Here's a story about how we can learn empathy from the little ones in our lives:
A baby can melt our hearts and put a smile on our face in an instant. With just a bit more time, that baby can teach us one of the most important and complex things we ever learn: emotional literacy.
Normally, explaining complicated concepts requires the skill and experience of a trained teacher. But it’s precisely a baby’s inability to explain that makes them the perfect ones to teach empathy. And that’s exactly what the babies involved in The Roots of Empathy (ROE) program do when they make their monthly visits to some of Canada’s grade schools.

This Entry is about (Issues)
Lancement important
1. Create creative person who can invented their own "path" based on their knowledge and life value.
2. Change the young people perspective about their own culture and tradition.As something valuable in life.
Problème
-Many young people cant continue their study not only because bad economic situation, but also because lack of motivation too pursue education.
-Low quality education in West Sumatera which create unmotivated and creative student
-The cultural value and tradition started to vanish among young people
- Lack of skill & entrepreneur spirit among young people, increase number of unskilled job seeker.
Solution
The solution that we offer here are, we will create activity that combine all those need, education, life value and skill based on our culture. All this skill will be develop based on the youngsters interest.
Like we will teach youngster to cook, for who likes to cook. But all the food will be cooked will be traditional food, with traditional way. And during the those cooking time we will give them introduction about the history of the food and how the used this food in the old time.
We also will teach them traditional performance such as singing and dancing, if they have interest in art.
All those skilled we will completed by giving them, simple and basic management lesson to empower their skilled to increase their economic situation
Exemple
The form of this festival mostly will held in a competition format. First we will show them how to do it, next they have to do it by them self in certain among of time.
Like our reading event, we targeted to do it in 4 orphanage and after finish with all orphanage, we finalized those event with reading competition for all participants. And after we show them how to develop this folklore knowledge into more wider area, to our traditional theater activity. And then they can build a small theater group.
Its work the same to traditional cooking class, and other class that we planned to open soon.
Impact social
Like our reading event : impacted 200 teenager in 4 orphanage. As a final result we hope, from that orphanage we can created 1 theater group (contain of 20 kids) that can be hired for festival or art event.
We hope this number keep growing as we wider our activity, to cooking and other traditional skill.
In the future, the number of beneficiaries will be unlimited. Depend how much we can provide the resources and how hard we working on it. We will openly working with other culture also, and allow our work and pattern to be replicated by others in their own area.
Marché
Our targeted is low income young people from West Sumatera.
But so far, in West Sumatera area we have not yet found the same program has been done by others.
Plan de viabilité
So far we still using our own resources to financing or activity. but in the future we planned for sustainability by commercialized some of our activity. Beside give free lesson for low income young people, ( like what we did now) we will open commercial course for regular young people. All income that we get from this activity is using to support all activity for our regular activity. We hope we will open this course in the next 6 month.
Histoire de votre fondation
We decided to established the foundation was all because our concern to our cultural lost, that effected by our own people. Its happen when we have small accident, where my mom have an accident. She bumped to young girl, and then when she say sorry, the girl really upset and react inappropriately to my mother. No more respect to elderly among young people, like we used to have and teach in our culture.
Many tradition has been vanished from young people life, in the name of modernization. And one of the most important thing that start to vanished from young people in West Sumatera are, traditional value. And its give us an idea to build institution to preserve this cultural value and also bring along real answer to problem in our area.

While working on the clothing issue Anshu was intrigued on what women use in menses as he figured out acute shortage of clothing itself. Then he found about a woman who used a piece of cloth with rusted hook and died of tetanus.He dug it further and found that millions of women use sand,ash,rugs,rags,dry leaves,news paper as pad. He connected the dots and mobilized masses to open up this taboo health issue.

Not Just A Piece of Cloth
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Millions of women use sand, wood ash, old rags, newspapers & even plastic bags due to non-availability of sanitary pads in India. Shame & silence associated with the issue makes it the most taboo subject even among women. The irony is that even the biggest health/RCH projects don’t have a budget for sanitary pads. This is a nationwide intervention, which starts with providing a physical product but stresses more on changing practices, behavior change, education & replication in the long term. The clean cloth pad is developed out of old cloth collected from urban masses. Its made with highly indigenous processes while we also teach the user women to make it on their own.
We name this issue as ‘TRIPPLE A’ - awareness, accessibility and affordability and we are developing it not as a product but as a solution which is taking care of these 3.
We use old cloth lying useless in the cities as a resource to address this important yet taboo basic need of the village & slum women. We use this pad as a tool to generate more awareness on the related health and hygiene issues. In the cities for the first time we are initiating discussion on this issue by directly involving the urban women, drawing on their instinctive empathy. The use of cloth; a material most village women are comfortable and familiar with, coupled with the reuse possibilities makes it a viable option. This is a highly replicable, cheap and easy to do initiative which brings an absolutely environment friendly product, a not so common thing in the sanitary pad world.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Sanitary pads that are practical, affordable and environment friendly are still on an experimental level in most parts of the country. The commercial sector has not been able to provide an affordable option the rural masses, village India use every possible rugs and rags. A few NGOs, women’s groups and individuals have taken this as an add on activity limited to the communities they are already working with.
Unlike many other one time, charitable or sporadic effort this is a comprehensive solution which involves masses at every level right from awareness , material collection to usage. It is neither an education program nor just gives a product, it is a package where an ‘easy to do solution’ becomes a tool to open up the subject and initiate a dialogue in the sector and communities.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
20% of cloth we get is non wearable and the cotton out of it is converted into pads which ensures regular raw material. Pack of 5 pads reach women with information on how to use- reuse,washing & drying practices, importance of sunlight & hygiene issues. We are also developing exhibitions for partners to build an aware eco system. Goonj works in 21states of India through its network of over 250 partners to reach wider. Other aspect is initiating discussion & debate on taboo subject in cities. We are spreading awareness among people from different strata thereby evoking empathy about and making sure that it takes a shape of mass movement on the issue. In villages we aim for local level replication so women don’t rely solely on Goonj.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
It has been a taken for granted issue with hardly any documentation of problem and its magnitude. The present model and product is evolved after a rigorous work in the field across India and also after our research on issues in other countries. This is one work where lab people are first users, unlike any other initiative as the women who make it- use it first and talk to communities to update themselves and upgrade the work. We learn from users to change. There are different models as per the local social & financial situations. We create local leaders to spread awareness in local language and context instead of a typical top down approach. This approach keeps us going in different socio- economic scenario and pressures as the ownership is local.

Given poor economic status and with lack of awareness, sanitary pad is last thing on mind of rural women and they use all kinds of things leading to a series of diseases to most common hysterectomy We connected it with another non issue i.e. clothing and turned an old piece of cloth into a powerful tool to raise awareness on the issue and use it as a viable, economic product also. What makes idea of cloth pads successful is familiarity to women. Mass scale replication is possible on a local level itself. We remove risk elements, do value addition in terms of cleanliness& awareness and this biodegradable pad becomes a good option and saves a lot of issue on disposal. NJPC turns material lying idle in urban homes to a very useful product and tool for rural people.

A préciser
by turning wastage of one part of the society into resource for other part of the society
S'il vous plaît décrivez votre solution de façon plus détaillée
We work on a theory- Triple A i.e. Awareness, affordability and Access. The old waste cloth as raw material ensures regular supply of material helps reducing the pressures on land fill sites and makes it affordable. The engagement of urban masses for collection of old material opens up the taboo issue to larger audience and builds empathy among various groups. The open discussions in the villages and slum with ‘My Pad’ as a tool create massive awareness and as the initiative is based on the corrections on prevailing and traditional practices, a lot is not absolutely new to people and its easier to accept. In many cases it is solved at home by using the same piece of cloth but as a more aware and conscious woman !!
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
The base of model is old cloth, which people discard in plenty. As the process don’t involve heavy machines it can happen at smaller level at multiple places, It’s lucrative and viable to initiate for many. All stake holders contribute in some way.Urban people give cloth as raw material, user either pay in cash or labour by working under ‘Cloth for work’. In some cases women sponsor for women. Organisations, corporate working on health issues are buyers for us.
Vision is to make this an issue, something on discussions happen in public and not just in seminars and conferences. The idea is to build it up as a movement where citizens are involved in solution and not just government or some agencies as the scale of this not so opened issue so far is huge.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Rural women treat their needs as last priority thereby receiving less health care& education In scenario where they struggle for daily survival, NJPC brings awareness about fundamental issue, highlighting high-risk behavior that puts their health in jeopardy. Influencing health seeking behavior by giving empowerment to influence their own health. Exposure & interactions on taboo issue is key in highlighting possibilities available to them. Essence of NJPC is not just to provide clean pad or making women aware, but to address clothing holistically. Addressal of clothing help free meager resources for pressing needs like food and education. This reinforces Goonj’s mission of working on ‘ Micro looking – madro issues’ !!
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Adolescent Girls: Nutrition Foundation of India says that average age of menarche is around 13 yrs yet 50%of both urban &rural girls aged 12 yrs have no understanding of this process.Adolescent girls face problems like low literacy level,sexual vulnerability contributing to dismal health.
Young married women in reproductive/child bearing age: In India 1 in 6 girls begin child bearing between 13-19yrs. Maternal mortality accounts for 15% of all deaths of women.
Older women:Most studies on reproductive health & menses say older women in family are primary source of information about menses practices.This segment plays key role as knowledge leader.
The larger target is certainly the rural and tribal population.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
1.Sensitizing urban masses to bring attitudinal changes towards menses as taboo subject & show power of old clothing for women by initiating discussion through forums 2. Wide spread production of ‘MY Pad’ 3. Partners inform about community needs 4. meeting with partners highlighting need, solution& process. 5.Village meetings, organized with community women to talk about health risks & solution offered by My-Pad 6. Provide exhibition material with relevant information to partners to put up locally 7.Sends 1st dispatch to women & general clothing for cloth for work activity for village community 8. Providing pads with awareness meeting 9.Training to local women on how to make pads 10.other organizations buy pads for giving in their areas
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
1.sensiting urban masses -discussions through lectures, addressing forums etc. 2.collection of material- Generating material through awareness cum collection camps. Every camp leads to new contacts & volunteers. We organize monthly sponsorship campaigns, touch base with hospitals & hotels for large quantities of old cloth.3.Process- Collected material is sorted, packed at GOONJ’s processing center & sent to our partner groups according to requirements of their target communities. 4.Education- Partners provided them relevant information like illustrative posters 5.Replication on local level; Over a period of time share our learnings with them & help them replicate small scale.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
So far there are sporadic and local solutions. There is still a gap in the segment to take it on a national or larger level. Also we don’t have experiments where people talk about product and education both on a large scale. Since this issue almost untouched and the scale of the problem is huge, we don’t see people as competitor and there is enough space for everybody. We need more people and experiments to tap the entire market.
The bad part is just some people and organizations who are taking it just as a fashionable subject without much ground work as this is still the initial phase and it needs solid pillars to create a mass awareness and understanding of the issue.
Goonj focuses more on idea spread with a practical viable and working product and process demo.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
1.Communicating a new idea to urban & rural audiences is a slow process;unhealthy practices,huge taboo,mindsets of partner groups call for long term behavioral change communication.2.Planning Risk in generating material from masses;we are approaching different channels for committed supplies 3.tackling & changing the attitude of urban masses of acting as if they are doing greatest deed in giving away their discard. Sustained communication & awareness building on giving with dignity has helped 4.Risk is not using full potential of the idea; opening up idea and processes for wider audience for others to adopt and spread the work with our minimal expense.

