Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are using media to boost volunteerism in the United States:
Almost everyone wants to do good, but how many of us actually manage to? Apparently, only 26 percent, according to studies on American volunteerism. For many of us with full-time jobs and kids, spending a chunk of time each week at an organization, no matter how beloved, simply isn't feasible. But what if you could do something meaningful for a cause you care about, while waiting in the grocery line or on the bus to work?

Offering initiative of combining language & media course for teens which establish community radio in schools promoting Godly characters, communicate in 2 languages while also promote environmental dan disaster awareness. And with INTERNET we can global. Kindly watch us: www.youtube.com/carlystiana.
Problema
Leader arises from facing two hot issues of our country: DISASTERS i.e. Corruption that embedded for years and natural disasters. On government levels, there are agencies both governmental and NGO that are focusing on corrective actions.
I would like to focus on children and youths as they are the future indonesian leaders. As for natural disasters, we focus on creating awareness and preparedness.
Solución
We believe in the process and using communication in education as the process, media as a tool in transforming communities. We created LEADER ABC as a module which can be adopted and duplicated by schools anywhere in the world (because we use English as the means of communication). LEADER ABC is combining media & language course which eventually establish community radios run by teens.
Its innovation lies on how media contribute richly into our education system and the teens themselves are the agent of change. With regards to RADIO innovation, INTERNET comes in and enables us to not only listen to radio but also watching radio.
Ejemplo
The video attached in this changeshop gives visual example on how different schools do social-learning dialogue on one particular issue: corruption.
We teach media and language in schools as their afterschool activities and after a year, students can run radio community within their schools but also extended on social media networks.
Impacto
Students at school but with social media & internet we can actually do global social change movement.
Mercado
Secondary schools all over Indonesia.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Creating LEADER website which allow sponsorships to be featured on that web. Sponsors will not only benefit being branded on the web but also sponsors with the same vision in education will benefit more.

Despite efforts to achieve equality, women still earn less money than men; they are over looked for promotions and are not likely to carry the title of CEO or President at major corporations. Among the Fortune 500 companies, women only hold 18 CEO positions, and before 1996 all CEOs were men.
The presence of women in these positions continues to shock and awe, further solidifying women as the “other” when it comes to positions of power. There’s a cycle of normalcy and complacency that exists around these sensitive topics.

Utilizing mentorship, personal empowerment, and an increase in information, women can mobilize through empowering themselves to ultimately break down the patriarchal structures of society and claim their power.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
*To build out our ambassador program increasing HerAgenda.com's reach in other cities.
*Build partnerships with corporations to identify ways to help young women lead and also to post their job opportunities for our network.
*Increase the frequency of stories posted and original in-depth features by bringing on a managing editor.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Since relaunching the website, HerAgenda.com has increased it's reach and also increased it's online and offline initiatives. With that, many have reached out to us regarding partnerships, and also to join our team. As of now, we have 20 contributing writers, a social media manager, an intern and two video production photogs. As the leader of this company, I am working on trying to find effective ways to keep the team motivated. I am looking to find ways keep them engaged and contributing new ideas, while also still having the energy to develop and produce our day to day projects. We recently started developing our offline initiatives in the form of quarterly panels. We also now host a monthly twitter chat series. Each project requires innovative thinking and top tier management. I also feel that the website could increase the resources and information we have available, but it has been difficult finding ways to motivate the team to invest in those objectives.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The support from American Express will be focused on my organization overall. We are looking for dynamic ways to manage and engage our team while also looking for effective ways to brand and market our company. The support from the experienced executives at American Express would be beyond helpful. It would be the perfect investment we need to grow and move forward as a company.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
As the founder, I've done research in the area of managing and growing a team. I also have set up a few systems to help streamline our process and communications. However I have not been afforded the opportunity to work with outside consultants. Having the viewpoint of someone from the outside of the company would be beyond amazing because they offer a fresh perspective, and yet bring with them years of experience.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We are telling the stories of women succeeding in their industries and using their story to motivate and inspire the next generation of women leaders. We have provided content to help millennial women in addition to exposing then to information about the latest job opportunities, internships, grants and conferences to help them get to their next level. We recently hosted a panel where 100 women gathered to hear the career stories of 4 dynamic women. (see that panel here: http://heragenda.com/event-recap-the-making-of-her-agenda/) We also hosted a laptop raffle contest sponsored by Microsoft. The laptop was given to a young lady who recently gave away her computer to her little sister for college. But she needed a laptop to work on starting her company. We also have 20,000 page views.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We will have a sustainable team and a strong brand strategy in place to allow us to grow our reach and inspire even more millennial women to never let anything slow heir agendas! We will strengthen our core initiatives and increase productivity in our team. We will also then have a strong foundation to launch new projects such as the Her Agenda ambassador program. We are also planning on raising a round of funding and need to strengthen our team and product before doing so.

Created on 03/31/2013 by dbunton
Millions of citizens worldwide have limited access to news, information, and new technology. This problem causes decreased citizen participation in action leading to social change. Ethical Citizen Media (ECM) solves this problem by empowering marginalized citizens through the use of smartphones, social media, and traditional news mediums. ECM makes sharing information fast, easy, affordable, and fun. Since 2011, ECM has certified more than 200 'ECMJs' (Ethical Citizen Media Journalists) in 10 countries. What's innovative about ECM is that it makes everyone a journalist.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Ethical Citizen Media needs to be marketed so that people know it's available. The mission is clear, our organization is solid, and ECM's structure has been proven effective. In order to empower more communities, and offer ECM as a service, ECM must be recognized for its ability and effectiveness. Although there is an online global presence, ECM needs to reach rural communities where people have basic and traditional media. Ethical Citizen Media is news for the people, gathered and reported by the people. We want to be a source of news, and contractors for large media companies, as well as train people in impoverished cultures to stay informed.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The possibilities remain open for the relationship with American Express to evolve. If Eway is selected for the American Express Serve2Gether Consulting project, the focus would first be on growth and expansion of the Ethical Citizen Media project. For example, American Express would sponsor or support ECM. In return, Eway will brand ECM with AmEx as partners/sponsors, with the option for overall organization collaborations on future projects, products, and services.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Since the inception of Eway Entertainment & Foundation, we have explored various partnerships and collaborations. We have volunteer advisers who provide consultation on issues ranging from products and services, to program specifics. Eway is in its third year, and is advancing from start-up to growth, most of the focus is shifting to sustainability, hence why clear programs and services, and developing a differentiated position in the market is imperative for sustainability and existence.
Adequate recruitment, staffing, retention, expert consultation, and collaborations increase success.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Ethical Citizen Media has received acceptance in media communities worldwide, ECM is regarded by many industry professionals as a reliable source for global news and information. In addition to having trained and certified several hundred "ECMJs", ECM uses multiple media platforms and aggregates, Ethical Citizen Media has established itself as a credible resource for the average citizen, as well as mainstream media corporations and professionals, We're talking prime time anchor people, and the most influential social media personalities.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Ethical Citizen Media is slowly, but surely, becoming a household brand. A relationship with American Express will only lend additional credibility to the project, for both Eway Entertainment Foundation and American Express. Although the situation would be win/win, it's obvious that such a relationship would contribute greater credibility and integrity to the Ethical Citizen Media project. Professional support from AmEx would contribute directly to the growth, sustainability, and positive impact of ECM.

Many communities believe that they are prepared for emergencies when, in truth, they are not. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in “Preparing Your Community” (2012), challenges communities to create emergency preparedness activities and to provide outreach and education. FEMA encourages communities to prepare for man-made and natural emergencies, crises, and disasters by building a corps of trained civilian volunteers that would serve to build capacity for first responders, should an emergency situation occur.

Web-Based Collaborative Community Asset Map for Rural Communities

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Many communities believe that they are prepared for emergencies when, in truth, they are not. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in “Preparing Your Community” (2012), challenges communities to create emergency preparedness activities and to provide outreach and education. FEMA encourages communities to prepare for man-made and natural emergencies, crises, and disasters by building a corps of trained civilian volunteers that would serve to build capacity for first responders, should an emergency situation occur. The Dobbins/Oregon House community is more than 20 miles from the nearest town-based disaster services. A whole family and community approach using collaborative asset mapping would encourage authentic dialogue, promote resilient relationships, and strengthen capacity.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
I have prepared this project as a result of research during three graduate courses this semester (Spring 2013) in the MLIS program, San José State University School of Library and Information Science—Disaster Informatics with Chris Hagar, Hyperlinked Library with Michael Stephens, and Grant Writing with Patricia Wong. I created a proposal to DOHIF Board Vice Chair, Greg Holman, and received a favorable response and a request to meet to discuss the project. It is possible that by documenting each step of the project, from initial preparations and support from Serve2Gether to a successful launch of a community-created knowledge commons embedded in a web-based asset map, that other rural communities would be inspired and empowered to create community asset maps as aids to resilience and authentic dialogue among their diverse and often isolated populations.

Opportunity Analysis
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
In order to design a web-based collaborative asset mapping project headquartered in a volunteer organization and community hub (The Alcouffe Center), we will need strategies to create and sustain powerful and resilient relationships among community members in order to make the map a truly "whole community approach." We will need help with strategies for collaboration among active volunteers, for identifying new and possibly hesitant participants, for offering opportunities to disenfranchised community members, for offering involvement to disabled, very young, and elderly community members, for attracting participation from community members who may not think that they need community. Our rural community has a broad diversity of culture, heritage, education, and socioeconomic levels, and these factions need ways to come together. With the collaborative map as the focus, we will need help with strategies to bring whole community and whole family commitment to the project.

Integrity/straightforwardness
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express would be focused on developing the strategies to communicate the idea, the benefits, and the outcomes from a collaboratively-created, web-based community asset map so well, that a highly diverse, rural population will come together in "whole community" participation. As an extra, it would be wonderful to have American Express available to consult on how to best document the entire process as an instructional tool and pilot project for other rural communities.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I personally have worked with Federal and State consultants to set up and operate independent Federal- and State-Reimbursed Free and Reduced Meal Programs for a Yuba County Public Charter School. The DOHIF Board and The Alcouffe Center volunteers work with outside consultants to create and maintain the amazing community center and property in Oregon House. My experience with GIS (ESRI, with FEMA) as an educator, student, and independent contractor and my research into the Asset-Based Community Development movement out of Northwestern University influenced me to design this project.

3.
Greater community resilience and stronger intra-community dependencies - greater preparedness
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Dr. Chris Hagar (Disaster Informatics), Dr. Michael Stephens (Hyperlinked Library), and Dr. Patricia Wong (Grant Writing) have all encouraged me to actively pursue this project because of FEMA's recent directives focused on community preparedness. When I presented the project proposal and description to DOHIF Board Vice Chair Greg Holman, he wanted to meet within two days after receiving the proposal. The facilities, community volunteers, hardware, and software are all in place and could be put into action quickly. Professional guidance for properly communicating the project to the community and deeply involving diverse members of the community in a collaborative endeavor is missing.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The project has a much greater chance of creating an example (through the documentation) of whole community approach and collaborative asset mapping, if we have professional support for designing strategies to create and strengthen relationships. Word of mouth, flyers in the local store, phone calls... are all tactics... but they are not strategies that can scale, and they are not really a strategic "whole." We need professional support to make this a "relationship" success.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
GPI is committed to solving two global challenges: the decline of quality international news and empowerment of women.
A number of factors separate GPI’s work from others in the field. Foremost among them is GPI’s unique training-to-employment program. While many international development and media organizations provide training, few offer opportunities for on-going practical application of learned skills. GPI not only teaches traditional reporting skills, digital literacy and advanced writing skills, but each woman who completes the training program receives an offer of employment at a living wage and goes on to work for GPI’s signature publication, the Global Press Journal.
GPI has trained and employed 133 women as professional journalists across 26 developing countries.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
GPI’s top three priorities in the next year are to (1) launch the Global Press Journal’s new syndication service to market our unique content to news outlets around the globe, enabling dramatic growth in readership and potential for social impact. Syndication will also allow GPI to move towards greater sustainability through earned revenue generation; (2) invest in the continued professional development of GPI trainees and Journal reporters by providing advanced training to every reporter in our network; and (3) equip every reporter with a laptop, camera, and elevated internet access, enabling increased multimedia training and news coverage.

Need #2
Digital Marketing Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We are segmenting the GPI brand to include the newly created Global Press Journal in order to elevate our identity as a world class news agency. Together, the Global Press Institute, Global Press Journal, and Global Press News Service will demonstrate that the basic problems of the news industry – quality, ethics, source access, and economics – can be solved with a low-cost solution.
The Journal will give readers a unique news experience by offering a better reader experience. A new syndication platform, the News Service, will market unique content to news outlets around the world, increasing social impact (by drawing more readers to the Journal’s content) and long-term organizational sustainability (by monetizing our news product). Finally, the Institute will continue to focus on training and empowering women.
Visitors come to the current website for a variety of reasons, but the mixture of the nonprofit message and original news content is confusing and diminishes the value of our journalism. Brand segmentation will change that, but due to the complexity of our branding we need expertise to develop the right strategy for refining and executing it well.
1.
Creative, collaborative working style and perspective
2.
Accountability and reliability
3.
Honesty and professionalism
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Brand strategy and digital marketing strategy will focus on the entire organization, which is critical to the success of GPI’s new brand segmentation and the launch of our syndication platform. These two types of support will affect all parts of the organization, from our news syndication sales to our staff development and internal identity.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Yes, GPI has repositioned its brand before. A few years ago, we changed our name from the Press Institute for Women in the Developing World to the Global Press Institute to improve our branding and shift the perception of GPI as a primarily women’s empowerment organization to one focused first and foremost on journalism. We did not engage a consultant for that process, but we have worked with outside consultants on web development, organizational strategy and management, impact evaluation, and development strategy, and we have received pro bono support on a handful of occasions.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
More than 25% of GPI stories in the last two years have catalyzed direct action, sparking social protest, provoking international attention to issues first covered by GPI, and even changing laws in two countries. For example, in 2011, when the Parliament of Nepal passed an anti-discrimination law regarding inter-caste marriages, the Prime Minister’s legal team credited a GPI reporter with forcing the issue into the national dialogue.
GPI’s 2012 reporter survey demonstrated the impact on the lives of our reporters: 84% said that they are more respected in their communities; 90% said they have a sense of transformational personal accomplishment; 100% reported having a greater sense of basic journalism principles and ethics after GPI training; and 79% reported greater computer literacy.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
GPI aims to increase demand for our news coverage, grow our readership, and deepen our reader engagement as a result of having a clearer brand segmentation and digital marketing strategy, all of which would ultimately contribute to catalyzing social change and creating greater local and international awareness about the developing world.

Climate Access: Building a network of climate leaders

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Not nearly enough progress has been made in addressing climate change despite scientific consensus and the many solutions at our disposal. Climate leaders in nonprofit organizations and government agencies need effective tools to deal with opponents, mobilize diverse constituencies, shift energy behaviors, and prepare for climate impacts.
Climate Access is focused on improving the ability of climate leaders to engage the public in making the transition to low-carbon, resilient communities. We take an innovative “network of networks” approach and work to expand the base of support for climate action by providing practitioners with hands-on technical assistance, public engagement tools, problem-solving sessions, and training in climate communications and behavior change strategies.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1. To diversify the base of support for climate action by determining how best to communicate about climate issues with stakeholders from low-income communities, youth groups, communities of color, faith groups, and public health associations.
2. To publish a strategic guide on engaging the public in preparing for climate impacts based on research findings and interviews with leading climate practitioners.
3. To develop in-person climate communication and behavior change training sessions in key locations where we have concentrations of Climate Access members and that offer strategic base-building opportunities.

Staffing Capabilities
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We developed Climate Access to test our “network of networks” concept and ensure there was a demand for field building by key climate players. The concept has been strongly validated and demand is now far exceeding our capacity. In addition, we realize that we have only begun to scratch the surface of what is needed in terms of providing thought leadership, training, tools, opportunities for peer-learning exchanges, and campaign coordination. As we seek to grow and scale our impact, an analysis of our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as well as how to best generate sustainable funding for our initiative will help us succeed at this critical juncture.
The network currently consists of more than 1,500 practitioners from nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions primarily in the US and Canada, but also includes members in 40 other countries. Our small team would benefit greatly from the expertise of an American Express executive to help us develop a new strategic and financial plan aimed at expanding services to our existing membership and reaching an even wider network in the pursuit of public engagement and climate solutions.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express will be focused on the Climate Access network, which is an initiative of The Resource Innovation Group’s Social Capital Project.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Our team developed the launch strategy for the Climate Access Network (www.climateaccess.org). Our advisory board reviewed the strategy; however, no external consultants were involved. We did work with design consultants when creating the site and continue to hire developers when needed.
The launch strategy served us well but must be updated to reflect network growth, funding needs, competitive efforts, and opportunities for collaboration. We are interested in determining how to add fee-based member services and in exploring opportunities for funding from corporate foundations.

