels of empathy.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Our peers are top executives of several private schools from Juarez. We have been in contact with them for some time now and they are very interested in what we have to bring to the table. Other peers would be the University of Juarez, University of Texas at El Paso, the University for Peace. The universities help Planta network with the Mexican government and other NGO's around the world. Another important peer is the Red Juvenil de Juarez, which is a network of the most important NGO's in Juarez.
Planta has not identified competitors. Even though there are several organizations working towards education in Juarez, they are focusing on different approaches like art, social service or part time students.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
It has created impact among people who have been exposed to the idea, everyone wants to see it come alive, but it is Planta's idea still.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
The projected impact over the next years is to have most (85%) private and public schools in Juarez under Planta's empathy program; having reached most of the children in Juarez.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Some of the barriers we may encounter is the lack of trust in the model. People are sometimes very into the traditional models and innovative perspectives and models can seem like a threat. Also, most schools already have a class called Values, so they might consider the workshop to be too much emphasis on values and well-being instead of "actual" courses.

I have been considering how to change the world for a while now, and I think it started during my Master's. I attended the UN mandated University for Peace, and we used to talk about changing the world all the time. After giving it a lot of thought I realized what had me there was my education. The opportunities I had been given were amazing and that was why I was pursuing a Master's degree in beautiful Costa Rica. So I realized then that education is the most important thing for children to grow to be the best they can be. The problem was that it was not only a whatever education. Schools needed to teach what really mattered: LIFE. Being happy is the single most important thing I noticed schools were missing in their syllabus. Nobody cared about that, everyone cares about the money and being successful. Well, you cant be successful without being happy. That was when I decided I wanted to teach children about happiness, well-being, values and sustainability. That was my AHA! moment!

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Current trends in educational policy and practice are imbalanced and ill-suited to empower today’s youth as effective and engaged individuals and citizens. The heavy emphasis placed on STEM (science, technology, education, and math) has left little room for teaching the humanities and other fields. As well, education has turned into a one-size-fits-all institution relying on standardized testing and rote learning. Yet research demonstrates that exploring subjects like philosophy, civics, and learning through experience, expression, dialogue, and service best facilitates self and social knowledge (SSK). Only SSK promotes critical thinking, empathy, discourse, and social action - skills needed by active, aware, and flourishing individuals and members of communities.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
PEACE Project counterbalances current educational trends by providing an experiential and service-based learning program for youth (grade 6-12) focused upon the intersections of philosophy and social justice (i.e. identity, responsibility, democracy). Our curriculum is designed by undergraduates studying philosophy and/or education led by faculty in both fields. Via philosophical and social inquiry, reflective dialogue, informal group learning (visual and performance art, play, simulation) and integrated social action projects, PEACE promotes SSK and skills of analytic thinking and communication, perspective taking/sharing, self-reflection and regulation, and habits of social cooperation crucial for developing empathy. Our pedagogy is student-centered, incorporating multiple learning styles and socially engaged. Our approach reaches youth, provides current/future teachers skills to empower students, and guides research connecting college faculty to schools and community organizations.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Step 1: PEACE staff and faculty train PEACE Educators (philosophy/education majors) in curriculum development, informal education, and exploring philosophy/social justice with youth. Educators develop the skills and knowledge for promoting SSK, critical thinking, belief/value sharing, dialogue, and self/social awareness through activity based discussions.
Step 2: Educators create a 10-lesson unit exploring topics of social justice through a philosophical lens. The pilot unit "On Identity and Society" includes lessons and exploration of thinkers such as: 'What is Personal Identity?'(John Locke), 'Responsibility, Justice, and Difference' (Peter Singer), and 'Bridging the Gap' (Martin Buber).
Step 3: Educators work with school/community partners to test and implement the PEACE unit. In this year's pilot, we are working with over 45 NYC students at 2 partner sites. One lesson has students explore the role of empathy and mutual understanding in democratic discourse. Students photograph their peers to represent identity-based perspectives on social issues. Students then exhibit and engage in philosophical inquiry to practice the skills required for public dialogue.