Goonj works through large citizen base, growth owed to 1000s of volunteers who helped in idea spread & financially.e.g: collecting old newspapers from people & raising funds through its sale,getting one side used paper from corporates for making school notebooks & writing pads for sale,asking urban women to give us one meter cloth every month when they have menses for their rural counterparts, one rupee one cloth; motivating people to give us one rupee with each cloth they give to cover cost of reaching it to the beneficiary.
Apart from individual contributions and sponsorships there are co branded campaigns where we charge the corporates.
There is a large range of beautiful products from bags to conference kits to sanitary pads we sell and generate money .
The operations are based on usage of second hand material right from packing bags to our furniture which reduces the cost drastically.
As a basic thought the work is not dependent on agencies and government and we have worked on multiple sources to sustain it and to grow.
We are also tying up with the logistics companies to further reduce the costs and targeting organizations working on health as our major buyers..

Goonj raises resources through multiple sources to reduce its dependence on one source. We take up multiple strategies on covering costs of pad work. We sell recycled products, collect newspapers from households, for scrap sale.Cross subsidizing rural products by sale of products in urban markets ensures sustenance. Since all work around masses; we involve masses in generating resources. We are requesting people who give their material, to also give atleast Rs 100 each time they give material.We have sponsorship campaign going on called 60 dignified days asking urban masses to ensure year’s supply of pads, undergarments and awareness work for rural women and then the bulk will come from buyers like corporates and organizations who work on health issues

Stratégies de philanthropie que vous utilisez
Stratégie diversifiée .
Expliquez votre démarche philanthropique plus en détail
GOONJ believes that people living with all conveniences &facilities in cities have responsibility towards their village counterparts who lack resources & opportunities. Given growing consumptive nature of metros & shrinking spaces, there is need to find channelising things we don’t need. Thus GOONJ wants to move giving of one’s discard to move away from charity to contribution. We feel that village communities are very self respecting & resilient, thus by giving them anything as charity we hurt their dignity. We therefore believe that people in cities have to learn as to how to give with dignity, with sense of empathy rather than superiority .Development world needs to give value to rural wisdom & resources instead of treating them as helpless beneficiaries or recipients.
Développer vos sélections; expliquer comment vous allez maintenir le financement au cours des 1 à 3 prochaines années.
1. As more and more people are getting accustomed to the idea of giving some money with each material contribution, that is a big step towards self sustenance.
2. Given our national level co branded campaigns with big brands means reduction of our expenses on collecting material as our brand partner uses his own channel network to do the same.
3. As we tap into big suppliers of cloth like exporters, hotels etc. it reduces our expenses & efforts as well.
4. as we grow the overall scale of our work, we will be motivating partner groups to take up the major expenses like transportation etc , which they will be more inclicned to do having seen the impact locally.
5. Our emphasis in the coming years will be on moving the production of pads to rural settings involving the beneficiary women in some of the steps like sorting , washing etc ; it will not only reduce our costs but will also generate income for them, train them further, make it more available and cheaper for village communities.

Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
At least one in ten children has a developmental disability. Extrapolating from this India has 52 million children with a developmental disability. Ummeed at its Center provides transdisciplinary care for children with developmental disabilities through best practices developed in-house and recognised globally. Each year, Ummeed reaches out to over 1200 children through around 6100 visits through its Center.
The best practices developed by Ummeed also go into development of curricula of training programs which are targeted at building the capacities of community workers of other NGOs and building the capacities of NGOs working with children to address issues around Early Childhood Development and developmental disabilities. Each year, Ummeed serves an additional 25000 children and their families through these training programs imparted to other organisations.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Ummeed at its Center develops unique best practices which then form the basis of the curricula developed for the capacity building training programs.
In addition Ummeed develops training modules based on the needs of the organisation as assessed by Ummeed. The training modules are exhaustive in nature and comprise of both theory and practicals at the field level.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
Ummeed at its Center provides transdisciplinary care for children with developmental disabilities through best practices developed in-house and recognised globally.
Ummeed has a team of highly trained and skilled professionals providing care and expertise to Ummeed's activities.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Ummeed's greatest challenge currently is the immaturity of the market and understanding of the need of early childhood development among organisations working with children and organisations working in the area of disabilities. Ummeed is now developing a competent team to create the necessary environment and build the "market" to be able to scale up its reach in the field of early childhood development.
Ummeed has also developed short term training modules to meet the challenges of manpower stretched organisations who may not be in a position to spare their team for the comprehensive training programs.

Over 52 million children in India have a Developmental Disability or are at risk of acquiring a disability. With little or no awareness and facilities to address the issues around Early Childhood Development, these children and their families will have no recourse to any facility or knowledge on working with their special child or mitigate the incidences of developmental disabilities. Ummeed works at different levels to address this issue through its clinic while building the capacity of community workers and other organizations to address the issues in their communities through its training programs .

S'il vous plaît décrivez votre solution de façon plus détaillée
Almost 15% of the children in India have or at risk of a Developmental Disability.It is a known fact that early detection and care especially during the age of 0-6 years helps a child attain his/her maximum potential. In India almost 65% of the population lives in the rural areas which would mean that around 35 million children who have or are at risk of a developmental disability, are from these areas and hail from low income families, with little or no access to information and resources on issues around Early childhood Development. Ummeed through its training programs builds the capacity of organizations working in these under-served communities to work in prevention & mitigation for children and families at risk while building resources for the care of children with a disability.

We won Best Song at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, received a fantastic review from Billboard Discoveries, and were chosen to be in the Grammy and Oscar gifts to the nominees. The University of BC Education Department helped us develop lessons and activities for our series of books (K to Grade 3.) We test marketed The Magic of Think™ with teachers, homeschooling mothers, and grandparents. The testimonials have been phenomenal. The children in both public and private schools have been captivated by the stories performed “in character.” The children love the music and listen to it day and night. We have also been receiving enthusiastic reviews from parents with Special Needs and Gifted children. Children open up on issues that have not been discussed before. Eg. being bullied.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Receiving support from American Express would greatly assist us in achieving our goal of reaching and helping every child in the world. Rich or poor, regardless of color or nationality. Long term, stronger children become stronger adults, who will be more equipped to make the world a better place.

We are at a crisis point in education today. Many teachers and children are feeling disconnected, stressed out and unmotivated. The pressures brought on by the new mandated instructional practices from both Federal and State Departments of Education are felt by all members of the school community. There is a decrease in pro-social skills and an increase in anti-social behaviors. Most answers to this problem focus on programming. My approach focuses on building a new consciousness within the school community.

The School of Belonging Learning Institute (SBLI), has evolved over the past 30 years into a unique and innovative culture building process. Institute creator David A. Levine has created authentic learning experiences which facilitate self-reflection and behavior change through his music, cutting edge books, meaningful dialogue, applied skills, and classroom demonstrations. The SBLI process has consistently created systemic transformational learning which has proven to be life changing for many teachers, leaders, children and parents. David wants SBLI to be a robust process that will make significant social change in our schools and communities. In the past year, he has established relationships with several foundations who are devoted to social and emotional learning and he is currently negotiating with school districts from a variety of socio-economic realms. As creator of SBLI, David needs help in branding his vision and marketing his work in such a way that schools from all over the world, who are in need of creating caring and empathic learning communities, will want to implement The School of Belonging Learning Institute for their teachers and students .

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
I would like support in my organization overall. I have been working on my own since 1992. After meeting several colleagues through Ashoka, I realized that I needed to scale up my work to make a greater difference in the world. Creativity, passion and belief do not always equal a sound business plan and that is what I need assistance with. In the past few weeks, I have been approached by three different school districts looking to establish a long-range working relationship with The SBLI process, and I now see the need to refine my focus on marketing, capacity building. and service delivery.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I have always worked on my own, often thriving with minimal marketing or a strategic plan. Whenever I thought of scaling up, I wasn't sure how to do it as my work was so uniquely connected to my personality and expression. Last October while speaking with the Novo Foundation about social and emotional learning, I was told me how much in alignment they were with me but that I needed to move my work from being "boutiquey" to being "robust". This wasn't exactly a business consultation but it did help change my thinking in terms of what was needed to scale up The School of Belonging process.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Since 1992, David A. Levine has developed and implemented School of Belonging concepts in app. 400 schools, impacting 10,000 teachers and 52,000 youth. He has worked with students, teachers, principals, parents and central administrators, running workshops and teaching classes on building classroom communities, creating emotionally safe schools, ,and working effectively in teams. The greatest successes have been demonstrated by teachers taking David's ideas, modifying them to match their own teaching styles and the unique needs of their students, and integrating School of Belonging practices into their classrooms. David's work has influenced teachers, leaders and policy makers across the United States, in Guam, New Zealand, India, and Canada. Many pre-service programs use David's books.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The School of Belonging Learning Institute will become a known entity in the United States and beyond, establishing a further reaching voice, influence and impact in creating schools that truly meet the social and emotional learning needs of their students. The changes that will come about from infusing School of Belonging principles into a school's cultural practices, will have a profound effect on the future well-being and life success of our most critical sustainable resource: our children. Over the next three years, in addition to the US, SBLI will have a presence in New Zealand, England, Canada and Australia, helping to make schools places where children learn the life skills of empathy, compassion, problem solving, collaboration, self-reflection, and leadership.