1.
Develop tools and training programs to help climate leaders build public support for climate policies and energy programs.
2.
Determine the most effective ways for climate leaders to communicate about reducing and preparing for climate impacts.
3.
Track best practices in the field to accelerate learning and incorporate into the skill-building and technical support programs.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
In our first 18 months, we engaged 1,500 leaders from the most influential nonprofit and government agencies in the US and Canada. They are using our tools, training programs, and technical services and are seeing greater success as a result. For example, WWF used our work to create the Earth Hour City Challenge. We worked with ICLEI to help address attacks to local sustainability and climate plans from those opposed to the UN Agenda 21. And we pulled network members together in the wake of events such as Hurricane Sandy, to help these climate leaders develop a public response. Our guides are used by thousands of practitioners and as a result, our recommendations, such as using the term climate disruption and adopting a climate preparation frame are shaping the public conversation.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The American Express Serve2Gether professional support will allow us to develop a new strategic and financial plan for Climate Access so we can meet the needs of our current members, as well as expand our efforts. In particular, this planning effort will provide the foundation to help us launch a national, in-person climate communication and behavior change training program so we can accelerate the ability of practitioners to build public support for climate action. Through this program, we will be sharing our insights on how to connect with the public around climate impacts and leverage that concern to drive efforts to reduce carbon. Finally, we will be able to increase our ability to track and measure the effectiveness of efforts we have contributed to as well as to the field as a whole.

Entre otros, el premio Sarmiento del Senado de la Nación, por el trabajo de prevención en Cáncer de Mama
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.
La fundacion comienza con la experiencia de la enfermedad en el hijo de la fundadora, Marta Artigas, hace ya 16 años. Inicialmente se recorrian hospitales públicos entregando medicación recibida en donación, y se hacía acompañamiento emocional al paciente y los familiares. Luego se creció ampliando el foco del trabajo a la incidencia pública para aumentar la escala y mejorar el impacto.

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.?
La iniciativa se basa en capitalizar el trabajo de acompañamiento a pacientes, y desde allí haber podido detectar los principales nudos críticos en el camino al acceso al tratamiento. En este sentido, proponemos ampliar y difundir en forma masiva y sostenida el espacio en facebook No recibo mi tratamiento, para atraer el interés de comunicadores y demás actores del sector salud. Pretendemos desde allí generar conciencia y un estado de alerta permanente en relación a los problemas de acceso que pacientes que dependen de la cobertura pública pueden encontrar en el camino.
El paciente hospitalario en general posee pocas herramientas para encarar y sostener la trayectoria que requiere el tratamiento. Sobre todo sostenerlo, ya que puede contar con apoyo de familiares y amigos, pero al provenir de contextos vulnerables, es difícil sostener este apoyo. Esto tiene que ver falta de ingresos suficientes, poca capacidad de abstracción para interpretar y complir los trámites muchas veces engorrosos. En este campo, el rol de acompañamiento de las asociaciones de pacientes es clave, tanto por el apoyo emocional como logístico para cumplimentar todos los requerimientos.
Entonces, al no poder llegar a todos los pacientes, proponemos escalar esta experiencia ya desarrollada, pero instalarla no frente a una coyuntura determinada de crisis, sino en lo cotidiado, extendiéndola a otras patologías y sus respectivas asociaciones con presencia en todo el territorio nacional.
Entendemos que esta estrategia representa una innovación: promover una visión con centro en el paciente.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Mantenemos los brazos ocupados en lo cotidiano, pero la mirada está puesta en el largo plazo. Para atender esta demanda es que recurrimos a las redes sociales como herramienta de presencia permanente, de bajo costo y de sencilla operación.
Muchas iniciativas tienen al paciente en el centro, de hecho todas las asociaciones compartimos ese enfoque, pero el trabajo se suele acotar a un espacio físico, o bien a campañas de prevención o promoción de la vida sana. Con esta herramienta logramos y vamos a profundizar, dar respuestas puntuales a miles de casos sin necesidad de un acompañamiento personalizado como trabajamos en los dos hospitales públicos donde tenemos presencia física.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
En cuanto al sistema, las redes sociales son la herramienta necesaria, y su administración nos es familiar y accesible.
Dentro de los factores internos destacamos el compromiso de los miembros y voluntarios de la organización. La sobrevida que hoy ofrecen los tratamientos para muchos enfermos de cáncer, brinda la posibilidad de contar con el compromiso de los pacientes que atravesado exitosamente el tratamiento.
Ese compromiso se traslada a su vez a familiares y conocidos, que se suman a las tareas de colaboración con mucho entusiasmo y responsabilidad. Este es el espíritu que se respira en ACIAPO en el trabajo cotidiano. A eso, le hemos sumado profesionalismo y expertise en la incidencia en políticas públicas.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
En 16 años de historia la organización ha debido innovar permanentemente por moverse en ambientes de crisis y transformaciones permanentes. Los servicios de oncología de hospitales públicos tienen desafíos todos los días para sostener su trabajo. Al tener nosotros que acompañar y respaldar a los pacientes, hemos a su vez desarrollado esta habilidad de adaptación.
Respecto de la iniciativa entonces, el crecimiento lo planteamos en base al compromiso con el que contamos desde la gente que hoy nos acompaña, pero además con el esfuerzo y compromiso de quienes vamos a ir sumando, sabiendo que las responsabilidades asumidas van a ser debidamente cumplimentadas. Tenemos como fortaleza este compromiso y la difusión para la mejora en el acceso a los tratamientos, es para nosotros una causa.

Existe en Argentina cobertura universal para la gran mayoría de las principales patologías (a través del PMO http://www.sssalud.gov.ar/index/index.php?cat=pmo&opc=pmoprincipal). Existe el derecho resguardado en el marco de una ley. Los inconvenientes de acceso a los tratamientos tienen que ver con problemas de implementación, y de prioridades de agenda pública. Una o dos veces por año, hay serios problemas en acceder a los tratamientos que dependen de la provisión del Estado. Hemos podido constatar que estas crisis pueden resolverse favorablemente con presión desde la opinión pública, a partir del testimonio de los afectados. Queremos ampliar esta experiencia a otras patologías y a todo el territorio nacional.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
Sostener y difundir en todo el territorio nacional, nuestro espacio en las redes sociales "No recibo mi tratamiento". Vamos a realizarlo mediante el contacto a través de otras organizaciones de pacientes y de la presencia en los medios masivos de comunicación. En este proceso vamos a ir consolidando la iniciativa como referente en términos de acceso para tratamientos. En la medida en que logremos consolidarlo vamos además creando una red de organizaciones de pacientes que compartimos una preocupación común: el acceso en tiempo y forma a los tratamientos. Esto nos va a permitir llevar la voz de los pacientes allí donde no puede llegar, y poner en primer plano la realidad cotidiana de la salud pública.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Nuestra visión es un mundo sin cáncer, y nuestra misión es mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
Nuestros objetivos generales son:
- asistir a los pacientes en prosecución de los tratamientos para que los mismo se desarrollen en tiempo y forma;
- asistir un creciente volumen de pacientes;
- trabajar para lograr excelencia médica en las consultas;
- evitar los traslados por carencia de recursos porque atenta con la continuidad de los tratamientos.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Nos proponemos incidir en la agenda pública llevando allí las necesidades de los pacientes, y sus invconvenientes en el acceso a los tratamientos. Ampliando la iniciativa a otras patologías y a todo el territorio nacional, nos aseguramos la continuidad de las comunicaciones en una misma línea de trabajo, y no buscar sostener el espacio con novedades del ámbito de la salud pero que no tienen que ver con el acceso.
Desde esta influencia en la agenda pública se busca incidir en la agenda de gobierno para que la selección de las prioridades no afecte la provisión elemental que requiere el cumplimiento de la ley vigente.
Buscamos entonces generar un modelo botton-up de incidencia a partir de la experiencia cotidiana de las organizaciones de pacientes.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Directamente:
- los pacientes con problemas de acceso;
- sus familiares y entorno cercano;
- las organizaciones de pacientes.
Indirectamente:
- la sociedad en su conjunto.
Un tratamiento interrumpido representa un enorme costo para todo el sistema. Cuando la provisión se reestablece, esa medicación muy probablemente no sirva. Se deben repetir estudios y volver a prescribir en el nuevo contexto, muchas veces con la enfermedad avanzada. Este es un sistema en el que "todos pierden".
La iniciativa que buscamos potenciar representa una interface que facilita los mecanismos de incentivos y promueve que el Estado cumpla en tiempo y forma los compromisos asumidos por ley, al tiempo que vela por adecuado aceso de los pacientes a los tratamientos necesarios.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Se trata de un enfoque botton-up como fuera ya mencionado.
Por un lado se promueve la visión paciente-céntrica, colocando en el centro de la escena la calidad de vida del paciente.
Además se facilita e incentiva la participación de los pacientes, velando por sus intereses. De esta forma es el propio paciente y su entorno sensibilizado, los que se ponen al frente de su problema y a la vez colaboran con una causa mas amplia, incluyendo indirectamente en su reclamo, la situación de otros pacientes que estén enfrentando situaciones similares.
Este enfoque de alinear actores muestra una potencia relevante al ser difundido, y permite aumentar la escala de impacto.
Finalmente, las herramientas de comunicación disponibles facilitan estas acciones.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
- Acompañamiento a pacientes en hospitales públicos: tanto para los aspectos emocionales como para facilitar los procesos administrativos necesarios.
- Mantener relaciones fluídas con autoridades y con las comunidades de profesionales (médicos y enfermeras).
- Promover sinergias con otras organizaciones de pacientes.
- Generar acciones de incidencia pública que persigan mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
La experiencia de campo de la fundación fue imponiendo una agenda más amplia, buscando incidir en cuestiones más estructurales. En ACIAPO se vive esto con asumir una responsabilidad mayor, que implica capitalizar la experiencia de base.
Todas estas actividades están enfocadas en el acceso y en la mejora de las condiciones de vida de los pacientes.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Nuestros pares son las organizaciones de pacientes, que trabajan en oncologia y en otras patologías para esta nueva etapa que buscar ampliar el espectro y extenderlo además a toda la Argentina.
No se avisoran problemas que puedan provenir de nuestros pares, al contrario son aliados en esto.
El Estado puede percibir esta iniciativa como una amenaza (ya lo ha hecho y así lo ha manifestado), pero nuestra visión es que sólo en la mirada de corto plazo podemos ser percibidos como una tal. Para el mediano y largo plazo, este espacio es un aporte que vela por los intereses de los pacientes, y permite, si bien no garantizar, contar con mayores probabilidades de cumplimiento de las normativas vigentes. Todo esto redunda en un sistema más eficiente, y en mejor calidad de vida para los pacientes.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Los avances de la tecnología, los tratamientos personalizados, y el consecuente aumento de los costos del sistema, representa una amenaza para las posibilidades de acceso. La salud pública enfrenta estos dilemas hoy, y en mayor medida a futuro.
Esta iniciativa, sin estar directamente relacionada, puede ser unos de los espacios en que este tipo de conflictos se manifiesten. Y eso es positivo para dar el debate, por su concepción paciente-céntrica y por la visibilidad del espacio.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
La estrategia de crecimiento se basa en:
- alianzas con organizaciones de pacientes de otras patologías;
- alianzas con organizaciones de pacientes de otras provincias;
- difusión en medios masivos de comunicación.
Estas acciones apuntan a aumentar la cantidad de likes que se sumen al espacio (actualmente son cerca de 9.000).
Estas acciones requieren reuniones presenciales en su mayoría.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Ya hemos experimentado el potencial de esta herramienta, al revertir una situación de interrupción en los tratamientos, hacia fines de 2010. Luego hemos trabajado en la difusión en crisis similares, y también alimentando el espacio con noticias relacionadas, aunque no necesariamente sobre temas de acceso. Por ello vamos a sumar otras patologías y ampliar al territorio nacional.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
- Incidir en la agenda de gobierno a través de la influencia en la agenda pública.
Para ello vamos a:
- Instalar la iniciativa como espacio de referencia para temas de acceso a tratamientos en salud.
Para lograr ello aspiramos a:
- alcanzar los 100.000 likes.
Estos objetivos encadenados tienen como denominador común mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Para el corto plazo (2013) tenemos una agenda cargada de visitas y contactos con diversas organizaciones. Estas actividades consisten en reuniones y viajes al interior del país. El objetivo es lograr su compromiso con pertenecer a la iniciativa y colaborar con la difusión del espacio.
Para el largo plazo (2016) aspiramos a alcanzar los 100.000 likes. Y en el proceso ir generando acciones de incidencia pública relacionadas con respuestas a la coyuntura, y a resultado de las sinergias que aparezcan al compartir agendas con otras organizaciones. Hemos ya comenzado a recorrer este camino, y creemos firmemente en el enorme potencial que hay en esto de compartir agendas.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Desde su implementación en 2010 la iniciativa ha lorgado revertir una crisis en la provisión por parte del banco de drogas de la provincia de Buenos Aires.
Ese impacto si bien es difícil de cuantificar, es muy relevante ya que logró que miles de pacientes retomen su tratamiento. Luego la iniciativa fue alimentada con noticias no siempre vinculadas a acceso. Pero ello si bien nos ha permitido mantener la cantidad de público, no nos ha permitido crecer acorde a lo que necesitamos para mejorar el impacto.
Aun asi la experiencia acumulada nos permite validar el modelo de intervención. En una escala mayor, el impacto va a poder consolidar el espacio que aspiramos de referencia para el interés de los pacientes.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
La ventaja de las redes sociales radica en poder cuantificar la evolución del impacto. Lo mismo con la presencia en los medios de comunicación masiva.
Respecto del impacto, también es factible evaluar su efectividad, mediante la reacción, redireccionamiento o rediseño de políticas públicas relacionadas con el acceso a los tratamientos.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Sí, claro que sí. Allí donde se contacten organizaciones locales legitimadas y con un acabado conocimiento de los inconvenientes que enfentan los pacientes en su camino de acceso al tratamiento.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
- Compromiso de organizaciones de pacientes confirmado y en marcha.
- Contar con la iniciativa instalada como espacio de referencia en lo relacionado con los problemas de acceso a los tratamientos.
- Presencia estable en medios de comunicación masiva.
- Capacidad de reacción ante eventuales inconvenientes de acceso.
- Haber alcanzado los 50.000 likes para 2014 y los 100.000 para 2015

PACE Society Outreach Project (POP) aims to reduce violence experienced by street-level sex workers and engage sex workers by providing housing, job, employment, health and crisis support. Survival sex workers are the most visible and vulnerable of all sex workers. They experience the highest number of assaults and sexual assaults of any population group perpetrated by partners, patrons, pimps, dealers, other sex workers, and members of the public. Violence against survival sex workers in Vancouver continues to be a problem.

PACE Society Outreach Project (POP) aims to reduce violence experienced by street-level sex workers and engage sex workers by providing housing, job, employment, health and crisis support. Survival sex workers are the most visible and vulnerable of all sex workers. They experience the highest number of assaults and sexual assaults of any population group perpetrated by partners, patrons, pimps, dealers, other sex workers, and members of the public. Violence against survival sex workers in Vancouver continues to be a problem. Stigma and criminalization prevent accurate reporting of the number of survival sex workers that encounter violence. PACE Society supports and engages over 100 members, all of whom self-identify as survival sex workers, by using peer-to-peer education and support
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
A self-initiated PACE Strategic Planning session in July of 2012 identified the following as top priorities for PACE Society in the coming year:
1. Branding: scope and identity (see below)
2. Financial Management: sustainable and diverse fundraising options
3. Administrative cohesion: developing the relationship between board of directors and staff
With the Supreme court appeal of the Bedford decision this June 2013, strengthening and developing organizations like PACE Society is more timely than ever and will ensure that sex workers continue to receive the support services they require.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Performance Management
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Branding refers to the concept of a clear identity linked to what PACE does. For example, when people think of sex worker support agencies, is PACE and our logo foremost in people’s minds? Does the PACE tagline on the website accurately reflect who we are and what we do?
Two possible pathways of support services include:
1. Should PACE diversify to serve a larger community and should our definition of sex work not be limited to survival sex work (no mention of survival in our mission statement)? With the closing of PEERS Vancouver, many sex workers wishing to exit have fewer options than ever. Where will they go for resume/cover letters etc.?
2. Should PACE remain targeted to survival sex workers? In wanting to be able to help any sex worker that comes in the door/calls the organization do we run the risk of scope creep and staff burnout?Also, how does PACE maintain connections with survival sex workers who don’t currently access our services?
Lastly, It is important to understand valid versus questionable research as it relates to our population. Misinformation exists in our community; do we have a responsibility to dispel myths by offering relevant, factual research?
3.
Community based Collaboration
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support through American Express' Serve2Gether Consulting service will be used to develop a creative and sustainable solution to the issue of branding for the overall organization with a specific focus on support services. Support services is an umbrella portfolio that encompasses violence prevention workshops both for sex workers and for community groups including the Vancouver Police Department, safety coach training and mentoring, resume, skills training and job finding resources, and the PACE Outreach Project (POP) which engages sex workers in the environments where they are working.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
PACE contracted an external consultant to facilitate a Strategic Planning meeting in 2012. An Environmental Scanning process labeled PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) and a management tool called SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) were used to analyze and brainstorm areas of interest and concentration. In addition, PACE Society requires staff and support workers to submit monthly reports on support services, violence prevention and outreach as well as an annual report for each position. However, no solid plan has been laid out or acted upon.