Step 4: 'The Summit', a day of scholarship and service, joins PEACE students with the college community to explore issues and take part in community projects. Pilot theme: Identity, Discourse, and Democracy.
Step 5: Feedback will be conducted on training, curriculum, and Summit by all participants via quantitative and anecdotal evaluations. PEACE staff and faculty then analyze/report on collected data.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
PEACE has few competitors and peers. Pre-college philosophy initiatives by Montclair State and Mount Holyoke engage elementary students by reflecting on children's stories through critical dialogue while programs at other colleges (NYU, Washington U, UNC) do 'outreach' by having high school students take college-level courses or participate in 'ethics bowls'. Few of these programs incorporate social/emotional development or civic engagement as PEACE does - instead, merely focusing on the cognitive domain. Yet, current social justice and moral/character education initiatives lack the critical/analytic dimension to encourage their goals and develop thought. PEACE is the only program bringing together faculty/experts/majors in philosophy and education with communities to empower youth.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
PEACE has already begun to make a significant impact in the 6 months our pilot has been operating. Winfield F is one of the 45 students (grades 6-12) who has participated in PEACE Project at one of our 2 partner sites. After his third PEACE lesson, he approached his Educator expressing thanks saying 'philosophy has forced me to stop, question, listen, and think about myself, others, and how to be a better person.' Winfield (and the PEACE students) are not alone in benefiting from the project. Mr. Mesidor, one of four NYC school teachers working with PEACE at a partner site, commented: 'Where was PEACE when I was preparing to teach? I'd better engage my students to connect and think deeply with one another about the social issues facing society.' Rupert H, philosophy major and one of ten undergraduates in our pilot cohort of Educators says 'this experience has made me want to work as a high school teacher'. 8 faculty members have also begun to collaborate across departments and fields.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Our projected impact over the next three years is multidimensional. We hope to increase our number of college/school/community partners. By year three, we aim to collaborate with at least 3 colleges in total, each with their own 8 member faculty committee, 10 undergraduate Educators, and 3 partners (working with 6 teachers and 30-40 students at each site). Also, we would like to develop a website to host our current blog ('the diablogue') and make our curricular materials available for other colleges and teachers to bring PEACE into their communities. PEACE also hopes to expand to summer camps, youth shelters, and juvenile correctional facilities as part of our community partnerships. We also aim to develop an accredited professional development program for NYC school teachers.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Legislation like No Child Left Behind, America COMPETES, and Race to the Top has turned away private/government foundations from funding projects focused on teaching the humanities and other fields as well as initiatives not directly aimed at improving achievement on standardized tests. And, schools and community organizations are less willing to partner with and implement such projects for fear of losing their own funding. Our 3-prong approach to overcome such barriers is:
1: Integrate social media/tech component within PEACE service projects to attract schools and foundations to partner/sponsor PEACE.
2: Conduct research demonstrating the benefits of an experiential/service learning philosophy program to guide public policy/perception.
3: Increase crowd-source and foundation outreach.

My 'Aha!' moment came about rather organically. A few years ago, when I began to study philosophy at Brooklyn College, I also began to take on new responsibilities at a local community center in Brooklyn, developing and leading informal and experiential education programming for children and youth and designing and facilitating teen leadership groups focused on social justice and political action. After integrating topics from my philosophy studies into my youth work, I discovered that an experiential/service learning philosophy education challenged and engaged my students. My teens became more aware of and analytic about social issues, empathetic, and involved in community/civic action. Inspired, I continued this work on my own - unaware of the preexisting pre-college philosophy movement. But, when I learned that other pre-college philosophy programs existed yet did not incorporate service learning, group work, or cross-departmental collaboration, I realized the potential for PEACE.