(KOW is currently in the final stages of being professionally translated into Spanish.) We will achieve recognition and respect through: expansion of our materials into many more schools, speaking engagements, more active social media, creating mutually supportive professional alliances, and publication of a book (in the works) that describes the rational, research and results behind the design and unique approach of KIDS' OWN WISDOM.
2. Within a year: develop, classroom test and start selling the next 2-4 levels of KIDS' OWN WISDOM. (Our goal is to produce at least 10 more levels of KIDS' OWN WISDOM, serving all children, 4-15 years of age.)
3. To enlist adequate numbers of qualified sales representatives / trainers (preferably former or current teachers).

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Our most pressing specific project need is to develop a stand-out presence in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) market with a powerfully compelling/coherent message that positions KIDS' OWN WISDOM (KOW) as the uniquely valuable resource it has proven itself to be. Once KOW gains national recognition, advanced levels of the program can be produced and distributed.
In addition to the logo we recently acquired, the following would help to create the stand-out presence KOW deserves: √ Consistent brand messaging that reflects KOW's vision and values, as well as its short and long-range benefits √ A more effective web site, capable of securely accepting credit cards √ Search engine optimization
√ Podcasting √ Video series √ Social media management √ Database integration
1.
Shared values as the basis of solid trust.
2.
Mutual respect for different, complementary strengths, making it possible to achieve far more than we could separately.
3.
Open, honest communication that prioritizes Big Picture goal of bringing KOW to maximum number of schools, worldwide.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Our organization, overall, is in need of solid business savvy in the following areas:
1.) Marketing the cumulative, multi-dimensional benefits derived from regular use of KIDS' OWN WISDOM.
2.) Accounting and database integration.
3.) Forging professional alliances, creating speaking engagements, interviews, etc.
... I'm completely open to guidance about what other activities and achievements are necessary to promote progress in this area.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I have given some attention to the above area, but never in a consistent way, because I had no confidence in how to achieve significant results. I've never formally worked with outside consultants, but the time is now for professional business guidance.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
With accurate and consistent implementation of KIDS' OWN WISDOM, teachers report: (1) More cooperation between students during indoor and outdoor activities = reduced bullying, reduced cheating, reduced pushing. (2) Even the most shy students participate in, and contribute to, KOW discussions - a crucial and important school readiness/success skill. (3) Distinct carry-over influence, both short and long-term, at taking more personal responsibility for decisions and choices. (4) Reduced need for repetition of instructions and behavior modification. (5) Marked increase in children's awareness, empathy and sensitivity towards others.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Functioning within the guidelines of a legitimate and successful business model will enable us to more quickly achieve one of our major goals: to donate KIDS' OWN WISDOM resources to schools, after school programs, institutions, etc, that cannot afford to purchase them.
We fully expect to be adopted in developing nations, as well as developed nations, and we project powerful alliance building with organizations that demonstrate similar values and results. Examples of 3 organizations we'd love to coordinate efforts with: Ashesi University Foundation, in Ghana (http://www.ashesi.org/), Shanti Children's Foundation, in Nepal (http://www.shantichildrensfoundation.org), and The Communiversity of South Africa (http://www.thecommuniversityofsouthafrica.com/).

WINGS is working to solve poor long-term outcomes of low-income students with our innovative social and emotional education program. WINGS teaches kids how to behave well, make good decisions, and build healthy relationships by delivering a social and emotional learning curriculum into a fresh and fun after school program. We serve at-risk, low-income kids 3-hours per day, 5-days per week, for the entire school year – more than 500 hours annually.
Research shows social and emotional education delivered in the after school setting increases academic achievement, school attendance, and student behavior. Evaluations of our program show WINGS kids make better grades, score higher on standardizes tests, attend school more often, and have better behavior than non-WINGS students.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) Develop a long-term strategic plan – we are working to identify strategic opportunities for the long-term growth and sustainability of WINGS.
2) Continue with our evaluation efforts – we will be entering the second year of a randomized control trial study on our program effectiveness, the gold standard in program evaluation.
3) Increase the number of students we serve – we are currently in four Charleston, South Carolina schools and two Atlanta, Georgia schools. We are working to increase enrollment in our current schools by more than 25% and add a new school in rural South Carolina.

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 need to develop and refine our long-term strategic plan through opportunity analysis in order to maximize our impact and to achieve systemic change. Currently we are in an expansion phase, adding new programs each year. We are also in the midst of a randomized control trial study, which we anticipate will definitively document the positive outcomes of WINGS. When we receive our positive evaluation results we need to be prepared for widespread demand.
Our current direct service model is very good at achieving impact, but it is labor intensive and we are only working with a handful of schools. If we were to double our number of schools each year, it would take 14 years for us to reach the nearly 100,000 public elementary schools in the US. Given our current model, that type of growth is unrealistic. In order to achieve real systemic change we need to evaluate the best delivery mechanism of WINGS. Now is the time for us to evaluate the overall marketplace and to identify opportunities where we can achieve the greatest impact, whether it is through our direct service model or another avenue.
1.
Partners who challenge us in our conventional thinking.

The only service we currently provide is our direct service after school program, so support will be focused on our overall organization. As a result of the consulting support it may be determined we should pursue an alternative service delivery option, such as a training and curriculum service in order to increase our impact. We are anxious to for the insight the consultants will provide as we go through this evaluation process.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
In 2010-11 we partnered with UVA researchers for a preliminary outcome study. The results found executive function skills improved by 21 percentile points and applied problem solving skills improved by 8 percentile points. Increases in these areas are predictors for positive long-term outcomes: improved high school graduation rates, higher income potential, and reduced rates of criminal behavior.
Due to these results, the researchers wrote and received a $2.8 million grant from the US Department of Education for a randomized control trial study on WINGS, the gold standard of program evaluation. Previous evaluations by Yale University demonstrated WINGS kids attained higher math and reading scores and better grades and school attendance than non-WINGS kids.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We are currently serving 650 kids each day in six low-income elementary schools, and we anticipate expanding our services to more than 900 kids next year. While this is a significant year over year growth rate, we are still falling short of achieving systemic change – we are only hitting a small percentage of all at-risk students. By working with the professionals with American Express we hope to identify a way for us to greatly increase our scale. We realize we will not be able to serve all students in the next year, but we believe this will help us lay the framework for widespread scaling and systemic change.

"Think on your feet. Say no to tobacco".
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
William McGuire a social psychologist published in 1968 studies showing it is surprisingly easy to train people to resist attacks (on their beliefs) by giving practice at resisting arguments to defend themselves with. Our model originates from the idea teens become smokers because of the power of peer pressure but if we teach children to resist pressure from their peers who believe that smoking is "cool" we are be able to reduce chances that these children become smokers in a later stage.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
By comparison with old-fashioned tobacco interventions such as the traditional approach on health issues (i.e don't smoke because it's bad for your health), our arguments build children confidence and help them make decisions on their own. The overall objective is to empower pupils with skills to speak out on cigarette issues and empower them to overcome pitfalls of tobacco. To do so we use new and innovative approaches of drama techiniques, theatre and movement and also an "exclusive" membership to our "Tobacco Young Fighters Club".
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
Italian state schools are going through a rough time. They lack of basic items (soap, toilet paper, tissues are provided by families). Our project is totally free of charge. As compared to other charity projects asking for economic support, we already have a succesful entry key.
We have a team of teachers and psycologists that pay visit to more than 600 schools every year in the area of Milan.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Through our team of teachers, psycologists, doctors and counsellors we receive constant first hand feedback, that is:
-written assessment from school teachers for purposes of grading and reporting
-letters and emails from pupils
-phonecalls from parents (infopoint)
-assessment from our drama and theatre partner on actual performance in class (for the improvement of our teaching method)

We train our tutors to educate and inform through drama-based interventions that are both amusing and interesting for children.
Tutors are not only trained but also periodically supervised during their work. We ask children and teachers to give us ideas and feedback on all our interventions.
Children are invited to take part in the Young Tobacco Fighters Club to prevent tobacco use among peers, take a stand against the exploitation by the tobacco industry and encourage positive behavior in all aspects of life including the environment (the ecological destructive impacts of tobacco on the environment and ecosystem are serious cause for concern. A smoke free generation means an eco friendly generation! )
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
We believe that to engage young children in their personal health and well-being is to prevent illness and prolong life in terms of quality of life years.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Be smart. Think head first.
We challenge school children to develop skills and gain critical awareness so that they are empowered themselves with a solution.
As anyone can reduce the possibility of dying for cancer by adopting simple behaviours and rules such as not smoking.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Mainly state primary schools and children aged 10-11 yrs.
Also teachers and parents (family)
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
We write to schools, teachers, headteachers and propose our free of charge classes.
Our written communication is followed by a phone call.
We also use a Sponsor get Sponsor plan to work through a network of valuable teachers and increase our opportunities.
Also we have a strong brand awareness in schools being in the market for over 20 yrs with free of charge activities.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
Our trained tutors deliver drama and theatre based activity right in primary schools. Our workshop lasts about an hour and engages children and teachers.
A welcome kit (stickers, brochcures, leaflets, a leaflet & letter to parents) is handout out to children. Children fill in a card indicating whether they would like to enter the Young Tobacco Fighter Club.
Young Tobacco Fighters can enter a competition. Around 500 winners from the Club are invited to the Award ceremony in May 31st to show their work (video, drawings, poems).
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
The local authority and a few other charities do similar activities but not all of them are free of charge like ours. The lack of funds is drastically reducing this kind of work.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
1.The rise in popularity of the newly developed electronic cigarette is a clear concern for us (cigarette industry markets on teens, also studies being done on electronic cigarettes are few and far between).
2.We don't have a dedicated website on this project.
3.We distribute welcome kits to all children. 1kit=1child
As each welcome kit weights about 200 gr, we need like to change this material in favour of new media/web material both for environmental and practical reasons (welcome kits are heavy tocarried around).
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Thanks to our 20 yrs experience we manage to cover around 65% of all schools in the Milan area. In the next 18 months we wish to hit between 85% and 90% of all schools.
To do this we need to increase our counselling network (we currently have 10 leaders), and work on our telemarketing activities and create ad hoc website

Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
The shift from sickness and cure to wellness and prevention is compulsory in a world where the management of long term medical conditions and other issues relating old age are of increasing concern.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
We want to increase by 25% our presence in schools.
Also we want to cut costs on printing materials by going on the internet. This should save us around 40% of costs which could be reinvested in further educations interventions at secondary school.
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
The increase in number of schools from 500 to 700, is to be reached in 1-3 years.
this should anable us to cover between 85- 90% of all Milanese schools.