1.
Brand PACE Society in a way that makes it more accessible to survival sex workers who need to access services
2.
Ensure PACE Society remains in a financially able to not only maintain but broaden its services in response to increased demand
3.
Enure that PACE Society has a presence in research and community efforts that inform policy regarding sex work
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
- Provision of in-house safety workshops to over 360 participants with 75% of participants reporting a feeling of new confidence in their safety plans and self defense skills. (Report available upon request)
- Development and upkeep of website, facebook page and twitter account to establish a social media presence. Currently, board members and staff sit on and are connected to over 15 community based initiatives including UBC and CDI College, Vancouver Police Department recruits, BC Coalition of People with Disabilities, and LAPP (Local Area Planning Process).
- community engagement: through hosting speakers such as Dr. Gabor Mate which resulted in the engagement of over 100 community members on addictions and sex work.
- POP and support services that engage members and non-members
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Professional support from American Express will allow PACE Society to balance growth with cost by defining a scope of engagement (ie a clear branding strategy). This will be measured by greater depth of understanding concerning the environment PACE is operating within, as well as a clear assessment of future service needs and delivery. Success will include diversification of funding sources based on need as well as the development of long term solutions to physical space ("No space, no PACE). It may also address the potential for satellite (franchise) centres outside of the downtown eastside (in Victoria, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, etc). Ultimately, PACE Society support services aims to provide uncompromising support to it's members and relevant, valid information to it's community partners.

United Global Change Maker: Empowers Youth and Communities to energize each other through Education, Leadership, Local community service work and Media.
Created on 02/21/2013 by PINGDintshang
Dintshang, Setswana for "What's Happening?", is a project presented by PING, a youth-led NGO in Botswana. Dintshang's web and mobile phone platforms allow youth to have insightful discussions on issues like gender, love and drug abuse, all centered around the latest celebrity gossip. The site connects youth to health and support services, enabling them to address these issues in their own lives.

PING has received the Partnership/Collective Action award from the Global Business Coalition Health (GBCHealth) Business Action on Health conference for our Disease Surveillance and Mapping Project that has identified nearly 100 potential outbreaks of malaria in the Chobe District of Botswana the past year and aided in limiting the potential for a serious disease outbreak. The winning Disease Surveillance and Mapping Project was the result of a public-private partnership between HP, Mascom, PING, CHAI, and the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Botswana to streamline data collection and analysis with the goal of improving the quality of disease surveillance. The Global Business Coalition Health Awards honor companies that "exemplify a spirit of innovation and dedication to outstanding achievements in global health."
PING also received one of the first four GAIN awards from the Global Adaptation Institute (GAIN), a non-profit organization guided by a vision of building resilience to climate change and other global forces as a key component to sustainable development. The prize was awarded for the Disease Surveillance and Mapping project as well, particularly for it’s innovative use of technology to support Botswana’s vulnerable health infrastructure.
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.
PING was founded in 2009 by a young American doing HIV/AIDS research and a Motswana with technical expertise, hoping to leverage a high mobile phone density to address Botswana’s health problems. PING partnered with the Ministry of Health and began youth mentorship activities. Dintshang embodies both activities: using technology and social media to empower youth and connect them to support.

Dintshang? (What's Happening?)
Explica 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.?
Dintshang is truly an innovative concept, combining a social networking site with a portal to connect youth to health services. Through Dintshang, which translates to “What’s Happening” in slang Setswana, youth can find local and international celebrity and entertainment news, but see it presented in a meaningful way, addressing topics like alcohol and drug abuse, sexual health, cultural issues and gender identity through posted stories. The Dintshang platform will include a website and mobile phone applications, where youth can speak freely on stigmatized topics that they face daily but have little opportunity to discuss. Open-ended questions, posted with each news story, will give youth the chance to interact, while survey questions will offer a snapshot of how participants feel about a topic, giving everyone a way to share their voice. The site will be moderated and users may opt to be anonymous. To further encourage participation, users will earn points every time they logon, comment and participate, earning them access to song downloads and ringtones.
After brining up sensitive topics, Dintshang takes the next step, presenting youth with a tool to find local health and support resources to deal with issues they are facing. A range of services (including health care, career counseling, relationship support, and help with drug or alcohol abuse) will be available and sorted by type and location, enabling youth to find help in a central site. Dintshang not only empowers youth to think critically about their own lives, but gives them a way to turn concern to action.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Dintshang brings insightful messages to youth through a channel that these youth are comfortable with and using regularly. Youth know the kind of heated discussions that can take place over Facebook and Twitter and they also hear or read about a wide array of celebrity gossip about supposed “role models”. Where other organizations might see this behavior and think of it as a distraction from learning important life skills or even a reinforcement of negative messages, PING has chosen to combine these activities and explore their positive potential. With proper guidance and a connection to resources, these habits can be a starting point for behavior change. PING’s nature as youth-led organization has earned us a reputation for creating innovations that others lack the vision to realize.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
PING has partnered with local telecommunications company Mascom and the Ministries of Health and Education. PING’s partnership with Mascom offers technological support and funding for SMS and data costs for the mobile phone platforms (Dintshang access will be free) and publicity. Collaboration with government ensures project sustainability and greater access to youth through schools and government projects than by simply working with non-profit partners. Dintshang will also offer advertising space to ensure long-term sustainability beyond donor funding and to involve local businesses looking to connect with youth while supporting a socially responsible cause. Organizationally, PING’s young staff will manage and run Dintshang for their peers, ensuring that the site stays relevant.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
PING realizes that innovation requires risk, and works with government, the for-profit sector and CSOs to ensure that our projects have a variety of experts' input. PING’s for-profit sister entity, Develo, was launched with the intent to make the most of these relationships, providing mobile applications for emerging markets that allow telecoms to provide value added services to both end users and local government Innovation in capacity building is built into our organizational activities, as PING runs a youth mentorship program and is beginning a club at the University of Botswana, both with the goal of connecting with the next generation of technology experts, helping them further their career training and offering the brightest positions as PING staff.

HIV epidemic in Botswana, among the highest in the world, has resulted in 32,254 vulnerable children reported in early 2013, an increase since 2008. Youth face an increased risk of violence, emotional distress and HIV due to widespread alcohol abuse, unemployment and a struggling education system. In Botswana, 38.9%, of the population is between ages 10 and 24, but while this population could contribute greatly to development, peace and security, they are not being met with sufficient support. National government has formally committed to providing services to provide youth with education, healthcare, nutrition, safety, psychosocial wellbeing and social protection but has signaled the importance of the working with stakeholders in and outside government to develop these support networks.

Open discussion of controversial issues in a safe space
Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
In the Dintshang project, PING has developed an online platform to engage youth ages 15-35 in frank discussions focusing on topics like love, relationships, sexuality, gender identity and disparities, societal norms, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (including HIV/AIDS), cultural issues and more. Topics will be presented using celebrity and entertainment content (both local and international) as the vehicle to drive interest and foster dialogue, often by asking provocative questions geared to bring up subjects that are rarely, if ever, taught. The platform will be accessible online and via smart or basic mobile phones, and through every modality participants will be will be able to both participate in frank discussions and access a location-based directory of support services.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Dintshang aims to provide a platform that disseminates information about HIV/AIDS, gender violence, cultural norms, healthy relationships, love, and other health- related information by relating to youth in Botswana in an entertainment-oriented manner, which will be shared virally through the Dintshang site and social media. Discussions begun on Dintshang will only be the first step toward enacting social change and initiative a broader discussion amongst youth themselves about the role these issues play in their lives. Objectives include: increase self efficacy to discuss and change relevant social and cultural structures, strengthen community structures and referral networks to meet youth’s needs and initiate exchanges between individuals of differing viewpoints and backgrounds.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Dintshang’s value lies in its fresh and innovative use of semi-traditional social media for a positive purpose. The interactive mobile and internet platforms that Dintshang employs are the perfect media for this kind of exchange. As Botswana has an estimated mobile phone penetration rate of 164%, engaging audiences through both basic and smart mobile phone and internet platforms ensures that nearly all Batswana will have a way to access Dintshang. In a country that is among the least densely populated in the world, Dintshang provides an important opportunity for youth to exchange ideas and interact with individuals far outside their community. Having a reliable source of health resources and a safe place to ask serious questions is valuable to users and would be new in Botswana.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Keletso, a 19-year old female living outside Lobatse, Botswana is a typical Dintshang customer. Keletso loves reading about Chris Brown and Rihanna’s tumultuous relationship and even though her boyfriend doesn’t physically abuse her, she feels like she and Rihanna are both trapped in relationships that are not good for them. Keletso wants to hear about local and international stars but feels like she would have to spend hours surfing the web, reading newspaper articles and listening to radio shows to do really be up to date. She has lived in the same town all her life, but has no idea about youth empowerment organizations or mental health services nearby. If she did, she would probably get her younger brother help because she thinks he is developing an unhealthy alcohol dependency.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Dintshang platforms' launch will coincide with traditional publicity, including the design and production of media such as flyers, billboards and posters, to be donated by our telecommunications partner, Mascom. In these early phases, Dintshang will also be promoted at local concerts and sports games, and through an independent Dintshang launch party with Yarona FM. Dintshang will target university campuses as a major part of outreach and promotion, and form partnerships with student organizations to spread the word through their networks. Dintshang will partially rely on users to share the site between themselves, both by word of mouth and through Dintshang’s Facebook and Twitter pages. These other sites will be big sources of new users once Dintshang has attracted a small following.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Before release, the Dintshang platforms will be subjected to consumer testing by local youth. PING hosted one customer development session to get feedback on how youth access health information, use the internet and what they thought of the site. As development completes, attention will shift to the site launch. PING will leverage partners like Mascom, local radio and television and government and publicize the site through print, social networks, and other media sources in order to attract users, culminating with a launch event at major universities in Gaborone, Botswana. PING will also form partnerships with local media to provide content on local celebrities, and train a blogger and moderator to find and post stories and discussion questions while monitoring site activity.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Our most notable peer is Young Africa Live, a website started by the Praekelt Foundation, that connects users to stories about HIV/AIDS and help lines where they can find referrals or support. PING believes that YAL, while similar, is not a competitor, as our tool is unique to Botswana, a market that we are very familiar with. Additionally, by adding mobile phone capabilities and location-based services, PING's platform is even more accessible to users, particularly youth. Dintshang has other seeming competitors in the social media space, like Twitter, Facebook and Tumbr, who it hopes to turn into collaborators by creating a Dintshang Facebook and Twitter page to re-direct traffic back to discussion on the Dintshang site.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
PING’s major challenge is securing mid-term funding for our projects to sustain them until they can be funded and adopted by local government. To overcome this challenge, PING as branched to create a for-profit sister organization called Develo that utilizes lessons learned from working with technology in emerging markets. Develo, a for-profit, will generate revenue for PING, creating a synergy between the two arms. Currently, as projects are launching for both Develo and PING, the organization as a whole is struggling financially, making it difficult to secure adequate staff to sustain our projects in the short term. In light of current discussions with Ministry of Health, for-profit partners and others, PING believes that both will be able to carry out long-term plans.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
PING relies on strong partnerships, expanding our hybrid operation model, working with local government and continuing to train local youth, ultimately creating a methodology for expansion that can be applied to various developing countries. Much of PING’s success to date has been tied to these business practices and our innovative business practices, as we move to expand this in coming years.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
In light of our past successes, partners including government, international funders and local for-profits have expressed interest in continuing working with PING, and we are continually approached by organizations in Africa who are interested in forging collaborations who are interested in PING’s focus on creating sustainable products and weaving lessons learned into future products.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
PING aims to expand operations to 3 to 5 countries in the next 3 years. In each, PING’s youth mentorship program will be replicated and local offices will be 70% youth led, with an understanding that this will require us to grow thoughtfully and may take time to establish but will ultimately be the most sustainable as youth can grow within the organization as we transition to government funding.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
In the short-term, PING is looking to launch and expand several products, including Dintshang. Additionally, PING hopes to expand the piloted malaria surveillance and mapping project with the support of the Ministry of Health and interested funding partners. PING is in talks with various branches of the MOH to discuss new projects as well. PING also hopes to solidify a partnership with a research institution to ensure that our projects are held to the highest monitoring and evaluation standards as we move forward. By the end of 2013, PING would like to see an expansion to Mozambique, where partnerships have already been forged with local partner organizations. At the same time, PING looks to see its for-profit arm, Develo, secure product funding and add to PING’s long-term sustainability.

Approximately 200 words left (1000 characters).To date, the Dintshang project has created buzz for PING as an organization and has many groups interested in collaborating. PING demonstrated Dintshang to the National AIDS Coordinating Committee and local youth organizations at the request of government agencies launching other youth-focused initiatives and received very positive feedback. The Ministry of Education and Skills Development, for example, expressed interest in helping train Dintshang moderators and bloggers using Botswana’s standardized Life Skills Framework, forging a new partnership for PING. Various organizations have shown interest in funding the project in the future as well, including some international donors. Current partners, such as Mascom and the Ministry of Health, have been in discussions to participate in the future of the Dintshang tool. In customer feedback sessions held with local youth, participants expressed interest in maintaining involvement as moderators and bloggers and were excited to share information about Dintshang’s launch with peers, already increasing Dintshang’s user base.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
In order to access Dintshang discussion forums or resources, youth will have to register with their email address, age, gender, location and answer a few baseline monitoring and evaluation questions on their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding accessing health and other services and about the issues discussed on Dintshang. As they use Dintshang, questions will be sent to users at timed intervals, monitoring changes in their awareness of and feelings toward these topics. PING will also be able to gather data on how users access Dintshang and how often they comment or participate. Questions can be modified and sent out over email, text message or through the site. These tools, along with comments posted, will be used to quantify social impact and measure progress.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
A defining characteristic of Dintshang is that it is built to be specific to Botswana – it directs users to services based on location in country, provides the majority of celebrity news on local artists and issues and fills a purpose that no other platform in Botswana ever has. However, in a different location, particularly in a country where no service directory or health-focused discussion portal has been created, Dintshang could be easily adapted to fit the context. If Dintshang were to be applied outside Botswana, it would be important for PING to partner with local content providers, potential users and other stakeholders to ensure that the Dintshang product remains top quality for wherever it’s being applied.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In the next year, PING hopes to have 1,000 registered users on Dintshang. In the following six months, PING will have compiled sufficient data on these users to be able to produce a telling report on user responses to Dintshang, how users are interacting on the platforms and how exposure to the site is related to changes in opinions and service seeking behavior. Within the next two years, PING hopes to tailor Dintshang to youth in Mozambique and launch the site along with other PING projects as one of the first initiatives of PING Mozambique. After three years, PING strives to have expanded Dintshang to a total of 4 countries and have reached a total of 10,000 active users.

PING currently receives two types of funding. General organizational funding, typically from individual donors, is not tied to any deliverable or product and is used to support the organization as a whole. This funding is used in PING’s capacity building, staff transportation, office costs and costs of PING’s youth mentorship program. Other funding is deliverable based, such as our project with the University of Pennsylvania in Botswana where we build a specific system for them and provide monthly the technical support for an oral health telemedicine program.
Typically, project development and piloting is funded by private sector and government partners, but PING’s ultimate goal in design and creation is always to treat local government as the customer and push pilots nationally after a successful pilot conclusion. PING also relies heavily on in-kind donations from partners, including HP and Mascom, to keep project costs at a minimum when testing in the pilot phase. In working with these private sector partners, part of PING’s strategy is to put together a business case proving that their contributions are building demand for their services and creating new markets for their products in a socially responsible way. PING’s for-profit sister organization, Develo, will contribute 20% of its profits to support PING as well, as Develo will benefit from being created with social responsibility and market building in mind. PING is considering moving its deliverable-based, fee for service, projects funding to be managed under Develo in the future.

PING develops concepts for new health and technology solutions in partnership with interested development organizations or local governments. PING also seeks out contracts and funding opportunities to create solutions for Botswana government offices, local businesses and international organizations. PING brings in private sector partners early on to determine what they can donate in-kind and how this affects project costs. After technology and programmatic guidelines have been agreed upon, funding has been established and goals have been met, PING pilots its projects working closely with local government’s guidance and the support of local research institutions. At the end of a pilot. PING continues a local government partnership when projects go to tender, securing longer term funding.