La falta de apoyo e incentivos en la investigación y desarrollo biotecnológico que permitan lograr una mejor atención médica, especialmente para las mujeres en poblaciones desfavorecidas.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Continuar con el desarrollo y mejoramiento de los dispositivos construidos hasta el momento, los cuales generan Exo Bio Energías (EBE), que han estado permitiendo ayudar a curar la úlcera varicosa y el cólico menstrual sin el uso de medicinas o químicos, en menor tiempo (mayor efectividad que con los escasos y caros medicamentos), más baratos y con menos trauma al aplicarse (no invasivo), lo que le brinda al paciente una mejor calidad de vida y la posibilidad de reingresarse rápidamente a una vida social y productiva. Con menos personas enfermas, se aporta al país una mayor fuerza laboral.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Durante los años 2005 a 2008, se investiga, generan hipótesis, se diseña y se construyen 3 prototipos generadores de EBE, estos dispositivos fueron luego aplicados en el tratamiento a pacientes con úlcera varicosa, bajo los parámetros y supervisión del Centro Oncológico de Bucaramanga, y dirigidos por el Dr. José Luís Mayorca Castilla (Oncólogo). Se obtiene aval científico del comité ético científico de la institución. Durante este proceso no se utilizó medicina de ningún tipo, los resultados están soportados con las fotos tomadas antes, durante y después de las terapias y con los documentos entregados por la institución médica.
El 31 de julio, 2010, se radicó ante el INVIMA la solicitud de la licencia para utilizar en paciente humano, la cual está pendiente para su respuesta.

Desde joven mi curiosidad por los fenómenos médicos y fisiológicos ha estado presente; aunque me incliné por el estudio formal de la electrónica. Hace 6 años aproximadamente, decidí combinar estos 2 mundos y analizando el comportamiento eléctrico de las células, comprendí que a través de la inducción magnética controlada, podría ayudar a la célula a que mejorara su metabolismo. Construí los prototipos iniciales y las pruebas realizadas dieron resultados positivos, lo que me impulso a continuar con la investigación y desarrollo tecnológico.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Mejorar los dispositivos y aplicar bajo parámetros y protocolos médicos el uso de EBE en tratamiento de úlcera varicosa y cólico menstrual sin el uso de medicamentos, para lograr el aval científico de los mismos y masificar su producción.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
En el tratamiento del cólico menstrual, todas las mujeres que lo han recibido han obtenido alivio a su dolencia y con una sola sesión de 30 minutos, sin drogas, medicinas, inyecciones, ungüentos, cremas o pastillas. Para el tratamiento de la úlcera varicosa, se cuenta con las fotos tomadas antes, durante y después de las terapias, donde se evidencia la respuesta positiva, rápida, menos traumática y más eficiente que con los tratamientos químicos usualmente usados.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Lograr el aval médico y permisos correspondientes para el uso extendido de los dispositivos en clínicas, hospitales, centros de salud y médicos particulares, lo cual permitirá la realización de tratamientos más económicos y eficientes, permitiendo a su vez llegar a los estratos sociales más vulnerables.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Económicas. Para la construcción de los 3 prototipos que tengo actualmente, tuve que vender el apartamento y carro.
El no contar con una institución médica que apoye el proyecto, ya que la mayoría de los profesionales médicos, por el hecho de no usar medicinas han rechazado mis ideas.
Tampoco se pudo tener ayuda del estado, aunque ya se presentó el proyecto ante COLCIENCIAS en la convocatoria 2008, la respuesta del profesional que lo analizó fue que él no conocía los fenómenos que involucraban el uso de los dispositivos EBE, por lo cual no podía acompañarnos en el proceso investigativo.

Inicio (iniciativa piloto que acaba de empezar a ponerse en práctica)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
¿Cuál de las siguientes describe mejor la(s) barrera(s)s a la que da respuesta tu innovación? Elige hasta dos.