Our charity has been working on tobacco school programmes for over 20 years. We have reached around 1.5 million people: teachers, kids and families.
The number of adults dropping smoke is now going down in Italy (in 1957 smokers rate was35,4% in 2010 it dropped to 21,7%).
The average ten-year survival rate for the disease has doubled over the past 30 years. Half the people diagnosed with cancer today will still be alive in five years’ time.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
We can't apply a method because children are on their last year at primary school and can not be contacted the following year. Also we have privacy restrictions (being under age). Yet, we would like to work on this and find a way to evaluate the social impact over the years.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
Yes, other cities could benefit from our programme.
Our charity has over 100 sections throughout Italy. At the momen, though, we can't extend our method because of the lack of budget.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
In three years time we will have nearly covered 85-90% of all primary schools in the Milan area and province (we now have 65-70%) reaching over 3.000 people (children and their families).

Our charity is gradually focusing on revenue-generating activities, both as a means of carrying out our mission and as a means of generating revenue to support it. Thanks to the growth of web-based strategies and global communications we work with commercial "partners" (corporate) to develop innovative income-generating strategies. One example are our Detection and Early Prevention Centres to deliver check-ups for the most common forms of cancer. Highly qualified cancer specialists and the most up-to-date cancer detection equipment are used. Our voluntary sector and particularly the member fee is a good source of income, as well as local authorities and foundations, investments and rents.

As Dr.Karanth's work with Autism got to be known,the number of families seeking her help spiraled. Returning to the country(after her Fulbright Professorship) she found 23 families waiting for her.There was no way she could help them single handed. Her model for intervention called for intensive , multidisciplinary inputs. A model for delivering her idea had to be worked out.Com DEALL was born!

Communication DEALL -India's indigenous model for Autism intervention
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Early intervention is documented to produce the best overall long term results for children with developmental disabilities in general and for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) in particular. In view of the total lack of such programs in the country along with the steeply increasing number of children diagnosed with ASD, the Communication DEALL (Com DEALL) program was initiated.The content of the program is greatly influenced by the intensive work carried out by the program developer with a gifted child over a period of a decade. The specifics of the model were developed to address the challenges of intervention in the Indian context- the child to trained therapist ratio, high costs of intervention, lack of facilities for sustained care, families often having to up root themselves in search of interventionists who are primarily available only in the cities and the burden of traveling with a special needs child from one end of the city to another in order to access services.
Communication DEALL (Developmental Eclectic Approach to Language Learning) intervention program targets the sensory perceptual, motor and communication issues in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) .The theoretical underpinnings of the Communication DEALL program is that ASD is caused by biological, specifically neurological disorder resulting in a range of sensory perceptual disorders and motor executive difficulties. The communication, social and cognitive deficits, are seen as a consequence of the sensory motor deficits rather than the core symptoms of the disorder.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Autistic behavioral challenges are seen as a consequence of the child's underlying sensory motor difficulties unlike the popular behavioristic approaches. The intervention is child centered identifying and addressing the range of sensory motor issues and developmental lags of each child,with additional focus on parent empowerment.The aim is to mainstream the child thereby reducing the demands on society for sustained care.Accountability is measured in the context of strict timelines which is unique to this model. Multidisciplinary inputs ensure a holistic perspective of the child.The cost of intervention is lowered by adopting a group strategy as against a one on one model that most interventions are based on, thus minimizing hard to obtain professional resources .
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
A multidisciplinary team that works together (not in different departments) with a group of children for 3 hours a day over an academic year ensures that the therapists are familiar with each child, the different therapeutic services for each child are complementary and the therapists and children bond over an extended period of time.
The program is well documented at every step. Documentation has ensured that the program can be replicated anywhere. A ten year retrospective study shows that 76.5%of the children are continuing in mainstream schools (Karanth, P & Chandhok,T 2013 In Press. Impact of Early Intervention on Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders as Measured by Inclusion and Retention in Mainstream Schools,Indian Journal of Pediatrics)
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Innovation marks the genesis of the program and forms its backbone too. A group intervention program was developed when its founder realized that children who did well in traditional one on one therapy often lacked the skills required to transition into regular mainstream schools with unfavorable teacher to student ratio and limited additional support. Three years after inception, expansion plans had to be paused in light of the lack of trained manpower. A trust was set up. The organization shifted focus to documentation, to ease replication .The program is now documented in 12 manuals and 5 CDs. Training programs at different levels have been initiated with university accreditation for training program obtained in order to meet the needs of different stakeholders.

S'il vous plaît décrire plus en détail: quel est le problème que vous essayez de résoudre dans le contexte spécifique de l'organisation?
While we have received many requests for training and setting up of new units, there are some (mainly NGOs) that lack funds for training and/ or infrastructure. In order to provide EI to all children across the country and elsewhere it is important that we set up units that are self sufficient with adequate trained manpower.To facilitate this process we need a permanent building with adequate facilities to cover the wide range of activities. In addition, we would like to build a committed group of researchers who with mentoring from senior researchers in grant writing and fund raising, will eventually develop more large scale projects and sustain themselves in future by raising independent funds.

S'il vous plaît décrivez votre solution de façon plus détaillée
Provision of accessible, affordable, high quality, intensive early intervention with a clear target of maximizing chances for every child of inclusion and retention in mainstream schools; spreading the reach of the program by increasing awareness for identification and early intervention, scaling up the model across the country and providing training at different levels for different stake holders both face to face and through the distant mode and eventually enabling easy and affordable access to clinical services and guidance through the internet.To build a data base in hitherto understudied populations with ASD in order to address their issues more specifically.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
The vision is to develop Communication DEALL program as a viable model, that with training can be replicated as and where needed, to make it available on a larger scale without our continuous involvement, in order to serve the requirements of an ever- increasing number of children with developmental language disorders including those with the Autism Spectrum Disorders, within their community. We have moved beyond providing purely clinical service to becoming a resource for others in terms of materials and training.We have produced a host of low cost indigenous material for use by trainers and families.Our goal now is to set up as many Com DEALL units as possible with as far a geographical reach as possible and address the needs of children beyond the EI program into school years.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Our USP is the opportunity we provide to every child in the program to join the mainstream.76.5% of our children who were followed up in a ten year retrospective study were continuing in mainstream schools (2-7) years post intervention with us. Mainstreaming the child reduces the demand for sustained care which is critical in resource strapped emerging markets.The multidisciplinary nature of inputs ensures that all the child's needs are met under a single roof.A major strength is the self sustaining nature of the model. Establishing more Com DEALL units and exploring alternate models of service delivery will ensure that families can avail services within their own communities . Continuous evaluation ensures that the requirements of evidence based practice are met.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Families of children with ASD, Government agencies ,NGOs,Clinics,Hospitals,Professionals and schools that cater to children with developmental disabilties are our customers.We are looking to reach out to people interested in setting up Com DEALL units. Our training programs are geared towards parents, graduate students and professionals in the field. The material department caters to the needs of our clinical population and the training program.Ultimately it is the children with communication disorders such as Autism Spectrum,Disorder,Specific Language Impairment and Developmental Verbal Dyspraxias .
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
i) Our website which is updated regularly,( ii)workshops and conferences, (iii)publication and distribution of public education posters and research publications (E.g. Karanth, Shaista and Srikanth.2010 Efficacy of Communication DEALL — An Indigenous Early Intervention Program for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Indian Journal of Pediatrics, Karanth,P and Archana S,2013 exploring Pre requisite learning skills in young children and their implications for understanding Autistic behavior.in Kar,,B,R(Ed),Cognition and Brain Development, APA, NY.) (iv)Outreach to other organizations. ( v) Families of children who have received intervention with us are by far our best advocates.

Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
Government organizations,NGOs, and other practitioners who provide early intervention within other models emerging largely from the west are our peers. The theoretical framework for our intervention program has been developed indigenously and lacks the face value of better established programs from elsewhere. Our peers and competitors could question the scientific validity of the program. We are trying to address this by conducting and encouraging others to conduct scientific studies of our model.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
The program was started as a response to the urgent need for services expressed by a group of parents .Over the last decade, it has grown extensively in diverse areas. The current infrastructure is totally inadequate and inappropriate to serve the needs of the organization as it is today and as it grows. For example, we function out of rented premises in a residential area and receive complaints about issues such as children crying,no parking space etc.Hence there is an urgent need to have a place that is tailor made to accommodate our clinical training and research needs in a suitable non residential area currently estimated at US$ 3 million. This has necessitated spreading our scant professional manpower to the additional target of fund raising for infrastructure.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Scaling up across the country and outside by setting up a very large number of Com DEALL units with as wide as spread as the current Montessori preschools. The number of units that are functional on the ground and their outcome in terms of numbers of children successfully mainstreamed will be the measure of our success.