Estrategias filantrópicas que estás utilizando
Estrategia diversificada.
Explica tu enfoque filantrópico con más detalle
PING seeks philanthropic support in a number of ways. First, PING’s philanthropic support includes individual donors who believe in the cause and foundations of the organization and support us because of our innovative business model and approach to health problems. Secondly, various PING receives support through the corporate social responsibility departments of some of our for-profit partners. This funding is not tied to any project, but to building capacity within the organization. Due to the recent economy, securing this type of unrestricted funding is becoming more difficult, creating an incentive for PING to diversify donors.
Amplia tu selección; explica cómo mantendrás el financiamiento dentro de los próximos 1 a 3 años.
In the next 1 to 3 years, PING will seek to prove our products’ health and cost efficiency and push them to tender. In April of 2013 PING is beginning to take this project from pilot stage to national scale (coverage of 100% of all health districts) with the Botswana MOH, who will be funding most of the national scale up. For this project, health care workers utilized smartphones, donated by HP, to complete weekly disease reports, which could then be sent to the Ministry of Health and visualized on a web platform almost instantly. Not only is this project being expanded to 100% country coverage but it will be expanding to include MDR and XDR TB in phase one and we hope to eventually use it for reporting of all 17 notifiable diseases in Botswana.
PING is also looking to move forward with new initiatives. The Dintshang project has received attention from a wide range of potential funders. PING is also looking to raise social venture capitol and others in the impact investing space to help prove our business model, and has had discussions with potential partners like the Acumen Fund. As PING expands, we will continue to partner with for-profit organizations who can provide in-kind donations and technical support, particularly telecommunications companies who operate in multiple countries and can support us as we expand. Income shared with the for-profit Develo will also contribute to PING’s longer term funding sustainability.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
Sobre la prevención y educación respecto al SIDA, principalmente en la población joven entre 15 y 25 años. De la misma manera en que se ha dado apertura a la sexualidad como actividad “recreativa”, sería conveniente mostrar las graves consecuencias que el sexo, sin los medios de prevención adecuados, conlleva. Una propuesta interesante seria una campaña de marketing viral a través de las redes sociales mostrando imágenes o breves videos sobre la cruda realidad del SIDA. En este caso las sutilezas en el tema salen sobrando, es necesario hablar francamente con los jóvenes respecto al SIDA y los métodos de prevención. Así mismo brindar opciones a las personas infectadas de lugares a dónde acudir para recibir apoyo psicológico, emocional o medico.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Concientizar a la población de la gravedad del tema, la gente conoce y sabe del SIDA, de las consecuencias y vías de transmisión, sin embargo, no toman las medias de prevención adecuadas y los contagios continúan. Esto puede deberse a que el sexo se ha magnificado en los contenidos televisivos actuales, y el sexo ocasional, frecuente y sin prevención, pasó a ser una moda entre la población joven.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Hay muchos anuncios gráficos y audiovisuales relacionados con la prevención del SIDA, pero no todos muestran información contundente o explicita, y los que se llegan a atrever, son censurados en los medios masivos de comunicación, por eso una herramienta útil, serian los medios electrónicos y las redes sociales.
Un mensaje bien estructurado y difundido por los canales adecuados, atraerá la atención del público y lo interesará en el tema. Formara a un receptor informado, activo y consiente del riesgo que implica el sexo sin protección en la transmisión del SIDA.
Por ejemplo: Un mensaje audiovisual en YouTube es visto por un adolecente entre 15 y 18 años, el anuncio muestran explícitamente los estragos que genera el SIDA en una persona, particularmente en una persona joven en ese mismo rengo de edad. Si el mensaje incluye información adecuada, preventiva y directa el impacto será mayor y más personal; generara una conciencia en el adolecente y lo involucrara el tema de la prevención.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
En mi comunidad son muy pocas las personas que se involucran en asuntos de interés social, este proyecto está encaminado a la población joven, debido a que las nuevas generaciones comienzan una vida sexual a mas temprana edad, sin tener la información y madurez (física y mental) necesaria.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Es necesario estar consientes de los problemas que ocurren en nuestro entornos, mayormente si esos problemas se pueden prevenir. El involucrarse en estos temas fomenta la participación ciudadana y nos da la oportunidad de manifestar nuestros propios puntos de vista. Quizás la solución a un severo problema esté en nuestras manos, pero si no lo compartimos jamás ocurrirá algo.

Social Enterprises across the world are on rise and play a critical role in nation building process. With the changing business environments and increasing pressures to deliver value, social enterprises are witnessing an era of changing orientation from being grants driven to efficient, self sustainable models. Social Enterprises are also using bank financing to fund their innovations, have teams in different geographical locations, need to co-ordinate operations from a central location, and take care of knowledge management and experience sharing.
The Virtual TV Studio for Youth : a mentored, collaborative web space for all high schoolers across Canada and around the world, in partnership with local TV broadcasters and their clients. A place to create for school, and the real world.
In sumary, given the solution & model earlier, we need fund support on creating radio studio in schools in other parts of Indonesia as well as running LEADER ABC course for 30x meetings (one academic school year). The 2 schools running now are self-financed by the schools themselves. Kindly watch us: www.youtube.com/carlystiana.
Our market is huge i.e.all over Indonesia and it is extremely important to invest in our next generation's education as they are the future of Indonesia. With the power of media, LEADER ABC aims to hinder youths from both disasters; natural and man-made.
In 2011, there was a drought in the Horn of Africa and disaster, relief response was ramping up. Unfortunately, the narrative, the complexity and the presentation of the issue as well as the position of the people affected by the drought was discouraging. 26 years have passed and the was the same old tired story of Africans as victims that had to be saved. Africans were generally invisible in the dialogue and the presentation of the issues. It was the same old approach that has been seen in the many years past were people needed food and those that could ‘save’ them will.

Broadcast professional and social entrepreneur are the appropriate tags for Ely Bonder. From his teens on he has advocated youth empowerment by finding ways for youth to contribute to society. Beyond his day-job he has brought together broadcasters and students through partnerships. As a CTV employee, he has not been shy about advocating for youth. As a wellknown Canadian news anchor with experience at ABC News said about Ely: “Ely has his eye firmly on the future and is one of the few senior members of our News Division working on new models for quality content consumption in the digital age. It is his brand of pioneering mind, rooted in a career of producing quality journalism, that are needed most to ensure the standards of existing media transfer into the next.” (source: LinkedIn.com)
¿Qué te hace un intraemprendedor? Cuáles son las habilidades, capacidades y rasgos personales que te hacen un intraemprendedor?
An example of Ely's entrepreneur skills was preparing a business plan for the internet that was recognized by a Toronto-based GIGATHON2000 prize sponsored by INTEL, as the web bubble was beginning. It placed youth in the forefront of community development in partnership with the private sector. After just a few years on the job at CTV, he convinced management to pay heed to youth voices and the company allowed him to pilot a TV news magazine by youth, for youth. Later he helped launch an application for a youth-driven Satellite channel, and then convinced his English TV station to allow French kids to take over all the job functions of the professional TV studio for two weekends , in order to produce a demo of youth creativity ( http://youtu.be/L-QThdlowqs ).

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
French-language broadcasters in Quebec have been accused of "white-washing" their on-screen appearance, despite an ever-growing multicultural audience base. Ely's eMage.ca organization filmed a cohort of youth who pointed out this issue gently, and as a result received prize recognition by Quebec's broadcast community "Tele Diversite" ( http://youtu.be/lfYoIpcjJsk ) .
Local TV Broadcasters generally have to confront the issue of audience drift to the web, and to maintain the loyalty of their viewers, they must be proactive. Meanwhile youth feel their voice is not reflected on the TV screen . They do not see themselves except when the issue is drugs, sex, bullying, and suicide. There is so much more to being a youth than just social ills.Yth engagement is needed to diminish dropping-out.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The eMage Virtual TV Studio for Youth , a secure, mentored and collaborative webspace, would welcome local TV broadcasters to work side-by-side with students from grade 7 upwards. The studio would be integrated into the school curriculum, and empowered by professional and peer mentors across Canada and around the world. Broadcasters would link up with youth projects and visibility of youth creativity and engagement would be integrated into TV broadcasts and their related websites.Youth would be encouraged to answer curriculum requirements through video, and engage in media entrepreneurship and current affairs, in collaboration with broadcasters.
Mentors would help focus the student's concepts and vision, and productions would leverage the natural sense of humour and concerns of youth. Youth video projects would link and be placed at local broadcasters' sites and on-air where appropriate, with sponsorship opportunities. Self-esteem for youth, identity with broadcasters, win-win.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Local TV broadcasters of all stripes will be given an opportunity to compete with each other to mentor the most youth, thereby increasing the number of potential loyal viewers to their brand. In turn, students will have greater opportunities to access the real world and apply their curriculum goals in the public space. This leads to greater self-esteem and engagement. Sponsors have an innovative way to enhance viral marketing of their brands, due to engagement with youth.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
In collaboration with schools, school boards, ministries of education, and local broadcasters/marketers across the country, the Virtual TV Studio for Youth would be constructed online, incorporating such features as a secure mentorship system for students, a free resource base for collaborative video-editing, relationship building with local broadcasters and their sponsors/partners, teachers’ curriculum guide, and video entrepreneur opportunities for students.
Encouragement would be provided to students to create TV projects that answer the requirements of curriculum objectives. Novel ways of research and results explanation through TV and New Media, explored and produced by students, would be credited as part of their course requirements.
Social engagement with world and local issues would be encouraged as part of students’ social studies , and peer collaboration from around the world through online TV production, would be supported by commercial brands, in cooperation with TV newsbroadcasters, PBS-style. News directors may choose to air student productions as part of their newscast or as interstitial PSAs (Public Service Announcements). An example is our proprietary initiative called NewsRap.TV : http://youtu.be/x2JR6SFvIfU .
As Peppler/Kafai reported in Learning, Media and Technology 06/ 2007, educational engagement is enhanced because media production reinforces the underpinnings of constructionism: learning experiences are most engaging when people are designing and creating. And now, for a larger public, and a larger impact.
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?
Recently WEVIDEO , associated with Google, launched a collaborative online video editing service, the most recent of a number of attempts to do so. This holy grail has been sought after for years, and my initiative banks on such technology to make it happen. We add on the aspect of mentorship and sponsorship and access to local broadcasters, for young people.
We are the first to marry mentorship/broadcasting/education, and the challenge remains to maintain propriety on the concept, before Google searches this public article, and goes ahead on its own dime.

In the mid-eighties, I founded Les Ateliers Super Jeunesse, and rounded up mentors,public funding, francophone youth creators, artists, and a local TV station. I tasked them with creating a TV series for youth and general audiences, and said express yourself. The kids created a 13-part series and completed the screenplay for one 30-minute episode. Then they took over a real anglophone TV studio and all the jobs necessary to make a TV show, with the volunteer collaboration of the employees. The result was "Woups !"
Everyone discovered to their surprise that kids were competent and funny and really good at creativity, that adults loved to mentor, and that making TV was fun ( http://youtu.be/L-QThdlowqs ) . What that could do for education, I said to myself. And then the internet happened, and the pipes became bigger. We are on the cusp of Youth TV Nation.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
My non-profit, Youth eMage Jeunesse since 1999, has collaborated with schools and youth-serving agencies, in implanting new-media and video production programs as integrated activities. Youth created PSAs for TV, fought for a basketball court at the municipal council level using video and ppt, tweaked Quebec broadcasters' sensitivities regarding ethnic representation on-screen, and became video journalists.
By our actions, we have concretely contributed to the public discourse concerning the new curriculum, making education more relevant to youth.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
With a successful launch, I project that at least 50,000 high schoolers across Canada and around the world will sign on to the Virtual TV Studio with the approval of their teachers, while dozens of TV stations and Networks will commit resources, airtime, and webspace to their mentored youth collaborators.
Youth entrepreneurs will collect thousands of dollars of discretionary spending as they create PSAs, sponsored educational video documents, and viral commercials for small business, And the drop-out rate will diminish markedly across the board.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
There has been marked resistance to any scent of commercialism by half the schools in Canada and the U.S., as the experience of Channel One (U.S.) and Youth News Network (Canada) can attest to. Both of those projects have had very limited number of students acting as producers, and depended on youth as consumers.
In contrast, the Virtual Studio encourages a mass of students to act as producers, and attract an audience of adults as the consumers. The Studio is integrated throughout the curriculum, not just Social Studies or Media Literacy. Youth engage in their studies as creators, with the side benefit of creating relationships with the private sector who are banging a drum in applause for the students' academic and creative tour de force.

TV Broadcasters are concerned about the drift of viewers to the unregulated web, and need to reverse that flow. They need to create loyalty for their brand and their own commercial clients from current and future audiences. In order to do so, they must be seen to be on the side of their viewers, and especially youth, The Virtual TV Studio for Youth is that infrastructure.

Marketing to long-term sponsors, lobbying to broadcasters, and contributing to social policy development at the Federal government level are all current strategies.
The Federal Dept of Human Resources/Skills Development is currently soliciting projects for Social Finance. BCE (national private telecom company) is submitting an acquisition request to the Federal regulator, and is proposing community tangible benefits as part of that. In both cases we are submitting long-term funding proposals leveraging the goals of each project.
Out-reach to long-term commercial sponsors is ongoing, sensitizing them to the dual benefits of both youth and TV partnerships.
We are projecting a yearly operating budget of $500,000 .

Crecimiento (tu iniciativa piloto ya se está aplicando y se empieza a expandir)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
Simply, communication and engagement for employees. Business is people. Without motivated people there is stagnated business. Bringing ideas to life and communicating in a fun and memorable way applies to all industries and causes. This Includes fund raising as well as for commercial purposes.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Tailored rap songs and videos. Using the medium of music, we take briefs from clients that wish to communicate specific key messages to target audiences and write a tailored song for the organization to use. This is coupled with a custom video that emphasizes the key points.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
By packaging the key messages into a rap song, it acts as a playful but impactful & engaging "call to action".
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
Recently I took part in a charitable initiative with the "Princes Trust" - in order to raise funding and awareness I decided to create a rap song in tribute along with a video. My offer to potential sponsors was that if they gave me £15 or more, I would include their name in the scrolling tickertape along the bottom of the video. Everyone I spoke to/heard about it were genuinely very interested in this due to its originality. I worked with my network of designers and producers to create a song, write the lyrics and record/edit the footage. I then worked with Accenture's executive, communications and corporate citizenship team to gain formal sign off on the content. The content got superb endorsement and the song is being released to the entire UK/I workforce (~12k) with the aim of helping achieve a £40k sponsorship rate for the cause. Furthermore I am working with the Princes Trust directly to use the song to promote the great work the Trust is doing and our contribution. There are discussions about monetizing the song further via iTunes and radio with proceeds going to the cause. Ultimately the value lies in reaching the relevant target audiences and making an emotional connection to communicate key messages in a memorable way.
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 many communications, digital and event facilitation companies working with corporate entities, charities and governments. However, there is not a company offering a service such as this. The key differentiation lies in a deep understanding of the client's requirement and an appreciation of the style, desired effect and brand of a specific client then delivering outputs in a highly engaging way. This tailored, KPI focused approach woven with existing client initiatives creates an unprecedented level of engagement. People are fascinated with the "coolness" of rap, but they feel it is an inaccessible world to them. This bridge allows people to have fun, feel young and embrace the messaging. A challenge is getting material signed off. Companies need to be brave.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHistoria 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.
I have always been fascinated by poetry and music. At university I founded a music society (Beats and Bass) where members put on professional nights and radio shows for and by members in an entrepreneurial way. This was hugely successful and profitable (all profits reinvested intp growing the society). The society still thrives today 8 years on. At work, I was running a training course and thought "how can I engage the audience and deliver the key messages?" I decided to write a parody of a well known song whereby I changed the lyrics to deliver my key points. The level of engagement was incredible. I have since performed at many events and created projects against numerous briefs. The response is always overwhelmingly positive. It changes the dynamics of what you are communicating and it is fun and engaging. Also the consultative approach to the brief requires business acumen. My dream is to raise awareness on key issues & inspire people through this medium and develop artists.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The impact of this solution is to deliver a message through a new and unique form of communication. The key measure is whether the intended message is being delivered or whether the song creates merely hype. The deliverables in the past have received universal endoresement accross levels and ages. They have informed, increased engagement and generated calculable revenue towards fund raising causes. The impact to businesses is on a commercial and emotional level.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
Depending on the projects being taken on (there is a very strong pipeline), I believe this will become incredibly popular – and I intend to make it so. Growth areas for the company will include performers, producers, graphics designers etc to meet the demand of our clients. The potential of the social impact is also very large. This medium can be used to create awareness on important issues (every topic in the "key word" section of this application is potentially relevant). I plan to engage young people in rap workshops to foster positive communications and to relay important messaging. These work shops can also be incorporated into corporate projects. The only limit for its application is ones imagination...
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The main barrier will be getting sign off from branding. I will overcome this by working in a collaborative manner from the outset with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that this is a credit to the brand, not a dis-service. Another challenge I foresee is delivering original material consistently and managing client demand. I plan to overcome this through expectation management and having the highest standards of QA. Getting a clear brief and extracting the value criteria is important to creating the right tone.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál es el beneficio o valor que estás generando para el/los negocio/s?
This is a services business, therefore there is not a large financial outlay. The USP rests on the network of talented music and film producers and the consultative business output focused approach to gathering the "brief" of each project. I am the founder and am currently writing the content (working with an established artist network). The business will work with the community to bring this creative medium into the business environment. I also am working with prospective and current clients to build and deliver against the strong sales pipeline.
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
My employer works with 96 of the Fortune 100 companies and there is great support for this initiative both from an internal call to action/fund raising perspective as well as potentially utilizing this with our change management work with clients. I am receiving coaching at a senior level both in terms of content creation and sign off delivery. It will take time to completely integrate the offerings and leverage the corporate citizenship strategy but there is a huge wealth of support and encouragement. People love the original and novel approach to content distribution.
Amplía tu respuesta, explicando el plan de financiación y sostenimiento a largo plazo.
Long term this business has a high potential growth trajectory and is entirely self funding through organic growth. The reason for this is that companies, clients and charities already have their own established platforms for distributing content. In addition there is plenty of established media platforms (e.g. YouTube) if the deliverables are to be used externally. This means that Corporate Rap is responsible for the creation of content rather than its hosting. Also, the nature of the work means that demand will drive number of people needed. There are a wealth of community projects, live and corporate initiatives possible and this will involve collaboration with leading organizations to scale as required.
Cuéntanos sobre tus asociados, dentro de tu empresa y por fuera, que sean claves para el éxito de tu proceso.
The success of the company lies firstly with its human capital (musicians, producers and artists) and secondly with a collaborative partnerial approach to business. Demand for projects comes through word of mouth and an integration with offerings of other companies. This can take many shapes from educational institutions, charities, 3rd party offerings, events and workshop companies amongst many others.
¿Qué apoyo interno has tenido para tu proyecto? Qué tipos de retrocesos has sufrido?
Bridging original musical with serious underlying messages has received universal appeal and support. Once the initial surprise passes (which is a key part of the strategy), executives have seen an impressive response rate to the communication. This has been accross a wide range of areas,topics and sectors. One push back and challenge is getting global branding sign off. Close collaboration and transparency with these teams is critical to the successful delivery,

El proyecto surgió por una necesidad de los tres fundadores: Matías, Andrés y Sonia, de emprender un proyecto que aporte a la sociedad, crear una empresa con un fin social. Y lo primero que nos llamó la atención al empezar a investigare las problemáticas sociales fué el impacto negativo que genera en la sociedad el desempleo y la falta de información que hace que muchas vences los Empleadores no puedan cubrir sus puestos de trabajo por no encontrar a los Trabajadores adecuados. Sí hay oferta de trabajo y demanda de trabajo, ¿por qué existe tanto desempleo?. Solo era cuestión de conectar la oferta y la demanda, y que mejor forma de hacerlo que a través de internet!!