Acceso, Costo.
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
En Colombia, cerca del 6,4% de la población, según datos del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE, 2005), presenta una discapacidad física y el 29.3% de este grupo poblacional, presenta limitaciones permanentes para caminar o moverse.
Lo anterior presenta un panorama en el cual el acceso se convierte en la principal barrera para que la población con discapacidad pueda tener la atención necesaria y un proceso de Rehabilitación Integral. Es por esto, que la TELEREHABILITACION se vislumbra como una solución que permite llegar a las personas que se encuentran en las zonas rurales mas apartadas del país, en dónde más del 98% de eventos relacionados con minas antipersonal ocurren, afectando de manera directa su calidad de vida y su proceso de inclusión social.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
el proyecto de TELEREHABILITACION busca Cambiar la forma de prestar los servicios de salud especializados y las actividades focalizadas en la rehabilitación integral de poblaciones vulnerables tales como: víctimas sobrevivientes de minas antipersonal, personas en situación de discapacidad física, comunidades afectadas por el conflicto armado del país y que se encuentran en condición de desplazamiento ubicadas en regiones apartadas de nuestro país a través del programa SEMILLAS DE ESPERANZA el cual es un programa que utiliza la estrategia de rehabilitación basada en comunidad, RBC, para dar respuesta a las necesidades de este tipo de población en Colombia, promoviendo el desarrollo de la comunidad para conseguir su integración a la vida familiar, social y laboral.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Nuestra iniciativa busca prestar los servicios de rehabilitación integral desarrollados por CIREC soportado en TICs a través de nuestra red de SEMILLAS DE ESPERANZA facilitando la inclusión social de poblaciones vulnerables
Para implementar dicha iniciativa el proyecto se apoyara en la red SEMILLAS DE ESPERANZA y se basara en el desarrollo de un prototipo entre Bogotá y Tibu (norte de Santander una de las ciudades más afectadas por el conflicto y donde la población no puede acceder a servicios de salud especializada y actividades localizadas en rehabilitación) a partir de este prototipo se definirán los lineamientos y requerimientos necesarios para desarrollar este tipo de soluciones tecnológicas dentro de nuestro país en el marco de nuestras demás asociaciones.
Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se contemplan las siguientes etapas para desarrollar dicha iniciativa:
1.Fase 1: Diagnóstico, Capacitación y Divulgación (IDENTIFICACIÓN DE LOS REQUERIMIENTOS TIC y SELECCIÓN DEL CAPITAL TIC)
2.Fase 2: Puesta en marcha e investigación (AJUSTAR E INTEGRAR EL SERVICIO DE TELEREHABILITACION Y OPERACIÓN)
3.Fase 2: Prestación del servicio Y consolidación de Resultados (ANÁLISIS Y CONSOLIDACIÓN DE RESULTADOS)
Por último, es importante resaltar, que las fases no son independientes, sino que están relacionadas entre sí, proponiendo así una nueva forma en la prestación de atención en salud de rehabilitación física entre el usuario final y el profesional de la salud, mediante el empleo de las tecnologías de la telecomunicación y de la información TICs.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
El número estimado para el piloto de TIBU sería de unos 37833 usuarios entre los que se encuentran los procesos de PROTESIS, ORTESIS y AYUDAS TECNICAS, dichos datos son suministrados por informes de las brigadas de salud desarrolladas por CIREC y la red semillas de esperanza.
Colombia en el campo de la telemedicina está realizando una incursión por apropiarse en este tipo de soluciones, tanto del sector financiero como el educativo un ejemplo de ello es la universidad Nacional y la fundación Santa fe, pero ninguna de ellas tiene un conocimiento robusto frente a rehabilitación física como lo tenemos nosotros CIREC, y es por esto que nosotros seriamos los pioneros en implementar telerehabilitacion en el país, basándonos en nuestros procedimientos y en nuestras buenas practicas.