Overseas teams have also visited us. These and several others have expressed interest in duplicating our setting up units.We are confident we can work through some country specific challenges such as local licenses and trained manpower
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
To emerge as a comprehensive resource provider for those interested in providing long term services for the overall well being of the child with developmental disabilities such as ASD, before and across the school year.We have accomplished he targets we set for ourselves in 2004, from being a purely clinical service with a narrow focus on EI to a multifaceted organization for children with ASD.

A follow up study of all the children enrolled in the Com DEALL program at Bangalore from 2000-2009 was undertaken. Results of the study show that 76.5%of the children who completed the program were continuing in mainstream schools.
We have set up nine units of ComDEALL in six Indian cities.There is a demand for more from within the countries and neighboring countries as well.
Our Post graduate Diploma course has got University Accreditation and recognition from the Rehabilitation Council of India . 25 trained interventionists will be passing out each year starting from 2014. A continuous effort is made to update the program and improve the result.Over 50 awareness programs have been conducted to enhance early identification leading to early intervention,and to the development of a less intensive Pre DEALL program for children below the age of three years,since the clinical experience clearly suggests better and quicker results with younger children .The concerns expressed by parents in the follow up study have led to four new clinical programs being designed (currently under trial).
An impact study of our program, commissioned by Sir Ratan Tata Trust was carried out by an external evaluator( Dr.M.V. Ashok, listed as referee).A baseline study of our current project has also been carried out by him.He may please be contacted for further details.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
We have distributed 6186 communication aids to (4000-5000) individuals/organizations.
About 850 public education posters have also been disbursed to pediatricians, preschools and other stake holders, to date.
Over the last 3 years we have actively reached out to several organizations working in this area. Representatives of about 100 organizations participated in our National Meet organized in December 2008
A workshop on issues that face the families of children with A S D was held and a manual for ‘Families of Children with A S D’ has been produced and released in Oct 2010
Inclusive education – Three workshops on Inclusive Education have been conducted and a network of schools is being developed.
Dr.M.V.Ashok may be contacted for further details.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
It is working in several geographical regions in India.We have three units in Karnataka (Bangalore), two in Kerala (Ernakulum & Calicut), one each in Madhya Pradesh (Gwalior), Maharashtra (Mumbai), Punjab (Ludhiana) and Puducherry,
While interest in replicating Com DEALL units in countries such as UAE,Malaysia and Bangladesh have been received there have been issues with legal requirements which we will have to address .
In principle the model which is within the developmental framework is applicable any where in the world provided there is access to trained manpower.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
We are targeting another dozen such centers in the next three years across India and some neighboring countries.We aim to create a cadre of well trained Early Interventionists(approximately 25 per year) and enhancing capabilities of existing professionals from all related professions(Speech Therapists,Occupational therapists,Physicians,Educators,Psychologists, Pediatricians as well as parents) through short term certificate training programs. In the next three years ,Com DEALL will have a small but committed group of researchers who with the completion and publication of small scale projects with mentoring from senior researchers in grant writing and fund raising, will eventually develop more large scale projects and sustain themselves in future by raising independent research funds.

Income generated from the fees paid by the children is sufficient to run the clinical component. Any individual / organization wishing to start a unit is required to send their core team for a period of two weeks to train at the head office.New units are required to pay approx.$4546 towards, training, monthly monitoring of individual profiles over two years and field inspection by staff from head office. There are some NGOs that wish to start a unit but lack resources either in terms of funds for training and/ infrastructure. We are looking at raising funds to support such needy and deserving institutions for the initial two year period following which we will empower them to become self sufficient. Annual staff salaries for a unit are $8200 ,approx.Fixture furniture and therapy material would cost $2637.
The training component currently receives support through a grant from the Navajbai Ratan Tata trust. However, we plan to be self sufficient by 2015 through the fees collected from individuals trained.
Fund raising activities are proposed for infrastructure development and enhancing visibility of our activities.

Our clinical services have been and will continue to be self sufficient. It is worth noting that these services are hardly available in India. Our units offer quality intensive clinical services at 1/20th to 1/30th the cost of comparable services in the west. This often works out on par or in several instances below the charges that families pay per child for preschool enrollment in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai and are within the reach of most middle and upper middle class families. For those who cannot afford these fees alternates such as sponsorship and the under trial Family Mediated Intervention Programs at lower cost are being put in place.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
AHA! is committed to eliminating bullying and violence between teens and to improving teens' achievement in school and in life outside of school. We set the stage for adolescents to grow into successful, healthy adults and cultivate character and conscience. We accomplish this through our original curriculum, which teaches listening and communication skills, emotional intelligence and empathy through active games, short teaching segments, circle discussion, creative expression and mentorship with skilled facilitators. We serve primarily teens 14-19 years of age but have also begun to serve a small number at-risk young adults at our local community college.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1. To secure funding to continue to serve the 2000+ youth we serve this year, and to be able to expand our services
2. To secure funding to contract an educational/marketing consultant to make our AHA! facilitator trainings (for which we wrote 3 books in 2012) available beyond Santa Barbara - to market these trainings and spread our good work into schools across the U.S.
3. To locate and secure a dedicated space for our programs (we currently share space with other organizations and have vastly outgrown those spaces).

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
AHA! is at a point where its services are in wide demand and strongly appreciated within its home community. We are poised to leap into the next level of service - to move toward serving all Santa Barbara area teens (about 20,000 per year) and to offer trainings in other parts of the state and nation. To successfully garner the funding needed for this next step, we need to re-brand our organization as a whole. Our organization name is not an instant revelation of what we do, and sometimes people find it confusing. Our work tends to be mischaracterized by those who have not had intimate contact with it. We wish to re-brand in a way that will make AHA!'s role and importance instantly and easily recognizable and its value more apparent without extensive explanation. This shift will be instrumental in the marketing and PR push needed to fundraise for our next steps as an organization.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
86% of 125 participants in AHA! after-school programs report improvement in at least one problematic area of their lives; all of these participants reported improvement in 2+ problematic areas and 70% reported improvement in 10+ of these areas. In our in-school programs, over 80% of program participants report that they were more accepting and respectful of others as a result of participation in AHA!. Period truancies fell by half in classes served by AHA! at Santa Barbara High. Reductions are reported in disciplinary problems and student-on-student altercations in schools we serve. At Carpinteria High, suspensions/disciplinary referrals have fallen 70% since we started serving freshmen in 2007. Standardized test scores rose 14 points at Carp High and 41 points (!) at La Cuesta High.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We hope to bring the reductions in disciplinary actions, violence, bullying and prejudice we've seen already into more schools. By creating safe school environments with our curriculum, we intend to support more improvements in standardized test scores and academic achievement, and to help level the playing field for at-risk kids who might not make it through high school or start college without the competencies and supports we deliver through AHA!. Social-emotional learning programs like AHA! are one promising avenue for prevention of substance abuse and mental illness in teens; ths is part of the impact we wish to have as well. By training more teachers and other youth professionals to work with teens through the AHA! curriculum, we hope to spread its impact rapidly and deeply.

Need #2
Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We believe that this game will create useful discussion in school groups about bullying. (our pilot in three schools has demonstrated this). We want to broaden our reach and have many schools in Canada and the US aware of and using this game to talk about the dynamics of bullying. We need to get this project used.
1.
Access to our target audience of middle school kids
2.
Understanding that bullying is a group dynamic where individuals have the power to participate or not.
3.
Our partners must be willing to devote the time to facilitating discussion among the group about what is happening in the game.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support will be focussed on the game, Sir Basil Pike Public School which is web based and simply needs buy in and fascillitation from schools.
We need to place the game in front of influencers to further its adoption.
We need help to create a revenue model that works for both us and our users.
We need help to spread the word about the game as far as possible.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have worked with subject matter experts Debra Pepler and Joanne Cummings from prevnet.ca
They have helped us develop and pilot the game in middle schools.

Oui
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Oui
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Oui
1.
To activate empathy for victims of bullying within general population of school.
2.
To understand how a bystander can enable or reduce bullying behavior.
3.
To encourage those who might be reticent to stand up to do so when confronted by bullying.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
We have only piloted the game in three schools but in those pilots we found that the game produced exceptionally deep and candid discussions among the students. Within the context of the game students were more willing to express their own experiences and share with the group. Also, boys were motivated to advise the girls and vice versa about what to do to a) deal with the immediate problem and b) how trying to succeed may negatively impact on another.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
After receiving professional support from American Express we hope to have the game in use throughout Canada and the United States. We want to develop a revenue model that enables all schools to participate while returning the cost of our investment.

We have developed a product that we are extremely proud of, yet we are unsure as to how to adequately promote it. We are a small nonprofit in Northern Minnesota and almost all of our programming has been focused in this geographic region. As of now, our sales of the Speak Your Peace program have been minimal and local. We believe that the Speak You Peace program could benefit schools nationally and internationally and would like assistance on how we can market/brand Speak Your Peace to attract new larger audiences.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Our model of empowering youth to be the teachers of peace skills originated though a program called STAR (Students Teaching Attitudes and Respect). STAR was created to develop leadership among youth in Northern Minnesota. Teams of middle school students from around the region would come to two day retreats in the fall and spring to learn leadership and peace skills. When they returned to their communities they would have the task of developing presentations to teach these skills to others. STAR has been operating 15 years and has trained over 2,000 students to teach. In 2011 Last year over 9,000 people were in attendance for STAR presentations. Due to STAR's success, Speak Your Peace manual was developed to provide a way to this model to be implemented in schools around the world.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Our envisioned impact is that students all over the world will have the opportunity to learn and teach social and emotional and conflict resolution skills; leading to safer and more respectful schools and happier, healthier students.

The problem we are trying to solve involves reducing the growing trend of young people hurting themselves and others as a result of bullying and cyberbullying. I felt that education in the classroom setting was the proper place to begin tackling the root of this problem, but there were little to no anti-bullying resources made for classroom use.The solution involved creating the Bullying Academy which is an interactive and completely web-based program that provides anti-bullying and cyberbullying curriculums for 4th-8th grade students, and soon 9th-12th.