El impacto a sido sumamente positivo. Tanto los trabajadores como los empleadores pudieron descubrir a través de Hoytrabajo un espacio para conectarse, una herramienta simple y eficaz. Tenemos conocimiento certero de que en menos de dos meses ya hay siete personas que consiguieron empleo a través de www.hoytrabajo,com.ar.
Teniendo en cuenta que con los limitados recursos con los que contamos, ya hay personas que consiguieron empleo gracias a Hoytrabajo, es evidente el gran crecimiento y beneficio social que se aproxima a corto plazo.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
Ser el principal nexo en todo Latinoamerica entre los Empleadores y los Trabajadores de los sectores: Industrias, Construcción, Oficios, Sector Agrario, Servicios y Otros.
Lograr un aumento exponencial de la inserción laboral en los países en los que trabajemos. Eso implica:
• Disminuir la desocupación en la Argentina
• Que más trabajadores tengan la oportunidad de acceder a un trabajo digno y significativo.
• Brindar el contacto más eficiente y rápido a los empleadores.
• Ser el vínculo de empleo entre los trabajadores y empleadores por excelencia.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Falta de recursos: el proyecto esta pensado y diseñado para ser autosustentable. Los empleadores que publiquen avisos de trabajo PREMIUM, es decir aquellos avisos que aparezcan en el el home principal, van a pagar una suma de dinero determinado por ese beneficio extraordinario, de esta manera se generan ingresos que sirven para sustentar todo el proyecto.

A lo que aspiramos es que Hoytrabajo se convierta en la principal herramienta de búsqueda de empleo para los trabajadores en Argentina y en Latinoamerica, a la par de ser la mejor y más eficiente opción en cuanto a reclutamiento de personal para las empresas.
Al día de hoy, Hoytrabajo presenta posibilidades de crecimiento certeras, que aseguran beneficio económico a la par de beneficio social. De esta manera, luego de una inversión inicial el portal va a empezar a autosustentarse financieramente con los avisos PREMIUM que publiquen los empleadores,
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
Somos seis personas dedicándonos full time a Hoytrabajo, y muchos otros voluntarios. Trabajamos y formamos alianzas con muchas organizaciones: ONGs, Fundaciones y varias oficinas de empleo municipales (ver http://hoytrabajo.com.ar/Ong/) lo cual para nosotros es una gran fuente de conocimiento y paralelamente nos abre nuevas puertas para la investigación. Los fondos con los que se financió la creación y el lanzamiento de esta iniciativa fueron a través de los ahorros personales de cada uno de los tres fundadores. Estos ahorros surgieron a partir de los anteriores trabajos de cada uno de los fundadores. De a poco logramos llegar diferentes líderes sociales que se interesan por el proyecto y están dispuestos a trabajar colaborativamente.

Luego de una inversión inicial, que permita a Hoytrabajo expandirse geográficamente y hacerse conocido en el nicho al que apunta, de la mano de un interesante marketing online en el cual ya estamos trabajando, SEO, flyers impresos, merchandising, spot publicitarios, etc. A largo plazo, el proyecto va a generar ingresos constantes a través de los avisos PREMIUM que publiquen los empleadores, este capital va a ser constantemente reinvertido para lograr un verdadero crecimiento exponencial en todo Latinoamerica. Es un crecimiento paralelo asegurado: a medida que se registren más trabajadores con intención de trabajar se van a registrar más empleadores publicando avisos con ofertas de trabajo para que se postulen los trabajadores. Es un flujo dinámico y explosivo.

All parents struggle from time to time with parenting, but that intensifies significantly when through separation, divorce, abandonment or death you are doing it all on your own as a single-parent.
Finding enough hours in the day to earn an income, maintain a home, help with homework, participate in children's activities and pay the bills leaves little time for the parent to care for themselves or engage in personal development. Raising children alone is isolating, exhausting and stressful.

Digital technologies enable users to communicate and exchange information through many channels. Youth use these new technologies.
- 93% of teens use the Internet
- 80% + are online at least once a week
- 73% of teens have profiles on social networking sites
- 75% of teens own a cell phone
- 97% of teens play computer, web, portable, or console games.
Digital technologies provide countless opportunities for creativity, learning and sharing. Unfortunately, they are also the domain of phishers, scammers, hackers, bullies and sexual predators.
CyberSafeBC.ca will help youth be aware of the dangers when they share information and images via email, text, social media, online and through gaming systems. It will target youth through a video-based, certificate-granting course.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
CyberSafeBC will arm youth with information to help them be CyberSafe on the internet, on their phones and on gaming systems. Upon completion of a video-based training course, users will be able to take an exam to get certified by CyberSafeBC.
The training will deal with four areas:
• Online Safety-phishing (scammers of financial information) and money/security issues (visa and banking);
• Digital Footprint-Sharing text and images-once it is out there, it is impossible to get back;
• Online Ethics-what can be posted, cyber-bullying, uploads and downloads of intellectual property and best practices for email, texting and social media; and
• Online Criminality-luring, youth porn (sexting of images of youth under 16) and piracy (theft of copyrighted intellectual property).
This website will be unique because it is targeted to youth, includes a complete video-based curriculum, tests for knowledge competency and provides a certificate. Also applicable to parents & seniours.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
CyberSafeBC.ca will provide an online course that helps young people understand the dangers of being digitally active. The course will be hosted by two video facilitators who lead users through the video content. Upon completion, users can take a competency-based exam and with a passing score, receive a CyberSafeBC Certificate that confirms that they are aware of online dangers and know how to be cyber safe.
Case 1: A thirteen your girl wants to have a Facebook account – like ALL her friends, but Mom says “No, you’re too young. It’s dangers to post your personal information online”. Daughter agrees. But, she has taken the online course at CyberSafeBC,ca and she is now CyberSafe certified – she know the dangers and she talk to her Mom about what she will do to stay safe.
Case 2: A 10 year old boy wants his parents to buy him a cell phone – like ALL his friends, but Dad says “No way. You wouldn’t use it responsibly”. But the son has been CyberSafe certified and he tells his Dad about the steps he will take to be sure to stay safe when he calling or messaging his friends.
Case 3: Dad thinks he may they have infected their home computer with a virus. Mom says she received another email asking for her bank information and suggests maybe the virus came from there. Their child jumps into the conversation and says, “You guys need to get CyberSafe Certified so that you know how to stay safe online. The online video course will teach you about hackers, phishers, spammers, luring and a lot more. If you pass the test, it means you know what to do to stay safe”.
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.
No other websites provide this solution. CybeSafeBC will be targetted at youth, will included a complete curriculum on online safety and will provide a certificate to confirm competency.
There are a number of terrific online resources that provide information in this area: BeWebAware.ca, MediaSmarts.ca, ProtectChildren.ca, Deal.org, TheDoorThatsNotLocked.ca, KidsintheKnow.ca, ZoeandMolly.ca, Cyberwise.org, Cybersmart.gov.au, Cybersafekids.com.au, InHope.org, etc. In addition, there are several YouTube channels that include excellent videos.
CyberSafeBC.ca will integrate the best of this content into a complete curriculum. All content will be introduced, presented and then discussed by facilitators.

The founders had their “Aha!” moment when developing the Online Safety section of www.LegalRightsForYouth.ca and looking at the information provided on other websites about cyber safety. There are some great resources mainly for educators and parents, but not many sites focus on the youth who need to be CyberSafe. JES wants to pull together these existing internet resources and create new resources that will become part of a youth focused online certificate training course.
JES is a curriculum specialist having developed thousands of pages over 20+ years so it is well positioned to consolidate resources and create a dynamic course for youth. The course will target youth ages 11-17 but the content will be useful also to older and younger youth - as well as teachers, parents, seniors and other members of the public.
Plus, beyond youth, the content is 100% applicable to adults as well. In this digital era, we all need to be aware of the online dangers - we all need to be Cybersafe.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The goal of this initiative is to help British Columbians be more safe and confident when they use their phones, the internet and gaming systems. With funding success, the Justice Education Society would create a dynamic online certificate granting course on Cyber Safety - primarily for youth but also useful for parents, teachers, seniors and other members of the public.
The course would live online at www.CyberSafeBC.ca and it would combine a range of video modules that cover:
- Online Safety
- Digital Footprint
- Online Ethics
- Online Crime
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
This is a new initiative for JES which arises out of the work done in the past years. JES has delivered several workshops on Cyberbullying to teachers and has attended recent workshops on Sexual Luring and Social Media. We will be presenting a workshop in October on Social Media and the Law as well. Our staff are active within the online safety topic area, but the CbyerSafeBC course has not been developed and there is no impact to date.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
JES provides in-person instruction to over 18,000 students each year. Through websites like LegalRightsForYouth.ca, CourtsofBC.ca, and LawLessons.ca, we have an established audience of youth, teachers and students. We reach 20,000 students each year and we have strong community partners that can provide valuable resources. CyberSafeBC.ca will be promoted through all JES channels and the website maintenance and promotion will continue for at least 5 years. Within its first two years online, we anticipate the site will receive at least 50,000 unique visitors. With traction among youth, the site has the potential to attract over 100,000 visitors per year. This course has the potential to become national in scope as it could be easily adapted for different provinces.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The first challenge will be to prevent as much as possible the “gaming” of the system. Clever youth could find a way to get a certificate even though they did not take the course. JES will require that they cover at least 90% of the pages of the course before they are able to take the exam and then we will auto-generate test questions so that they are randomized and different for every test.
The second challenge may be creating interest in the course among the target audience. We will use student-created videos on online safety. We will market the course to teachers who already use our programs. We will introduce the course to the 20,000 students we see each year. The course can also be promoted to parent advisory groups in schools and to seniors in community centres.

Lack of Transparency, Lack of Accountability and Corruption are some of the biggest issues plaguing the growth of many developing economies. Small Issues such as uncleared garbage bins, potholes and water leakages become insurmountable. Even the common citizen who wants to take action cannot do so as his hands are tied- he does not know whom to contact and how to go about the same. We would like to create a solution that brings the much needed accountability into the system, allowing citizens to not just watch the problems in their communities as 'mute spectators' but actually kickstart the change process.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Social Cops is a cloud based smartphone and web application that will allow young urban Indian population to immediately report simple problems in their locality like garbage dumps, pot holes simply by uploading photographs and sharing their location. NGO's & public administration in the vicinity of the report will be notified. The complaints & follow-up process will be monitored ,tracked and reviewed on the open platform thus bringing the much needed accountability into the system. Social Cops will be integrated with Social Media - making a 'personal' problem a 'community' problem. The neighbourhood water leak will no longer be just your problem as the entire city will be conspiring to solve your problem.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Social Cops makes the solution to Social issues really simple. Imagine you walk out of your house and see an uncleared garbage dump. Previously, while the sight may have distressed you - a common citizen would just walk by- as the process of getting the issue solved is highly cumbersome & unrewarding. But with Social Cops', all you need to do is click a picture of the problem with your smartphone. Your problem statement & photo of the problem along with the location will automatically be posted to the platform. It will then be forwarded to the relevant authorities and you will be assigned a complaint number. In the case of uncleared garbage, it will be the municipal corporation's responsibility to update you on the status of your complaint. Your complaint will be monitored, tracked and reviewed thus bringing the much needed accountability into the system. Social cops will also be publishing monthly social analytics to bring transparency- which localities authorities are slowest to respond, where are the maximum reported problems from, etc.
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.
Currently, Social Cops is working to solve a problem that is larger than itself- and we consider anyone trying to solve the same problem allies rather than competitors. But due to the innovative nature of Social Cops- the technological platform provided to address problems- we currently do not have any direct competitors.

As citizens of the nation, we have always complained. We've always blamed everything that isn't right on the 'System'- corruption is the government's problem, unclean roads is the municipalities problem, a girl being molested in the train is the police's problem. As citizens of the nation, we were tired of being 'mute spectators' and wanted to create a channel for ourselves to initiate change. While on one hand, we realised that using technology it would be easy to create a channel for citizens to voice their concerns- we did not understand how mere citizen journalism could be used to create change. The 'Aha' moment came when we realised that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi had recently created a Facebook page inviting citizens to upload pictures regarding garbage problems and were promptly actioning on the same. Suddenly, the Social Cops model seemed viable: Connecting citizens- giving them a reason to report problems using the social gaming feature to the administration.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The underlying goal behind Social Cops is to give citizens a voice to create change. We would like to ensure that the common citizen's voice is not only heard, but is also actioned upon. We believe that common problems such as garbage, unclean roads & water leakages must be actioned upon immediately & the citizen voice will help the public administration quickly identify and rectify the problem. We will be satisfied if we are successful in bringing accountability & transparency to the public administration system of India.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
While Social Cops has not officially launched, we have built the prototype in the Windows Phone platform which went on to become the runners up in the Microsoft Imagine Cup Singapore 2012. We have also begun actively campaigning for the cause, building an active community of 200 supporters in 2 days of launch. We are also working to build the products on the Android, Blackberry & iOS platforms to launch the product in January 2013.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Over the next five years, we hope to solve atleast 100k problems related to public administration and expand to all the major cities & technological hubs in India. We believe that in 5 years we will be able to build a scalable model that can be taken to other developing countries as well.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Our biggest barrier at the moment is the cost involved in being able to implement the project. We have initiated a crowd funding campaign on http://www.indiegogo.com/SocialCops to help us gather the initial costs involved in starting up.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Cortes Island is a small, remote community. The youth and the seniors have limited opportunities for engaging programming. The closest community is 45 minutes away plus ferry lineup time, and the cost to travel to programs further afield is a significant barrier. United Way
research has identified seniors as a highly vulnerable population in Canada. Many seniors struggle with loneliness, poverty, isolation, and despair. The majority of families on Cortes have moved here from other, often distant communities. Few seniors on Cortes Island have
children or family who live locally, few youth share this island with grandparents. This project has been created through an identified need for building lasting connection between young people and seniors.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Youth and Seniors Film Program will create meaningful inter-generational connections between young people and marginalized seniors through the facilitated production of youth-made films that capture the personal stories of Cortes Island seniors. While empowering
young people with film production and distribution skills, the finished videos will provide a much needed voice for seniors dealing with alienation, loneliness, poverty, and other issues. The films created in this project will foster empathy and understanding in the thousands of
people that watch them online and in the touring Reel Youth film festival, while providing high-impact programming for the youth and senior participants.
Many seniors lack connection with young people, and vice versa. Digital story telling is a medium for engagement, mutual curiosity, and relationship building. Youth learn how to ask deeper questions, find connecting threads and themes, bring elders experience into a larger
context.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Trained Reel Youth program facilitators will work directly with youth and senior participants, helping them build mutual trust and communication to tell the elder's story through the younger's vision and creativity and film. The program is a journey into the process of creative
collaboration and an opportunity for the youth to step into the role of storyteller, helping them uncover a sense of community responsibility.
As the youth work with the seniors to speak about their past, ideas, and the change they want to see in their lives and communities, the youth gain insight into another side of life on the island and access to relevant media literacy skills.
The youth learn how to:
• use a video camera,
• set up lighting,
• compose a shot,
• interview with the intention of capturing a narrative
• empathize with an experience that is very divergent from their own and use film to build empathy for their older partner
• create a story arc out of their footage and share their understanding of another, and
• translate these skills into a film that expresses their unique perspectives.
The youth are introduced to Final Cut Pro editing software and work with a professional editor to complete their film. Youth leave the program with an increased sense of capacity, confidence. Seniors leave the program with greater connection to the islands youth, the very-real social benefit of having been seen, heard, and valued for who they are and youth allies who may go on to be resources for support from chopping
wood to getting groceries.
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.
In such a tiny community, it is essential for organizations and people alike to pool resources and work together. Teen Szene and Adventures in Leadership are programs for youth run by the Cortes Community Health Association, while Seniors Helping Seniors is a project of
the Cortes Island Seniors Society. These organizations and projects are working toward helping Cortes youth and seniors separately, but the Youth and Seniors Film Project is unique in bringing the younger and elder segments of the community together, to build empathy,
mutual understanding, share learning, stories, and passed-down cultural heritage.
There are other youth film organizations in BC, but none that bring programming to the communities for free, rather then having participants travel to the opportunity.

Mark Vonesch, founder and director of Reel Youth, went to University for finance and almost became an investment banker. Twelve years ago, after getting a video camera while tree planting, and becoming disillusioned with the finance industry, Mark moved out west,
bought a computer, taught himself how to edit, and produced the documentary, 'A Working Forest'. During this time Mark began volunteering with youth organizations and started experimenting with how to make impactful short films with young people in limited amounts
of time. The 'aha' moment came when Mark began asking youth, 'What are the issues in your community that you're concerned about?' and 'What would you like to see changed in your community?' These questions sparked the non-profit organization Reel Youth, designed to
engage young people through film making, to articulate, and become advocates for, the issues in their community they care about most.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Youth will pick up social skills, media empowerment, and film
production knowledge, which will be directly beneficial to both the youth and the community. The seniors will feel acknowledged and valued as they share in the connection with their respective younger participant.
The Cortes community will benefit from increased youth engagement, greater intergenerational empathy, increased senior well-being, and, through watching the films, an increased understanding of the local seniors. As the community learns the stories of their seniors, they
connect with a greater sense of compassion, understanding and ability to support this vulnerable population.
The films will be showcased at a local film festival screening, distributed online, and all participants will receive DVDs.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since inception, Reel Youth has produced over 1000 short films with 5000 young people in BC and internationally in Morocco, India, Nepal and Vietnam. The films have been viewed over 500,000 times through YouTube, DVD distribution, and Reel Youth's touring film
festival. Youth report a stronger sense of connection to their peers and an increased ability to act as advocates for the issues they care about most. Seniors who have participated in past programs report a better understanding of youth culture and strengthened relationships with
young people in their community.
The films produced in our programs have been successfully used for advocating change around environmental issues, bullying, relationships with family, employment opportunities, access to resources in remote communities, dialogue and understanding of First Nation
cultures.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
* Develop leadership skills and confidence in young island people
* Build capacity for media production and distribution for ongoing story telling between Cortes seniors & youth
* Record the history of our elders
* Create a more resilient community who understands and addresses the issues of its seniors, celebrates its youth, and has greater knowledge of it's collective history.
Reel Youth plans to diversify programming and run more intergenerational projects like this. True community development involves all generations and implementing this project on Cortes Island will strengthen the bonds between young and old people living in the
community and provide a deeper understanding for the whole community around the issues that seniors face.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The biggest barrier to intergenerational film production programming is finding innovative funders that see the value in bringing intergenerational groups together. There are lots of funding opportunities for youth and seniors as separate groups, but very few funders who are
looking for projects that bring both age groups together. Marketing the idea to funders and showcasing the work that we have already completed with seniors and youth will support the growth of intergenerational funding opportunities.

Reel Youth
programs happen in partnership with schools, municipalities, government service agencies, and non-profit social and environmental organizations. We have worked with participants from kindergarden to seniors as individual groups and this project will showcase the impact
and need for more intergenerational programs.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
Most of our programming happens with teenagers,
but we also facilitate animation and video production and capacity building programs with tweens and adults.
Reel Youth is based in-part on Cortes Island, and is committed to providing accessible local programs to benefit the community. The scope of Reel Youth's work is much larger than the population of Cortes, so the majority of our programming happens elsewhere. We have worked with participants from kindergarden to seniors as individual groups and this project will showcase the impact
and need for more intergenerational programs.

They key to Reel Youth's success has been the building of a team of facilitators that have strong skills in holding safe spaces for youth to express themselves authentically and strong film production and distribution skills. Reel Youth staff play multiple roles from
administrative, communication, partnership engagement, facilitation, editing, and film distribution. This ensures that we are non-reliant on one specific staff member to accomplish our goals and keeps staff morale high with a diversity of tasks.
Por favor, pon en claro las necesidades u ofertas que hayas mencionado anteriormente y/o sugiere categorías de apoyo que no están especificadas en la lista
We are happy to form partnerships with others who value our work and may want to contribute to achieving our mission: Providing media empowerment programming to support youth, adults, and organizations in creating and distributing engaging films about the issues

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.
Por favor, pon en claro las necesidades u ofertas que hayas mencionado anteriormente y/o sugiere categorías de apoyo que no están especificadas en la lista
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.

TRANSFORMING ART WORKSHOPS FOR FIRST NATION TEENS
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento

¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Operando entre 1-5 años
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Youth around native communities are facing big challenges regarding drug and alcohol abuse, violence,identity quest, orientation and much more. They need stimulating creative activities and projects that will make them feel good about themselves, give them a sense of belonging to their community but at the same time feel they take part in our modern society.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Art is transforming, it is a bridge to the soul. I believe troubled teens would highly benefit from inspiring artistic activities rooted in their own tradition, but channeled in contemporary ways of expression. I have worked 17 years as an animator in postproduction industry working of advertising campains, films, tv and movie titles and openings and 7 years teaching art workshops to adults and teens, more specifically native teens for the last 3 years. I do my own promotion for shows and events. I have a facility to feel and connect with native teens, I can guide them in specific multimedia projects that will teach them contemporary skills in art, film directing and editing.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
What I propose is the realisation of a short film project (10 minutes) to a small group of native teens. The project would include artistic activities such as grafiti, murals, paintings and drawing inspired by a chosen theme. The direction and editing of the film would be done by the group and a special event would be created to present the films to the community.
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?
Wapikoni mobile, manon barbeau is a beautiful example of project that makes a difference in the native communities. What I offer is the artistic guidance and hands on artistic activities that would be part of the movie projects.
There seems to be a great need for teens to be inspired and stimulated in native communities.So I think there is room for positive input and action.

Acceso a recursos humanos/ consultoría.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
In the past few years, the artistic workshops that I developed for the Cree Teens, have proved to help a group of teens who were grieving friends who committed suicide. The feedback from community members and social workers was very positive. Also, artistic workshops delivered during bush program activities for youth healing services were said to be very efficient in keeping the youth stimulated, pacific, centered and joyful. Elders from the community of Mistissini tell me that their grandchildren really love the workshops and like the way I teach. I have been keeping in touch with many of the students and visit them regularly.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
I would like to see some of the teens come up with their own artistic projects that brighten their lives and others. I would like to see them choose healthier and more creative ways through self realization, initiative and a feeling that they belong to the bigger world, by putting on canvas or camera, their vision, their passion, their ways of walking this earth.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
I would like to be able to supply the teens with video equipment that up to date
and facilities to realize, produce and edit short films.
How to overcome: sponsorship, grants, professional advice.

I was invited to spend some time in the bush with a group of 8 teens from youth healing services of mistissini in a very informal manner, as a guest and a friend of the director of the bush program. I had my art box with me. As I was doing art spontaneously during the 15 day period, I have been asked almost everyday by the teens to lend them paint, pencils, papers, charcoal so they could play too. I ended up spending a lot of time with them in artistic play, painting on driftwood, making signs for the camp and more. At the end of the camp, The director told me he never had such and easy group and he was convinced that the art was the reason. He made sure I officially took part in more organized artistic workshops for the bush program for the 2 following summers.

Amateur sports in Canada is in a Catch-22 situation. In order to attract corporate sponsorship funding, provincial and national sporting events in Canada need more media coverage to create a larger following. But the media won't cover these events because there isn't a large enough following.
Our solution is to increase the exposure of amateur sports in Canada by creating our own network specifically focused on Canadian amateur sports at all levels across the entire country. Anyone with internet access can watch the live broadcasts completely free of charge.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
At SportsCanada.TV we have created a new network for Canadian amateur sports using live internet streaming technologies. We provide a professional and affordable solution for event hosts to broadcast their events to the entire world over the internet. We offer event hosts a number of options to fit any budget, from a free "self-broadcast" option where we provide the bandwidth and tech support for the host to cover their own event using volunteers to a full production option where we provide all the equipment and staff to produce a professional broadcast with features including multiple camera angles, instant replays and live scoreboard overlays.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
For the past few years we have broadcast a number of provincial, national and international events hosted in BC and have established a large viewership audience. Some of the largest sports organizations in Canada now have "channels" on our network where all their previous broadcasts have been archived.
Our live internet broadcasts provide families, friends and fans the opportunity to watch our Canadian amateur athletes compete regardless of where the event is taking place in Canada. For example, many student athletes leave home to compete in college and university athletics and now their parents can still watch every game.
The archives of these broadcasts are also routinely used for athlete, coach and official development as well.
We have covered of a number of national and international wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball events, and have heard back that these broadcasts provided exposure for these sports and have inspired other athletes with disabilities to participate in them.
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.
We have a few competitors that broadcast sports online but most use the pay per view model. The whole idea behind the SportsCanada.TV network is to increase the exposure of amateur sport so we are against pay per view. We want the broadcasts to be available to as many people as possible.
I feel my background as a former college athlete in BC and my years of experience working in amatuer sports (at Basketball BC) has given me a huge advantage because I now have an excellent understanding of the amatuer sports sector in Canada.

SportsCanada.TV was founded by Choyal Brown in December of 2008. As a former Canadian college
basketball player, Choyal felt that local mainstream sports media did not offer the range or depth of
coverage that Canadian high school and collegiate sports deserved. In 2009 SportsCanada.TV began webcasting games for a handful of colleges in BC and by the end of the year nearly 30 others colleges across Canada expressed interest in joining the network.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Our goal at SportsCanada.TV is to continue to grow into the largest amateur sports network in Canada, and to be able to attract enough corporate sponsorship that we can provide our production services to event hosts completely free of charge.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
SportsCanada.TV has provided Canadian amateur sports fans a network that allows them the opportunity to watch their favorite sporting events live. Our new media outlet has dramatically increased the coverage of amateur sports in Canada and is giving our Canadian athletes the much needed exposure they deserve. We are on pace to double our web traffic from last year... we look like we will hit an incredible 4,000,000 page views in 2012 alone.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
We project that TV and the internet will continue to merge and we will be providing exclusive online coverage for over 25 sports in Canada and reach over 2 million page views a month by 2017.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
One of the largest barriers we face is event hosts not understanding the importance of webcasting their events. Many events are run by an older demographic who have been doing the same thing for years and do not understand that fans would love to follow their event live.

This past March we started working with the Provincial High School associations in BC, Alberta and Ontario.
We also have a partnership with the BCIT broadcasting program and we hire their students to do our productions.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
We originally focused on events in Western Canada, specifically BC and Alberta but now we are looking to expand our coverage into Eastern Canada as well. I believe it is important to engage and unite the whole country in sport so athletes can benchmark themselves against the best athletes in the country.

3. Another Slice University is a series of short episodic films about street life. Each film is written and produced by youth and distributed on iTunes University - connecting us with universities around the world, and enabling us to reach anyone who uses iTunes. Another Slice University provides an educational resource that seeks to end intolerance and prejudice towards homeless youth.
Through this program and access to creative tools, we provide an opportunity for social inclusion and creative expression where it might not have existed before. It builds relationships with the community, skills and knowledge that lead to greater stability, health, educational opportunities and employment.
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.
This program is part of a unique 24/7 service for homeless and at-risk youth. It is an open access program that does not require application to participate and therefore has no competitors.

In 2004, the Media Resource facilitator - Colin, who at the time, was managing a music store on the downtown eastside. He noticed homeless youth coming in regularly to play instruments but could not afford to purchase. Colin recognized a need and approached various at-risk youth organizations. In 2005, he began volunteering at Directions as a music instructor and conducted a fundraiser with his company for the purchase of instruments. Subsequently, with the support of the VP - Youth Services, they developed a plan for a Media Resources program to facilitate access and inclusion in the arts. This provided a creative outlet for youth at risk and developed into a program that included audio recording, video production and website facilitation.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The goal is to provide ongoing mentorship and creative outlets to build capacity in a vulnerable youth population. In addition to the current video and audio components of the program, we would like to provide an inclusive environment that encourages participation, self expression and creativity.
To provide a significant training ground for youth in dramatic arts. Through this we wish to accomplish the following:
Develop skills in language and all expressive mechanisms.
Learn the elements of stagecraft and production.
Learn the channels for dramatic work through productions and alternative forms of theatrical expressions.
To realize opportunities for leadership, group participation and advocacy.
Develop Literacy skills.
Enhance skills that can transfer to paid employment.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
80% of youth who access the centre took part in the Media program.
Multi-media activities including the following:
6 varying classes per week with an average of 10 participants in each class.
83% of youth reported that their involvement in this program has improved their lives.
87% reported an increased support network.
74% reported increased control over their lives.
77% reported decreased stress.
Youth reported that they felt free to have fun and learn other ways to communicate and be creative. Some felt the experience was theraputic as they learn tools to express themselves through music and art, had time to relax away from the street, reduce stress and keep their mind off substance misuse and the stress inherent in their daily lives.
As a result of youth participation:
- 1 youth was accepted at Vancouver Film School under a scholarship
- 2 youth gained employment at Electronic Arts
- 3 youth gained employment with a local film company
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
The projected impact is to achieve the following:
85% of youth who access the centre take part in the Media program.
85% of youth report that their involvement in this program has improved their lives.
85% report an increased support network.
75% report increased control over their lives.
80% report decreased stress.
Maintain existing classes and add a theatre production class.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Beyond cost, the barriers that hinder the success of this program are the barriers that are faced by the vulnerable population of youth. These include trauma, mental health, physical well-being, homelessness, addiction and under employment. To overcome these barriers, the Media program will continue to work within Directions Youth Services Centre accessing the expertise of the centre staff that include Housing workers, addiction workers, pre-employment program, outreach workers, on site medical staff, etc. This ensures that youth have a full range of services to support their mental, physical, spiritual and creative growth.

Which of the following best describes the barrier(s) your solution addresses? Choose up to two
Acceso, Costo, Equidad.
The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
The elders of BCs First Nations are dying. With them will go a wealth of knowledge about the land and people. the stories that define us a a diversity of humanity need to be recorded. landsongs is a web application to help communities record the ir stories. This need is heightened in the fa e of industrial development and pressure. Knowing the places which are sacred and special can help communities make better decisions about their own futures.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Landsongs.com is a web application which a community can use to record their stories. These stories are geolocated on a map and can have media attached to them. A community can develop a project using this application as a convenient datastore, getting their youth to interview the community's elders and recording them in the system. Those records can have keywords attached and subsequently be searched by the rest of the community. thus providing a living library of their culture.
Landsongs is built using geoweb technologies meaning that it has geographic capabilities built in. presently the application has been used by one community and is about to be supplied to a further two. The application is currently being built out to support numerous communities. Allowing easy, affordable access to technology which would previously have been unattainable.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The Tsay Keh Dene first asked for an application like landsongs to be built. They asked this so they could fully understand the history of a specific place in response to industrial interest. This application has allowed them to compare modern environmental monitoring data with their own histories to better understand how the land is reacting to various activities.
This application is now housing many of the Tsay Keh's stories and their database grows as the elders remember more. One story will lead to another and soon the map fills up with tales of history, facts about hunting areas and journeys people have taken across the landscape. The act of recording the stories means that community members can return to the application and learn more about their own culture.
This application is actively used in land management decisions as well as supporting the treaty process. It is hoped that it might be used in the community school in the future.
These experiences teach the individuals involved to remember, but they also remind the rest of us that there is more to our culture than Hollywood, and more to our histories than is presently written down.
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.
This market is hugely fragmented. There are few direct competitors, but a number of big technology providers on the periphery of the central feature of landsongs, which is the capture of a community's stories.
The direct competitors come in the form of bespoke software developers that have written applications for individual communities. The large technology providers (ESRI etc) generally provide a generalized desktop GIS solution, which could be morphed into a suitable solution. But this path is beset with capacity issues.
Landsongs seeks to be a solution which does not need a technician to run it. Leveraging the 'facebook generation" landsongs can hopefully help bind the young and old through storytelling.

I have built a version of this system for a local first nation. Other Nations have looked at the technology and realized that this might also fill a hugely important hole in their data collection. The aha, was realizing that i could provide a system via the web which is socially important, useful and affordable to First Nations.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
I want to ensure that we as a species hold on to our cultural diversity. Presently we are all becoming "North Americanized" , there is more to our cultural history than Hollywood.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have provided this solution to three first nations and have been collecting their stories for them. thus far these have been one-offs. we ned to systematize this solution so it can be generally available
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
We think we can be useful to indigenous cultures and community groups across the world. Regarding First Nations we believe we can provide this solution to 10 new nations per year, with present capacity. increasing capacity we can help more communities.