The problem we are trying to solve involves reducing the growing trend of young people hurting themselves and others as a result of bullying and cyberbullying. I felt that education in the classroom setting was the proper place to begin tackling the root of this problem, but there were little to no anti-bullying resources made for classroom use.The solution involved creating the Bullying Academy which is an interactive and completely web-based program that provides anti-bullying and cyberbullying curriculums for 4th-8th grade students, and soon 9th-12th. The curriculums contain professionally developed, age-appropriate content for each grade. Being that the program is completely web-based it is immediately available to all schools throughout the US with internet access.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1.) Increasing the reach of our marketing efforts aimed at school communities. Although the final users of the Bullying Academy are children, the design of the program is tailored for a classroom environment requiring us to market to educators and administrators. Our immediate goal would include developing strategies to deepen the relationships with existing school communities as well identifying the best avenues for engaging new schools in adopting our program.
2.) Diversify funding by requesting grants/donations from private foundations interested in promoting a program like the Bullying Academy. Our organization recently became a Guidestar exchange partner and is in the process of developing letter of inquiries and other marketing materials for introducing our program to grant-making private foundations. We need to develop procedures for not only initiating contact, but also to foster continued engagement which would include more detailed grant proposals, budget schedules, and program projections.
3.) Develop staffing and management strategies that increase productivity and staff engagement. Our organization could benefit from more defined job responsibilities as well as encouragement to take on special projects of interest. We have the ability to recruit interns but need to establish a framework for delegating appropriate taks to them.

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 need to establish an effective and cost efficient process for advertising and initiating contact with schools to make them aware of our program. During the first academic year, 2011-2012, that our program ran we participated in conventions, and mass email marketing campaigns through agile educational services in order to raise awareness of our product. While the conventions generally resulted in low registration counts, the email campaigns resulted in hundreds of schools registering to use the program being that it was a free service. The second academic year, 2012-2013, we implemented a small fee for each participating school in an attempt to have the program be self sustaining, resulting in the user rate dropping significantly. Moving forward the general plan was to target private foundations for direct funding of schools within a specific geographic region. Using this strategy requires us to develop a means of directly contacting schools, and letting them know the program is available free of charge thanks to grant funding. This marketing plan is still flexible and alternatives strategies should be explored.
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 specific needs of expanding and enhancing our Bullying Academy program.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Our organization has not worked with outside consultants to meet the objectives listed previously. Our directors did work with a sponsorship specialist for about 6 months in order to develop a strategy and marketing material for contacting corporations that might have been interested in partnering with us. The hope was that the corporations would provide funding in exchange for brand association and media coverage related to our program. While the development of a sponsorship component was enlightening, we have stopped pursuing corporations and are focused on private foundation grants.

1.
Identify various methods of attracting new schools to utilize our program.
2.

3.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
The program is currently only available to schools in the United States. We had over 500 schools registered to use the program with at least one school in every state. Since the launch of the program in September of 2011, we have recorded results for 45,000 participating students. We worked with a company called SEG Measurement which confirmed the evidence-based nature of our program. The results demonstrated the progress of student learning by measuring the difference between their pre-quiz and post-quiz results. We are empowering students directly with the proper responses and preventive strategies to ensure bullying doesn’t escalate into a tragic situation.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
After working with American Express our organization will be in a better position for ensuring continued growth of our program. We need to learn what works in terms of acquiring new users of our anti-bullying educational services.

Health care sector Gap filling techy-Transformation
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
“Fill the Gaps in Transforming Health Systems between traditional health care takers and technological health care takers with the society.”
The innovation, is mainly about the society which comprises of Children, Parents & Teachers, since these three are the core group anIn the recent 2013-14 Indian union budget a special sanction was allotted as “169 crore given for develoIn the recent 2013-14 Indian union budget a special sanction was allotted as “169 crore given for development of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani (Natural medicine) and homeopathy”. This shows the traditional medical care is necessary along with allopathy. For the past one year in Tamilnadu, South India the disease of “dengue” fever (due to mosquito) is fast spreading and kills so many innocent civilians as God’s curse. But, the natural medicine cures such disease with very cheaper cost when compare to allapathy.
So, such techniques will be more expensive and lack the versatility required to be of value to the lesser developed world markets. d we should mainly realign the incentives in the healthcare systems among the above three groups only. The gap between Children <-> Parents, Parents <-> Teachers, Children <-> Teachers and Children <-> Society are to be reduced or filled in order to get potential solutions to change the world.
The target population is every person in the world or at least every person who is able to hear typically from age 10 -> 80 yrs.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Nowadays so many NGOs and researchers have sought to use communication method to measure the relationship between the above groups. Lot of orphanages, mentally retarded homes, old age homes, physically challenged homes, etc. But here in my innovation the children, parents, teachers and the society at large should able to realign the gap by this modernism. The Government is not able to monitor such projects and the Insurance such firms are targeted the middle,upper middle class and top class only. Here in this project, no competition, no supplier and the ultimate workforce to be in need to carry out this innovation. The workforce may be in all ages, sectors & religion in order to reach easily to all sectors of poor and rich. There is no other comparable technology in this field.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
We need persons or group with a direct interest, involvement, or small investment in something in transforming the world. A person who has interests in the success of the plans or systems is the vital operating environment.
An aged person Mr.Anna Hazare in India started anti corruption movement and it failed at last due to money involvement through corporate giants for such movement.
Hence, mouth to mouth, one to one operation in society and mass targeted groups of Schools and colleges are to be organized in a well attractive manner through a well planned network. The program consists of encouragement, entertainment, cultural events, Expose talent, small drama, audio visual, etc..
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Self help group consists of women, men and youth, retired staff, part-time employees to be formed and motivate them to spend their time usefully. Every individual should worry about their body health and mind health. Hence, it is the way in which we should penetrate into their mind and do their routine work along with physical & mental exercises. This is simple but the way in which through entertainment, and other expenses are must to attract such crowd.
Hence, we require funding to implement our non-profit cum business plan. We have encountered a huge body of skeptical opinion and also what appears to be an increasingly organized body of resistance. It is simply an awareness campaign along with self confession crusade to progress gentle and steady in their balance life.

It is everyone’s responsibility to preserve our body & mind in good form. But so far, 90% of the society is not worry about the maintenance of BODY & MIND, since it is a technologically developed era and most of the community people are duty conscious. Nowadays, 50% of the youth are rushing fast towards earning money. Anxiety becomes the cause of all the problems. Hence, a person should have a strong BODY as well as MIND will only get REAL success in their personal life as well as in their family/society. We have to create awareness to know better knowledge about the treatment and follow up by clubbing the traditional health care and modern technology health care at a cheaper(affordable) price with genuine medicines. Teachers & doctors should play major role in this innovation.

We categorise the school children & college students as:
Normal, Physically challenged, Patient,
The parents of the school and college students are as:
Economically backward, Middle/working class, illiterates, Top class
The teachers and society clause are as: Men and women in Normal and with disease.
Patient category is concerned, It is difficult for any doctor to make an accurate diagnosis of disease. As you can see, nowadays it is not easy to get genuine medicine and doctors; hence, it is our duty to give solutions for their exact disease. The ultimate aim of this innovation in this category is to reduce the cost, fast recovery, good medical care and genuine medicine with the help of allopathy and natural medicines like homeopathy Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
Overall vision and objective is simple but firm in the following levels by giving practical solutions. “A beautiful life does not just happen. It is built daily with prayers,yoga,truthfulness, sincerity, sacrifice & love and May the beautiful life always is yours”
a)To reduce the cost at all level
b)Get the genuine medical person and product
c)Time saving
d)Body and Mind care at ease
e)Live simple in doing simple (practice the simplicity)
f)Savings from their salary for their future prospects.
g)Overall developing of “self-control” amidst anxiety.
h)Guide for the future opportunity/career
The team volunteers should approaches to behavioral changes at all level, Patient-centered level and do necessary correction if found any violation in their life span.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Meet all sectors regularly and shape their life with limited approach. Initially we start with school and college students along with their parents to know their children very well and vice versa.
In our society, lots of divorces are increasing and because of that also the future children are not able to frame their life with humanity. So, it is better to counseling family wise to get good result if possible.
The health awareness is the major agenda for this innovation and periodical check up is necessary for the age above 40.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Our customers are every individual, patient, doctors and on the whole the vast majority of the world's population.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
By using the technology we can be made available by internet for the literates and however for illiterates we can meet them at one common place near their livelihood.
Our policy is to deal with educated and uneducated common civilians alongwith competent medical doctors, to train them to use the technology, and to support them to treat patients easily. The dedicated doctors are benefitted and the patients who can not afford to go to high class hospitals are also benefitted. It is better to identify the correct & suitable doctors in time for the diseases.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
Our primary activities are focused upon proving to fill the gap between the traditional health care and modern health care medical concept. Although it has been used in create greater value in health for society. Prevention is better than cure is the older concept in Indian tradition and we have to motivate the society at large to take extra care in maintaining their body and mind as well as consult the expertise in time.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
The whole medical field is hugely ultramodern and resistant to change in order to earn more and more money. People make decisions based upon what they have seen and done in their lives. New and troublemaking technologies are hard for the older, decision-maker to handle. So, we must align with the modern medical team with the old traditional medical team in order to get correct result with cheaper cost.
A range of medical technologies are developed and in use are currently being well developed. No other technology in development, at least to our knowledge at such competitive cost. People can go to any hospital and get a cheap and best medical care. Every where the good medical care with affordable prices will only prevails, since they will come to our track to “serve the humanity”.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
I can say clearly that initially the new technology medical team will object such innovation as well as the traditional medical team will also object for the implement at the beginner level. But at later stage both will come closer in order to serve the society. Hope, the Government will opt the opinion with their legal team to organize such technological gathering.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. The growth of the business will depend upon the level of investment in man power and funds.