Connecting South Sudanese women through digital media
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento

¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Operando menos de un año
¿Cuál de las siguientes describe mejor la(s) barrera(s)s a la que da respuesta tu innovación? Elige hasta dos.
Acceso, Calidad.
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Our project brings together two of the world’s most powerful tools: the media and the internet. Digital media steers policy, charity, investment, tourism and political will. Yet it is riddled with black holes and blind spots. Women and girls are globally sidelined as contributors, particularly those with low economic status, living with disabilities or low literacy. South Sudan is the world's newest state but suffers some of the worst developmental indicators. Approx 90% of South Sudanese women are illiterate; their rights to education and security stifled by 22 years of civil war, sexual violence and displacement. Yet 52% of voters in last year's referendum were women. Their role as architects of this new nation will be crucial. They need the skills to share that journey with the world.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our project will work with 60 women and girls in South Sudan to map their access to local technology and design realistic media training according to the tools at hand. We will collaborate with academic partners to research the prevalence and reliability of local digital resources. We will then offer ambitious but feasible media training that will demystify citizen journalism and help trainees use and maximise the tools around them. The training will cover new media such as podcasts and blogging by SMS which don't rely on strong literacy.
For all our trainees, Radar will act as a specialist news agency, linking them with media creators, mentors and editors across the world in partnership with BBC Media Action and the Guardian Foundation.
10% of trainees will receive additional training as Media Coordinators to help sustain the national network and in return, Radar will equip and register them as fixers with international media outlets opening new opportunities for income generation
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The digital divide is deepened by a lack of reliable information about technological accessibility for different demographic groups. We will collaborate with academic partners to research the prevalence and reliability of digital and media production resources in each locality, and gather information about the practical, social and attitudinal barriers that women face in accessing computers, software, modems, smart phones, mobile and telephone lines, and recording equipment.
Many of these existing resources will be owned by government depts, NGOs, health and education institutions, private businesses and media outlets and used by a small group during working hours. We will partner with businesses and institutions to open access to these resources for our trainees.
We will then offer ambitious but feasible media training that will demystify citizen journalism and help trainees harness the tools around them. At the end of the training 60 women and girls will understand how to source reliable information and manage quotes, understand the legal and practical considerations in whistle-blowing and criticism, show a basic grasp of a range of media and production tools including micro-blogging via SMS, posting photos, video and audio clips, collecting data, online mapping and social networking. We will also offer guidance on reporting on crisis, health, elections and climate change.
Trainees will be introduced to mentors and editors who can work with them to produce quality media for international media platforms, amplifying voices that would otherwise remain below the radar.

Several major media bodies offer media training in South Sudan such as BBC Media Action, Internews, Reuters and The Union of Journalists of South Sudan, who all support and train journalists.
While the resources, experience and partnership of these agencies will be valuable, much of their work is on advancing professional journalism in country and offering additional skills to those already working in media production. Our focus is on promoting citizen journalism in low connectivity settings and gender inclusion within digital access.
The challenge will be to form sustainable partnerships that avoid duplication, streamline resources and share funding opportunities. We are open to collaboration and hope to offer a bridge between NGO, academic and media bodies.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Radar is a new development start-up, founded this summer. Our first project is due to take place in Sierra Leone in October and we will use that experience to improve on our solution and take on board participants’ feedback in time for our project in South Sudan in March 2013.
We have already established partnerships and working relationships with BBC Media Action, the Guardian Foundation and South Sudanese media outlets which will secure a broadcast and multimedia platform for our trainees across the world. We are developing open sourced media training materials which are accessible to those with low literacy and sensory disabilities.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next 1-3 years this project will contribute to the following outcomes:
Challenge isolation and empower women and girls in South Sudan through media development;
Connect 60 new female citizen journalists to one another and to media outlets across the world;
Build local media capacity and independence;
Improve public awareness and coverage of South Sudan;
Improve the quality and richness of international media by adding to the diversity of voice;
Challenge gender stereotypes locally, nationally and globally;
Highlight and expand the reach of digital media in South Sudan;
Generate new data and research regarding access to technology.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Poor mobile and internet connectivity can be minimised by offering guidelines for uploading content from a low connectivity setting and drawing on our partnerships to ensure connection lines are shared.
National or regional instability will need to be monitored through liaison with field partners and through Twitter and local media networks.
To ensure ongoing funding, we will build up a diverse funding portfolio using tools such as crowd-funding sites such as Kickstarter, Twitter and Facebook to expand our donor network.
To overcome language & literacy barriers we will ensure that material is translated into a range of local languages and audiovisual.
To help to remove the cost barrier of expenses incurred by the trainee in the media production, Radar will commission work for $15.

This story starts on the edge of Freetown, in a derelict scrapyard that is home to a group of 25 disabled street children. As a foreign journalist, I stood and listened as a young man shouted and screamed at me in frustration. At 21, Fengai had been on the streets for a decade, his body disfigured by polio and his chances for a livelihood destroyed by a family and a society who feared and rejected him.
A week later, I sat in a tiny radio station in the rural town on Kabala listening to young women called Elizabeth Katta. Her story echoed Fengai’s. When polio stuck, she was starved and beaten by her mother who thought she was possessed. The story splits at the point where she was found by an NGO who gave her basic media training to challenge the entrenched beliefs around disability through radio. That day, her words flowed into the mic and into the homes of listeners: "The time for action is now! We have been hidden for too long. We are here and we speak for the voiceless'.

We have an official partnership with the Guardian Foundation and a working relationship with BBC Media Action. These partnerships are hugely valuable as they will allow us to access editorial networks in both broadcast and print journalism as well as the training resources developed by both institutions. Through these partnerships our networks at a global and local level have expanded significantly and will continue to develop.
We are also partnering with Leonard Cheshire Disability to ensure the accessibility of our materials and online content.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
There is a need to close the gap between educational opportunities for boys and for girls in Latin America. In particular, we encourage our female students not only to enroll in our filmmaking workshops but also to pursue careers in the visual arts.
In order to address this need, we facilitate the self-representation, creative expression, and economic advancement of Latin American underserved young women through equal access to digital media training and resources. Besides training our high school age participants in digital video production and distribution, we also guide them through the process of applying to college, looking for financial resources to pay for their studies, and provide them with opportunities for them to intern and work as visual artists.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our program seeks to fortify the ideas and practices of social justice through collaboration between professionals, cultural organizations and students from Latin America. Specifically, our program represents an innovative proposal within the fields of community arts. Taking as a point of departure the dynamic function of art to transform societies, we believe that arts-education, and specifically film education, plays a significant role in the overall discussion and in the search for solutions to a wide range of problems facing contemporary societies. Among the problems addressed by our program are: the unequal power relations between teachers and students and between the developed countries and Latin America, the co-optation of youth knowledge, the lack of jobs and educational opportunities for minority female high-school students in Ecuador, the deficiency of secondary education, the contempt and disdain for the arts, and the urgent need to foster critical thinking.

With this in mind, in May 2009 La Poderosa Media Project launched a Community-Based Arts Education Program in Ecuador. 2013 will be the fifth consecutive summer that a group consisting of professionals and students spends six weeks in Bahía de Caráquez collaborating and fostering promotive interaction between different demographic groups through the production of short films. Thus, La Poderosa Media Project utilizes a visual arts education program to develop in our young female participants a sense of civic responsibility, social justice, and community engagement through a “doing with” rather than a “doing for” approach.
Our Filmmaking classes are geared toward female Latin American students (high school age) and provides them with the knowledge, tools, and skills needed to produce short films and documentaries. Through intensive multimedia workshops taught by professional filmmakers and media specialists, we instruct both theory and practice, focusing on the three stages of filmmaking: pre-production, production, and post-production.
Students learn about script writing, acting, filming, sound recording, editing, among other elements related to the production of short films. By the end of each workshop the students will have learned how to create, film, and distribute their own stories.

Though there are some other programs that provide audiovisual classes to underserved youth in Ecuador, none of them provide them with the opportunity to continue learning beyond the duration of the workshop. In other words, we provide post-workshop support to our students. Specifically, we help them enroll in college, find internships, explore alternative career options, and so forth. Our Programa de Eduación Audivisual a Distancia (P.E.A.D.), launched in 2010, has two main objectives. On the one hand, it is a monitoring tool aimed at continuing working with former students so as to maintain the relation started during the onsite Visual Arts Program. On the other hand, and from a pedagogical point of view, the P.E.A.D. allows the group to further study contents relevant to our core values.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have directly benefited more than 200 Latin American and American students. Indirectly, we have also benefited their families and their towns in the sense that we strive for the education of committed and informed citizens who will have a positive impact in their communities.
As of today, we have produced 14 short films and documentaries, many of which have been screened nationally and internationally. One of them, for instance, won third price in a regional film festival on 2010. Another student film was selected to participate at the Rio Film Festival, the largest audiovisual event in Latin America.
We expect to expand our program in 2013 and reach hundreds of families in Ecuador and Chile.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In the next three years, we expect to expand to two more countries in Latin America (Colombia and Chile). This means that our current location (Bahía de Caráquez, Ecuador) will serve as our on-site training center for new teachers. Also, Ecuador will be the first country to have a local production company run entirely by our female graduates. In the next three years, we expect to have impacted the lives of 300 new participants.
Our community-based approach not only has resulted in a very successful model but has also proven to be replicable in communities where young people lack the tools to make their voices heard. Thus, we have been successful in implementing our pilots in both rural and urban communities where our students where of indigenous, mestizo or African descent.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
At this point, our main barrier is the lack of stable financial support. So far we have managed to fundraise enough money as to cover our program costs. However, expansion means more expenses. We hope to secure funding for the next three years as to continue spreading our model to other regions of Ecuador and Latin America.

A couple of months ago I was surprised after opening my Facebook account to find that Adriana-a student in La Poderosa--had been included in a photo album posted by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Culture. Adriana, who has participated in our audiovisual workshops since the summer of 2010, is sitting calmly alongside well-known representatives of cultural circles in Ecuador. What really caught my eye, though, was that he had worn his Poderosa t-shirt and that several other participants had all done the same, forming an easily identifiable section of the public at this event organized by the National Cinematography Administration. Though I was unaware of the theme of the conference, the students' presence was very encouraging. Three years after having begun the audiovisual workshops in their small community, La Poderosa was showing concrete results.

The Global Press Institute (GPI)’s work has been continuously recognized and lauded by both journalism and social justice organizations for its unique and effective impact. All told, GPI has won more than a dozen journalism awards and honors. In 2008, founder Cristi Hegranes received the Ida B. Wells Award for Bravery in Journalism. In 2010, the Society of Professional Journalists recognized GPI for Bravery in Journalism. Last year GPI received the prestigious Kurt Schork Prize from the Reuters Foundation for Excellence in International Reporting for its coverage of political rape in Zimbabwe, and Cristi was honored with a Jefferson Award for Public Service. Earlier this year, GPI reporter Chanda Katongo was named Journalist of the Year in Zambia, while Jackee Batanda of the GPI Uganda News Desk received the Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship at Harvard University.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
GPI uses journalism as a tool to solve two pressing global challenges: women's empowerment and the decline of quality international reporting. These problems know no boundaries: in too many developing countries women lack access to professional skills and networks, while news coverage of the developing world wanes. Over the last 25 years, foreign news in daily newspapers has declined by 53% and more than 60% of all foreign bureaus have been closed. Most remaining coverage of the developing world is conducted by foreign correspondents who are parachuted into a country, often don’t speak the language, and don’t understand the culture. This shapes the news we see, and deprives women in these countries of a chance to use their natural storytelling skills to report on their own communities.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Using digital technology, GPI educates, employs, and empowers women in the developing world through the practice of professional journalism. GPI offers women a unique training-to-employment opportunity that builds the skills necessary for success in professional journalism – including reporting, digital literacy, ethics, and advanced writing – and then provides them with long-term employment as journalists. GPI reporters are paid a living wage to cover every aspect of life, politics, society, and culture in their communities.
GPI operates news desks in 25 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and has trained and employed more than 130 women. Their stories – generally 1-2 each month per reporter – are published on GPI’s newswire and are syndicated to more than 50 news outlets around the world, ranging from small, local language outlets to major news agencies such as the BBC, Reuters, and UPI.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
As a young woman growing up in rural Nepal, Tara Bhattarai dreamed of becoming a journalist. But with little formal education and few opportunities for women journalists, her dream seemed out of reach. Then in 2007 GPI opened an office in Kathmandu. Tara and four other local women participated in GPI’s "The Principles & The Practice" training program, a 2-week intensive on ethical storytelling using digital technologies, followed by six months of targeted reporting exercises. Armed with a kit of multimedia tools, Tara and the other GPI reporters in Nepal learned to use digital platforms to increase access to information and create social change.
In the years since that first training, Tara has earned a strong living wage from GPI and has published more than 100 investigative feature stories on a range of pressing social issues. Working within the GPI editorial structure, she has received constant coaching, feedback and skill development. In 2010, the Prime Minister of Nepal became aware of Tara’s high-impact reporting and human storytelling, and along with other members of Parliament he used one of Tara’s articles about violence among inter-caste couples as the basis for a new law criminalizing such violence.
Tara has won or been shortlisted for more than eight international journalism awards, and earlier this year she fulfilled another dream when she became the GPI Country Editor for the Nepal news desk. As editor, Tara is responsible for training and employing the next generation of women in Nepal who dream of creating social change through journalism.

GPI's unique training-to-employment model sets it apart. While many international development and media organizations provide training, few offer opportunities for ongoing practical application of learned skills. Additionally, GPI reporters write and publish in their native languages, so they are not obliged to know English to participate in the program – a requirement at most other organizations in this field. Our closest competitors are World Pulse (an English-only blog platform that does not pay its contributors) and Women's eNews (which does not provide training or long-term employment, and requires knowledge of English or Arabic). However, we have active training and content-sharing partnerships with these groups to strengthen our collective work, so we do not see them as a threat.

Acceso a tecnologia, Acceso a educación/capacitación, Acceso a oportunidades económicas.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
GPI has had an enormous impact. The combination of training and employment in a dignified profession empowers GPI reporters and provides the means by which they can elevate living standards for themselves and their families. 98% of GPI journalists report feeling empowered as a result of their work with the organization.
By covering stories ignored elsewhere and increasing access to information in countries that do not have free and global media, GPI promotes global awareness about the developing world.
Additionally, more than 25% of GPI stories in the last year have catalyzed direct action, sparking social protest, provoking international attention to issues first covered by GPI, and even changing laws in a country. For example, this June, after GPI Kashmir reporter Aliya Bashir wrote about a local children's hospital where more than 500 children had died since January due to faulty ventilators, Doctors Without Borders and Project Hope contacted GPI about donating ventilators.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next three years GPI plans to add additional reporters and editors to our current news desks, supply more of our news desks with multi-media technology and training, build a syndication platform and extensive new syndication partnerships, and formalize our model for creating social change through journalism. This will lead to more trained and empowered women journalists in the developing world; a much larger readership for our original content; and significantly more news stories being generated by GPI that create social impact. We strive for this multi-level impact model: empowered women, an informed global citizenry, and social change that results from transparency and public pressure.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Geopolitics and security issues are the biggest potential threats to GPI's work. We address these risks by not working in active conflict zones, conducting thorough security assessments before opening a news desk in a country, implementing rigorous security protocols, and working closely with the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Another potential barrier that could hinder our success would be our reporters, who now have marketable skills, being hired away by other news organizations. While this would be, in a sense, a natural and welcome development for the women, GPI tries to retain reporters by paying a living wage and promoting our most talented reporters to Senior Reporters. Furthermore, we mitigate against any harm to our program by employing multiple reporters at each news desk.

Cristi Hegranes founded GPI after serving for 11 months as a foreign correspondent in Nepal, where she began to recognize many entrenched, problematic aspects of her profession. Most correspondents were parachuted into a country, didn’t speak the language, and didn’t understand the culture. They lacked access to real people and often wrote through a lens of bias and stereotype. The reality of developing nations such as Nepal was eclipsed by stories on war, disaster and disease.
While reporting from a village in Eastern Nepal, Cristi met Pratima, the community matriarch. Pratima was passionate, literate and an incredible storyteller, but she lacked two critical tools that Cristi had access to: journalism training and a credible global platform. It was then that Cristi decided to found GPI, to empower women like Pratima – local women, with social, historical, political context – by providing training and a professional platform to share their stories.

To enhance its impact and enable other social change organizations to benefit from its work, GPI maintains strong partnerships with dozens of nonprofits. These partnerships include working with Free the Slaves to create a training module on Reporting Modern Slavery; sharing GPI’s "The Principles and The Practice" curriculum with news organizations such as World Pulse; and providing content to nonprofits including the Center for Reproductive Rights, the Global Fund for Women (in process), the Institute for Inclusive Security, NPR, and Women’s eNews.

GPI's biggest pro-bono needs right now are for an accountant and an auditor. We are always looking for collaboration opportunities to strengthen our work, share our expertise, and market our content. We can, as appropriate, make connections for other initiatives to partner media outlets, and we can share ideas, research, and information that our journalists generate in the course of reporting.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education is critical in developing not only basic problem solving and logical thinking skills, but also in creating a critical mass of innovators and inventors to meet the challenges of an increasing tech-driven and global economy. Women, however, are severely underrepresented in STEM careers, and the problem begins as early as elementary school. At age nine, girls and boys have similar test scores in math and science, but by age thirteen, these scores drift dramatically apart – with girls citing STEM subjects to be for boys, or as too difficult or technical. As a result, girls develop negative perceptions around their abilities and self-confidence, and take themselves out of the market for a range of potential careers and possibilities.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Gametastic’s mission is to re-engage girls in STEM subjects through gaming. Gametastic’s game will allow players to design their own game though the traditional mechanics of game play. Players will be able to build and create their own characters and game environment, as well as develop an overall narrative - with objectives, challenges, rewards, points, levels and more. As gamers play their way through the Gametastic game, they will be using programming, design and storytelling skills to build their own unique story. Players will then be able to publish their games or specific game modules they have developed to the Gametastic global community, where they can share their games and challenge others to play.
Gametastic seeks to bridge the gap in gaming, storytelling and education - empowering girls with the tools to succeed academically, and providing them with greater choice, confidence and opportunity to feel that they can be whatever it is that they want to be when they grow up.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Girls that play the Gametastic game will be exposed to basic elements of computer programming and design, all the while being immersed in the world of game play. By developing a fun, engaging and educational medium, girls will learn basic skills related to technology, engineering and storytelling. These skills serve as a foundation for a variety of careers in the future, and provide girls with the self-confidence needed to pursue these potential careers.
When a girl plays the Gametastic game, she will be designing and creating her own world - the environment, the characters and the challenges, and she can share this world with her peers. Not only will girls learn basic skills in game design and development, but they will create a final product that they can publish on the Gametastic site and showcase to their peers.
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 a few different platforms that enable game design and development, including Scratch, Gamestar Mechanics and Game Maker. Many are developed through large corporations (like Microsoft's Kudo) or through Universities (like Carnegie Mellon's Alice). My challenge is to differentiate Gametastic from these options - and I believe I can do so by targeting girls 9-14 (an often forgotten demographic in the gaming market) and by creating a game in and of itself, where instead of simply providing the tools for design, players are playing a game through which the end product is the design of a game.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date, I have conducted focus groups with girls to gauge their interest in game design, and have seen their excitement and creativity flourish when asked to design and develop characters and stories. These sessions have increased the girls confidence and and their perception of their abilities, and have also shown they applications of STEM subjects that they were not aware of in terms of future careers and possibilities.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next 1-3 years, Gametastic will seek to improve girls test scores in STEM subjects, their confidence and participation in STEM subjects in school and their interest in STEM related careers. Additionally, Gametastic will arm girls with the confidence to pursue STEM related careers in the future.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The key to Gametastic's success is in the development of the product. I am working with a team of designers and developers, as well as a group of girls, to design and test a prototype that will best suit the needs of our target customer.

I've always been fascinated with the different products that target boys and girls as they are growing up - from science toys that cater mostly to boys, to princess dolls that are made for girls. After working for many years in the film business, I was curious about gaming, which seemed to be a more interactive and engaging platform for impact and change. I discovered that girls make up almost 50% of gamers, however, games are not developed with this audience in mind. I thought about ways to combine gaming with education, and the biggest challenge for girls is to stay involved and interested in STEM subjects past the age of nine. I set out to interview girls, parents and educators, and found that merging STEM education with gaming could be an effective way to develop a new generation of engaged and confident girls across the world.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The BC Women in Energy Network looks for ways to raise the profile of women in the energy sector in order to increase awareness around career opportunities for young women. Mainstream media does not portray women in engineering, science, technology or resource sectors. Young women therefore do not grow up with an awareness of the full range of career opportunities available to them. And the engineering, science and tech (specifically energy) sectors remain male dominated, often with corporate cultures that women do not find appealing. The energy sector is diverse and far-reaching,and has a strong impact in the remoter regions of BC. Through the use of technology and social media, information and opportunities can be shared faster and easier.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The video project, featuring profiles of women in the energy sector, will increase the BC WEN's ability to reach a wider audience and target young women. The BC WEN is proposing to produce a series of short profile videos that feature members of the organisation. Interesting women doing fascinating work across the province and across the industry. The videos provide information and inspiration and the use of social media allows for discussions and sharing ideas and opportunities BC WEN videos will be profiled by setting up a dedicated Vimeo channel.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The videos are a part of the activities of the BC Women in Energy Network. The Network's goal is to increase the role that women play in the BC energy sector and to primarily support women in achieving their own defined level of success. We want women to feel that they are achieving their own professional goals, being valued in the workplace and balancing their person and work life. Part of this becomes building a community of people and support where individuals can share information, learn of opportunities, and create change. Young women will have an opportunity to see this, to see women making a difference and feel that they can achieve the same success and be a part of the industry and community.

There are a number of women's networks that focus on leadership development and business connections. However none of these are specific to the energy industry. We are actively working with these other organisations to find ways to collaborate, but our success relies on financial support and membership. We therefore need to clearly differentiate ourselves and build a case for members and financial sponsorship.
It is important for young women to see a broad range of career options and opportunities, and ways that they can make a difference. Profiling women in the energy sector ensures that the opportunities young women see aren't narrowly focused.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The BC Women in Energy Network has been hosting events for approximately one year. In that time we have held at least one event each month, with a number of site tours at energy generation facilities, speaker luncheons with women in prominent leadership positions, receptions, and informal networking opportunities at community events.
Our aim is to increase the awareness of the energy sector in BC and the impact it has on all our lives, and most importantly the important role that women play in that industry. By profiling women we can create better awareness around opportunities for young women. By creating opportunities for women to network, sharing information and support each other, we can aid in seeing more women in leadership positions.
Our events see an average of 25 people per month, while social media, email newsletters and the website are used as tools for communications and networking.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We aim to produced videos that can then be released once a month. As long as we are able to financially support the production of videos we will continue with this schedule. We will find ways to increase the community of discussions around the women profiled, and increase the breadth of women in terms of geographical area in BC and sector area.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Being able to reach our audience effectively. We don't necessarily need a large quantity of viewers for the videos, but we need the quality. We need to be able to get the right people to watch them. In this case, we want young women in the late stages of high school and early stages of any post-secondary education. We may need to work directly with the academic advisory offices in order to effectively reach our target audience.

The founder and Executive Director of the BC Women in Energy Network participated in a conference that focused on women working in the BC natural resource sector. She had been working in the energy sector for a couple years and had experienced what is was like to be one of the only women in the room, and often the only young woman. The women in resources event opened her eyes to what can be achieved when a room of only women come together. She realised the potential for having a women in energy network and gradually developed plans for what it would look like and what it could achieve. From the early stages the concept for the Network went beyond just providing networking opportunities for women already working in the industry, she realised that we must also educate young women on what opportunities are out there. And primarily start to shift how young women think about themselves, which stems from the very narrowly focused profile provided by popular media.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Sexual harassment in Egypt has reached a crisis level. In 2008, 83% of Egyptian women surveyed were sexually harassed, 50% daily. 72.5% were veiled, and only 2.4% sought help from police. 62.4% of men surveyed admitted harassing women, and 61.4% of witnesses to harassment ignored it, with only 0.1% saying they tried to help (ECWR)
Not long ago, Egyptians were proud of the safety and dignity of our streets. Bystanders used to even chase harassers and shave their heads as a mark of shame, and harassment was rare. Yet today, no social consequences for harassers exist, and harassers are most often excused or ignored and victims are blamed instead. New laws have been passed but yield no change since individual police do not consider the issue important and are often perpetrators themselves.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In 2009, I heard about Ushahidi and Frontline SMS, which makes it possible for anyone to send reports of harassment by SMS or online, which then get mapped online anonymously. Since 110 of every 100 Egyptians own mobiles, and 1/2 are women, the potential was unprecedented. The NGOs were interested only in advocacy, so as 4 co-founders we developed HarassMap using online technology to support a huge offline community mobilization effort and public campaign.
Reports: Victims tell us what happened online or by SMS, where and help document the problem
Victim services: Contacts for offline lawyers, counseling, self defense sent by autoresponse
Mapping Reports: Our online map communicates the true extent of the problem and breaks stereotypes
Community Outreach: Our volunteers go out each month in their own neighborhoods all over Egypt with printouts of the map to ask shop owners, police and others in the street to stand up to harassers and create protected “Safe Areas” in shops
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
We change the social acceptability of harassment that lets harassers harass and keeps victims silent by combining online and offline tools. HarassMap is the first to use Ushahidi to combine online/offline longterm.
1. Reporting: A victim or witness documents the violation by mobile or online. Ex: "Walking on Syria St in Mohadessin yesterday around 6pm and there were 2 boys, around 10 to 12 years old. They were kids so we didnt expect anything. When close to us one of them took his penis out and rushed towards us. Thanks for this initiative. We really hope it will spark the change"
2. Referral: We autorespond to each with info on getting free help from women's NGOs (police reports, lawyers, counseling, selfdefense)
3. Each report is mapped helping us fight inaccurate, widespread concepts about harassment (it only happens in cities or in poor areas or in rich areas or to girls in miniskirts, etc.)
4. Community Outreach teams, led by trained Community Captains, use the map to help mobilize bystanders in their own neighborhoods (people with presence in the streets, police, shops, etc.) to break the silence, reestablish social consequences and revive our tradition of guarding our neighborhoods from harassment by telling harassers to stop. This should never happen again: "Man on motorbike drove up behind me and grabbed me from behind. I shouted at him immediately and he casually drove away. There were about 10 people in the street when it happened, no one did anything about it or even had any reaction. This was right outside my apartment"
5. Public/media campaign
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 17 NGOs on the NGO Task Force on Sexual Harassment working on advocacy for a new sexual harassment law and others partnering with the UNWomen’s Safe Cities Initiative on sexual harassment advocacy (both of which HarassMap is a member). The Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights also works on advocacy.
While these groups mainly focus on advocacy, HarassMap is the main group working with society.
Rather than challenging our growth, we partner with them and with other initiatives in order to increase the overall impact of the movement. Ex: We publicize the services offered by the NGO task force; we're members of all networks including Safe Cities; we mobilize our volunteers for and help organize joint activities (art exhibition, open mics, performance of our reports, "salasel").

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
PARTICIPATION: Since Dec '10, HarassMap received over 800 reports and over 500 men and women volunteered from all over Egypt - rural, urban, rich, poor. Most mobilize people in their own area to change the environment that tolerates harassers. About 8 of 10 people they approach agree to intervene with harassers and make "Safe Areas" in their shop/area that serve as shelters from harassment. Others give pro-bono help in their field or come to us to work together on creative ideas.
Some people who send reports also use our referral to free legal aid, psychological counseling, how to make a police report, self defense classes, etc (in partnership with the NGO task force) that we send by autoresponse.
AWARENESS: We receive over 20,000 pageviews per month. Our Facebook page has over 5000 fans, many of whom volunteer. Media coverage of HarassMap is high, reaching millions, and our events are well attended.
SCALE: We're coaching activists in 15 foreign countries adopting our model.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We will:
-Expand the number of strong community outreach teams by meeting outstanding demands for training

-Collect stories and testimonials from bystanders who intervened and publish them as role models
-Expand our public campaign drastically
-Publish a research project on crowdsourcing's validity and usefulness in sensitive topics
-Design an info packet on work harassment
-Evaluate our impact formally
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Our biggest barrier has been time and manpower. We love being volunteers and we love self-funding our work. But not having an office or staff seriously inhibits our capacity. We will start a research grant soon that will help with this.
The security/political situation since the revolution has made scheduling anything that requires volunteers to attend (community outreach days, volunteers trainings/meetings, events, etc) extremely difficult. We often have to reschedule and struggle with attendance. This will be improved by having a staff person who can focus on volunteer management and developing closer relationships with volunteers.

Cairo has been my home since 2004. After experiencing and witnessing repeated harassment, getting no help from witnesses and hearing repeated excuses for harassers - I started Egypt's 1st program on sexual harassment. Later, in 2009, I heard about Ushahidi/Frontline SMS, which can receive anonymous reports and map them online - perfect for breaking the silence on a taboo issue! Since almost all Egyptians own mobile phones the potential for reaching people across all boundaries, cheaply, was huge.
The NGOs weren't interested in the idea, so I assembled 4 Co-Founders to develop HarassMap as an independent, self-funded group of volunteers aimed at changing social tolerance for harassers and reestablishing social consequences for them. The free online/mobile technology lets our voice reach across geographic/social/age barriers to help us organize a huge offline community mobilization effort in streets nationwide. After launch, ideas and effort from hundreds of volunteers flowed in.

Preventing, Documenting and Ending Systemic Violence Against Women in Guatemala Through ICT

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The systemic violence and murders against women and girls that go undocumented in Guatemala as well as the debilitating health effects and subsequent economic repercussions that ensue. Women in Guatemala are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, domestic violence and/or witnessing abuses due to its three-decade civil war and its deeply patriarchal culture. These victims do not report this violence due to fear, and therefore, silently suffer. Furthermore, economic co-dependency reinforces women to remain in violent relationships. Due to shame, self-deprecation, and lack of education, these women never obtain complete independence from their abuser. This abuse often leads to death.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution is to educate abused women through film, and to provide workshops and follow-up connections through a SMS text messaging service. Through the documentary, Justice for my Sister, and the workshops, victims of abuse initiate the process of personal growth and communal healing with other women in similarly violent relationships. Due to a high level of illiteracy in Guatemala, film is an excellent means to reach a mass audience. The subsequent text messaging service allows for communicating, gathering and sharing information, and organizing at a very basic literate level following the documentary screening. This text message service provides information as to the characteristics of an abusive situation, how to seek assistance, and how to aid other individuals in similar situations.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Our solution makes a difference because women who have viewed the documentary, and utilized the SMS text messaging services, ultimately sought help and left their violent situations.
We previously held screenings of the documentary, Justice for my Sister, and subsequently conducted workshops, co-hosted by non-profit organizations that had a sound rapport within the community. We then collected phone numbers at our community screenings, added them to our listserv, and continually sent blast text messages to all our viewers.
This allows us to continue providing advice, references and resources as reminders that the community is committed to protecting all women. The goal with the text-message based hotline is not only to encourage women to report violence, but also to provoke a sense of communal responsibility.
What happens to one woman sets the tone in the community and fosters a sense of empowerment. Our main resource has been the Oficina Municipal de la Mujer, or the Municipal Women’s Office. We direct our audience members to them if they are located nearby. We have also held meetings and trainings with the police, public prosecutors, and human rights attorneys so that they are aware of our system.
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 include women's rights groups, political coalitions, and shelters in Guatemala as well as other agencies (UN Women, Country Embassies) that support and encourage women's rights. As the first organization to offer a text messaging hotline in Latin America, we are able to provide accessible references and offer vastly needed tools and services that advocate on a survivor’s behalf. However, a major challenge to our endeavors is obtaining the limited resources that are available to fund our projects. Consequently, we find ourselves competing for the same revenue as our peers and partners.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We currently have 500 subscribers on our Text Messaging listserv. We have received two reports of attempted murder by a husband to his wife. Several other inquiries are requesting information on where to go to report sexual violence and how to leave an abusive relationship. We generally send one or two messages per month. The response to our blast texting is extremely positive, and subscribers respond with the local colloquial phrase, “a huevo!”
Furthermore, and most importantly, we have engendered trust within the community by having local prosecutors and police attend our screenings and workshops. Their presence within a welcoming environment is crucial in a climate in which the general public distrusts authorities and thus results in yet another obstacle to reporting violence.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Our projected impact over the next three years is to empower women to take control of their lives as well as to educate the population and communally endeavor to end gender-based violence. We hope to see implementation of new laws and less impunity to these iniquitous crimes from our educational trainings. Furthermore, we are anticipating that our project will create a template for other organizations; particularly organizations that utilize popular educational and alternative means to reach out to undeserved populations. Our partner has already launched similar text message-based helplines and hotlines in Ghana, Haiti and several Asian countries.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
One potential barrier is funding operators for our text messaging service and providing them with a safe location to operate. Due to the fact that most violence against women occurs at nighttime, most operators work through the night; therefore, commuting to and from a central office can be very dangerous. To overcome this obstacle, we hope to secure a centralized office in Guatemala as well as provide security guards and transportation to safeguard our operators leaving work. In order to obtain funding, we will continue to apply for grants and appropriate this important expense in future budgets.

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.
This project began as a documentary film, Justice for my Sister, which witnessed the struggle of a Guatemalan woman seeking accountability for her sister's killer. Kimberly Bautista and her film crew followed the story throughout the entire process, witnessing and experiencing a continued number of setbacks and disappointments. This case resulted in one of the very few convictions in this past decade largely due to the main character’s determination and courage. During production of the film, Kimberly received continuous death threats and warnings about the content of her work. Sadly, a few months into filming, she was subject to a home invasion, raped, and robbed of all her camera equipment. Afterwards, she realized that the documentary was a fragment of a larger inclusive epidemic. She immediately developed Justice for my Sister Collective to expose, and ultimately work to end, the impunity of systemic gender-based violence that is afflicted on the women of Guatemala.

Survivors Connect is one of Justice for my Sister Collective’s closest partner. Survivors Connect uses information and communication technology (ICTs) to empower survivors and grassroots movements against the trauma of slavery, trafficking and violence. We also have partnerships with East Los Angeles Women’s Center (ELAWC) that have helped screen our film as well as the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. Lastly, we have worked closely with the Oficina Municipal de Mujer in Guatemala to obtain resources.
Por favor, pon en claro las necesidades u ofertas que hayas mencionado anteriormente y/o sugiere categorías de apoyo que no están especificadas en la lista
We are in need of pro-bono counsel in order to assist with the logistics and legality of procuring offices in Guatemala. We will also need resources to hire and train individuals to work as operators for our initiative. Lastly, we are hoping to collaborate with other human rights organizations and extend our campaign to more remote areas of Guatemala.