Groupe(s) de nouveaux clients .
Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
Since, it is depends upon the survival problem with a greater segment of doctors community, we can not go directly in the innovation. It can not be used immediately. But it works, and appears to work very well at the later stage.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
The Key growth objective: to get this technology used everywhere.
Nowadays "depression"' is a common disease and it known as emotions. However, in medical circles, term depression often refers to the symptom of a psychological disorder. Depression can ruin your personal as well as your social life. Patients often felt depressed hence, the team should eradicate depression at large.
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
The time-frame for growth is dependent upon the scale of investment and makes ready the alignment of sector wise people. Initial time spend will be based on the program on development of volunteers to undergo this innovation. Then the team will undergo physical entrance into the society with regular and various phases.

To be frank I am telling with you, the innovation is the best one to give awareness among all type of communities’ people, but this progress has been hampered by the regulatory requirements in the major world markets. Even the Government may oppose this with the help of medical boards through legal procedures in order to slow down this process.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
To fill the gap in the health sector is not an easy job. We have not reached the stage when & where we can satisfactorily answer this question, since it is based on the acceptance of the common people.

Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
We can implement this innovation slowly and steadily in order to sow the right path among the school children and so on. Hence, our progress is entirely dependent upon securing funds or investment. Accordingly it is necessary to continue to collide with medical team, the scientific argument, seek clinical and academic partners.
If we secure the required level of funding we can envisage introducing this innovation technology in all world markets for research and commercial use. If we do, the society will bloom with a change in the next few years.

Happy Dickens - Center for Positive Behavior
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
The wide range of customized services and the highly educated and experienced personnel make this initiative an excellent choice for parents and schools. 'Happy Dickens' s innovative approach regards the way experts treat children and educate caregivers. The key is to listen the children’s voices, understand their needs and develop offerings that meet them well. The Center has also developed educational programs that reach schools and child care centers, aiming to increase the number of people who acquire the skills to manage children appropriately. The experts of 'Happy Dickens' develop effective, tailored developmental programs for children and their families. The Center seeks to develop cooperation with parents and teachers, aiming at long-term and lasting changes in their lives.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
The Innovation Model of the Centre is based on the establishment and cooperation of a scientific team of experienced specialists from different disciplines (e.g. child psychologist; special educator; social worker for children; musicologist, etc), who offer practical solutions to a number of challenges encountered by children but also by those who are responsible for children’s care (e.g. parents; educators; caregivers, etc) during the building of their character.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
The establishment of a cooperative non-profit organization with an emphasis on collaboration, along with the development of a team involving experienced specialists from different disciplines make this initiative a success.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
The continuous innovation of the Center is achieved by developing partnerships with university faculty, funding joint research projects and providing fellowships to young scientists, aiming to promote research as a tool for development. Furthermore, the adoption of knowledge management tools (e.g. AssocioNet, Triple Creek, KM training & education, etc.) and innovation models allow both the development of new services and the involvement of customers in Center’s innovation activities and also strengthen its position against external challenges.

Children need help and support, especially in this uncertain and violent environment. Some of the problems is childhood depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem that many times lead to a poor performance at school. On the other hand, parents and educators need some guidance on how to treat children to develop balanced and creative personalities. Many parents and teachers do not know how to cope with the challenges encountered in the nurture and upbringing of a child. Due to the poor economic situation, Greek state fails to create those structures that would help children overcome their issues and also seems to be unable to train and guide parents and teachers to properly manage those challenges. There are around 1,300 schools with more than 300,000 children at the chosen area.

The goal of 'Happy Dickens' is to provide the necessary resources and knowledge to help children develop a creative and firm personality, by offering high quality customized services, such as counseling, coaching and specialized day programs. On the other hand, 'Happy Dickens' aims to offer training and workshops to parents and caregivers, schools, child care centers and more in order to help them succeed in the difficult task of raising and upbringing a child.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
The Center for Positive Behavior 'Happy Dickens' is a non profit organization, which offers practical solutions to a number of challenges and issues faced by children (aged 18 months to 14 years), parents, teachers and caregivers. The goal is to help children develop a creative and firm personality and also to support and guide the people who care to do the hard work of raising and upbringing a child.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Parents interact with schools, childcare centers as well as with the extracurricular activities of children. The children live in a community where the financial and psychological pressure and the social turmoil add stress to their everyday life. On the other hand, every child has their own unique abilities and preferences. The Centre collects all this information after consultation with parents and teachers in order to create customized services that meet the needs of both children and caregivers.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Children, Parents & Guardians, Teachers & Educators, Caregivers of Children
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
The methods used to approach customers is special internet portals, advertising brochures, contacts with parents and guardians associations, contacts with health professionals (e.g. psychologists, speech therapists, etc.).
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
The Centre's aim is to develop services that will help children with issues such as Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nutritional problems, violence, disobedience and so on. Yet, the Center develops programs for talented and creative children, which are aimed at supporting and developing their talents. It also provides training and workshops to parents and teachers and helps children to enhance their social and learning skills.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
Peers are defined as those who collaborate with the Center, such as the health specialists, scientists, researchers and so on. On the other hand, there is no competition in the narrow sense, since “Happy Dickens” is the only center of its kind in the selected geographical area. Both individual private companies, based on profit, and public-community organizations, which focus on the needs of the population are trying to meet specialized needs. This makes them partly competitors, but considering that the Center intends to develop such activities, those companies can and should become customers of “Happy Dickens”. This prospect also shows the potential development of the Centre.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
By the formation of the core founding team, the basic conditions have been created for the Center to start its operation. One’s personal weakness can be covered with the addition of other partners. The plethora of the programs, the coordination of partners, the knowledge transfer, and the exchange of experience, are some of the challenges to be faced by the Center. On the other hand, the evaluation of the programs during the implementation, the weekly management team meetings, and the written reports, are the first steps to ensure that “Happy Dickens” has developed its own expertise, which will not depend exclusively on the experience of the partners.

This initiative could work in other geographical areas in Greece. More specifically, it could be expanded to cities with more than 10.000 inhabitants.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
The social impact is estimated to be significant. The Centre will be known to those who shape the character of the child, as it would become their valuable advisor and, therefore, it is estimated to have helped a good number of children and parents to address their difficulties. Additionally, the Center will aim to develop collaboration with university faculty to promote research, foster innovation, give internship opportunities to students, and encourage volunteerism.
Finally, in a time of crisis Thessaloniki, Greece would be proud of a structure, which offers the most to shape positive behavior and lifestyle.

Many people are unable to pay for our services due to the difficult financial situation in Greece. Therefore, some activities will be offered for free under certain conditions. Additionally, the Center will provide activities free of charge in various social associations for children and parents, with the active participation of volunteers, such as students of psychology, social work, etc. The overall result of those operations aims at the positive contribution to the Greek society and the city of Thessaloniki.

The programs and the activities will be valued as services and thereby sustain the financing of the Centre.
The sale of services would generate revenue, of which most of it will be reinvested in new activities, creating the core financing for the future. Thus, "Happy Dickens" would increase its funding base by developing its product portfolio. The maturity of this cycle is estimated for three years.
So many families are suffering. Our country is suffering. We have a mental health system that is broken. There aren't enough beds in psychiatric hospitals. Mothers fight with treatment teams trying to get their children longer hospital stays just so they can be treated before being discharged. Our jails and our streets have become our new go-to destination for the mentally ill.
Families are ready to be organized to advocate for improvements to treatment services and community services, including housing, job training and employment.

Croissance (votre pilote fonctionne et commence à prendre de l'ampleur)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
Almost 80% of Romanian has dental problems and cavities are the most common problem ever had. 4 out of 10 confront with dental plaque and 3 out of 10 have bad breath and sensitive teeth. 49% hasn’t visited the dentist in the last year.
In the same time, oral disease is the 4th most expensive group of diseases to treat in the EU, which can mean a lot for a health budget which represents only 3.8% of the GDP.
Smiling Romania Campaign is about educating people and helping public health institution in identifying solutions for a better healthcare system.
Expenditure on treatment of oral conditions often exceeds that for other diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and dementia.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Our solution involves educating as many people as possible, starting from the young generation, and involving a large number of relevant influencers to drive behaviors to prevent oral disease rather than cure. If every stakeholder, part of the system, is involved and has ownership, the problem solving mechanism works better and faster.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
The innovation of the Smiling Romania campaign lays in the fact that it brings together Romanian authorities, dentists, consumers, celebrities, and NGOs with the same goal: to create a healthy generation through education and prevention. Until this campaign, no health public institution took publicly any actions for a healthy oral care behavior. It is also the first campaign that combines commercial agenda with a social one.
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
The roundtable from the Romanian Parliament on 12 of September was followed by roundtables in the main cities from Romania with Dental Faculties. As a result of the round tables organized in important economic and academic centers, the local authorities, together with the dental faculties and GSK agreed on the need to improve the prevention of oral disease in each county. During the discussions, a call to action approach was launched, with GSK’s support, to educate children in schools.
GSK, together with its partners, United Way Romania ( which itself is a sister NGO of United Way USA) and Save the Children Romania also created a fund dedicated to prevention and education activities targeting unprivileged children. “Smiling Corners” were set up, offering oral care products to children in 22 United Way Social Centers, 14 schools in the Danube Delta and 25 Save the Children Romania Social Centers Also, due to the fact that people are afraid of the costs of a dental checkup, the campaign offered a free of charge check-up at the dentist at national level.
Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?
Our peers are other companies which have in their portfolio oral care products ( such as Colgate and P&G). Nevertheless, no other company on the Romanian market managed to gather this amount of stakeholders under one campaign’s umbrella. Colgate has implemented some activities in this field but limited to their commercial objectives. We welcome more competitive engagement in the social arena to really positively influence consumer behavior in Romania.

Smiling Romania campaign is an extension of the Platform for Better Oral Health in Europe, an initiative which was launched by GSK and its partners, including European Association for Dental Public Health (EADPH), the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) and the Council of European Chief Dental Officers (CECDO), and Wrigley.
Oral disease is the 4th most expensive group of diseases to treat in the EU. The objective of this EU Platform is to help improve oral healthcare and reduce the cost of oral diseases. Oral Health means more than good teeth. It’s a determinant factor for quality of life, essential for well-being and an integral part of general health, especially relevant in Romania.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
•Thus, after 6 round tables in 6 cities involving over 80 public health representatives and 238 participants, the campaign started a long term educational project targeting 13.500 children in 45 kindergartens and 90 schools in Romania by the end of 2013.
•Setting over 50 smiling corners in social centers from 3 NGOs including United Way Romania.
•Over 6000 children and adults from social centers received oral care products and oral health advices from the dentist. Also in campaign gathered 10.000 Euro which will be spent to treat the most serious oral care problems of children from social centers.
•We distributed over 30.000 birth kits in maternities for mothers who contains advice for a good oral health and oral care products.
•Over 1200 dentists from 42 counties agreed to be our partners in campaign and provide advice and free consultations.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
Our aim is to reach every child from Romania and their parents to made them to brush their teeth twice a day, to make them aware about the importance of a healty diet and to increase with 10% the number of people from Romania who have regular visits at the dentist.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Resistance to change by society. The most important barrier in Romania is that people do not believe in prevention. We can overcome this barrier by involving dentists, celebrities, dental students, school teachers and parents to build awareness of the benefits of prevention rather than cure.

We create value by changing people's life. Smiling Romania is a campaign which can change the future and help to increase consumption of oral care products in Romania.Oral care category has decreased by 15% in volume in the last two years. Smiling Romania will bring new consumers into the oral care category.

Stabilité (le projet a dépassé les premières étapes et obtient de bons résultats)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
After the end of 42 years of harsh authoritarian regime, the Libyan citizens are now facing a crucial transition towards a democratic state where the people are the source of authority. The Libya Youth Center (in Tripoli, Libya) was initiated by OMV to offer the prospect of a more carefree future to children and adolescents who have suffered from acts of war and their consequences in Libya. The primary goal of the center is to enable young people to work through their experiences with professional support
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
OMV and Hilfswerk Austria International worked closely with the National Transitional Council and local stakeholders during the project planning and implementation phase, and, after 24 months, the center will be handed over to the Libyan authorities, who will continue to run it. Since spring 2012, the psycho-social center has acted as a drop-in center for distressed children and adolescents between the ages of six and 25. Six international and up to 50 Libyan experts and volunteers are working at the center to provide the best-possible support and therapy to all visitors. In addition, psycho-therapeutic counseling and support, leisure and outdoor activities and educational programs are provided, with a particular emphasis placed on the inclusion of parents and families. Moreover, mobile teams carry out educational work in schools, hospitals and local community centers to help those affected overcome any inhibitions and fears.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
Speaking about the Libya Youth Center, OMV CEO, Gerhard Roiss, said: “True partners prove themselves during times of crisis. We have a responsibility towards the citizens of Libya as well as to our local staff. Just as we continued to pay our local employees during times of unrest even though production was halted, we are now helping the younger generation to overcome their fears and carry the hope of a better future.”
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
As there are only a few relevant institutions of this kind in Tripoli, the need for psychosocial support is particularly high. Over 600 children and adolescents are currently being given counseling and support and to increase this number further, training and education will be offered to local volunteers who are active in the social sector. The goal is to give support to
around 1,200 children and adolescents in the next two years.
These general figures should be underlined with an example: Anas, an 11 year old beneficiary of the center. Back in April 2012 he pictured himself as a revolutionary and expressed proud for being responsible for the death of a person he shot in his forehead. Involved in the centers activities he was at the beginning obviously intentionally negatively affecting the group. After only one month he was very calm, active and happy when given attention and positive encouragements. He is now more outgoing and relaxed and does not miss any day at the center.
The nature of the task (first youth center of its kind in Tripoli) as well as the circumstances (post-revolution) demanded and still demands full resourcefulness from all team members involved. The key factor was the combination of a fully fledged project management with the necessary sensitivity and experience to react quickly on daily challenges and opportunities. Regarding the day-to-day creativity in the center please see our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Libya-Youth-Center/241157739311357

The most moving moment was, when I saw for the first time Anas' drawing. We ask him: "Draw something you like!". And he pictured himself as a revolutionary and expressed proud for being responsible for the death of a person he shot in his forehead. The fact that we could help him express this, was already a success for me. Any moved me a lot after all the hard work it took to set up the center within the very demanding and fragile security situation
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
We have directly reached over 600 people. If you count our outreach and train-the-trainer (we train social workers at public schools) the figure is far beyond 1400.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
We want to help young Libyans to take their future in their own hands.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
The fragile security situation is by far the most challenging issues. Unfortunately there is not much we directly can do about it. Although we want to show some of these young people, that weapons are not powerful. Real power comes from self-believe, self-confidence and and the freedom of expression.

With Resourcefulness – our concept for responsible business behavior - we seek projects addressing specific requirements and demonstrating long-term partnership, while also providing OMV with business opportunities. These opportunities can arise through developing the capability of the local communities in its broadest sense. I believe that in Libya opportunities for OMV will arise from the positive associations that anyone who is touched by the OMV Libya Youth Center might make with us, and what it demonstrates about who we are and what we stand for.
Comment allez-vous tirer parti des ressources internes (les fonds, le temps, les connaissances, etc) pour soutenir cette initiative?
OMV will invest 2mio EUR over the course of 2 years.
Développer votre réponse, en expliquant le financement à long terme et un plan de soutien.
In order to sustain our program we were ask by the ministry of education to work with them to do two things: 1) create the capability among the local social worker population to reach out to into the schools and take the learnings and the skills there. 2) to develop the local experts who could continue running the center after we have gone.
Parlez-nous de vos partenariats au sein de votre entreprise et à l'extérieur qui sont la clé de la réussite de votre projet.
Internally the setup required a multi-disciplinary team (community relations, procurement, legal, communication, business operations,...) and a strong partnership with a Hilfswerk Austria International, an international relief-organization with many year of experience and extensive knowledge in just this kind of developing cooperation. Excellent stakeholder engagement with local authorities and ministries will be crucial for a sustainable handover.
Quel soutien interne avez-vous reçu pour votre projet? Quel genre de commentaires critiques avez-vous reçu?
I truly believe: If the meaning is clear everyones in and supportive. This is exactly what I experienced when setting up the Libya Youth Center
The project aims to empower young people to communicate their ideas, exhibit their potential and to take social action in their communities through articulating their messages by Digital Media and creation of the arts. Global Developmental Corps (GDC) will deliver an innovative program for the youth to engage in hands-on on media production by producing Arts – photography, creative design, videography and poetry using Adobe Computer Software that the organization has secured and to tell their stories and share their perspectives on the social issues that affect them.

Création (un pilote qui vient juste de démarrer)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
Development of Creativity and Innovation as an essential skillset instead of as a hobby in education system
This is a Rs 10,000 Crore Indian Rupees market size.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
This is creative eco-system combining product lines of e-lessons, virtual world/online gaming and merchandize kits with distribution through local centers and business partners. Kids touchpoint are schools, online or web as well as online purchase and retail stores
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
Google is largest company in the world and content owner. Businesses will take that shape as we move forward in a digitally driven world with graphic communication. Kids today are not being taught at essential skill education level to use and develop their creativity to be professionals like we do with language or mathematics. This leads to poor quality and lack of preparation in finding such human resource which can shape tomorrow's world.
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
Imagine a class being taken in a school where 450 lessons of creativity develop in a structured manner are taught to kids from Class I to Class X. Exactly the same they are taught humanities, mathematics and language. The kids grow into these skills in a structured manner and shape their thinking. They have additional tools and engagement provided on web based platform in form of virtual worlds and online gaming to consistently develop into this learning path while doing what they love to do. And there is material based things to assist the smell, touch, feel senses while developing these capabilities thus keeping them connected to real world and developing them into innovation and creation. Material based things are merchandise kits. KIDS all over the world grow using these education eco-system exactly the same they grow into linguistic skills, number skills or other forms of knowledge but with a far better presence of education experience. Combine - khan academy, e-learning in schools from pearsons, art kits from say crayola combined together planned and executed on same platform in a structured manner inculcating creativity and innovation
Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?
There is no competitior in this space. And we mean it. There is no structured product with structured 450 lessons in visual arts and other lessons in art forms worldwide. There are competing products in online space like "moshi monsters" or creative verse from Linden labs but ours is combined with a full scale eco-system. Merchandize kits also will not have a competitor as we will license our designs to a large merchandize company.

For the product development, we have been conducting workshops in focus groups of kids in communities, schools etc. In one of the schools in Dombivili, Mumbai, where kids are educated in an innovative, simple and exploratory manner, when we conducted the workshops of entire of exercises of ten key drivers of this systems, we were amazed with instant results. The behaviour kids started to change in terms of creation, construction and innovation which was beyond even what he had thought. That was a big AHA moment and i believe we recorded that also.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
We have not made much money as product development is in progress but we would have conducted workshops with over 1000 kids and affected their creative thinking behvaiour.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
Next 1 year - we are developing the product and looking for money to develop it well. Some of the skillsets can be found only in US so we have to build a fairly global team.
Next 3 years - We would be able to impact around 1000 schools and 10,000 children who can adopt this system. We have not yet estimated the market size for online world/ Ipad/Mmog product line as we have not done the Beta yet.
We aim to affect around 50 million kids during our human lifetimes.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Funding is a major challenge due to innovative nature of product which challenges some structure of current education system.
Adaptability by schools and teachers at school level will be another challenge.
High involvement of parents is needed for success of Learning path and engagement of teachers, parents and kids together will have a real impact. Family values are important for its success.
Cultural adaptation of products will be another challenge as we are facing that in middle east so lot of exercises have to re-done.

This can provide a lifetime business which is sustainable as any education system is in our society
Being disruptive in nature, this has potential of very high topline with fairly high margins. This is disruptive revenue opportunity for our business.
There are 7000 schools in india alone which can adapt this system quite gracefully and with interest once the product is ready. We charge Rs 60 per month per student per school with capacity of average 1000 students means Rs 500+ Crore of revenues on year-on-year basis.
Comment allez-vous tirer parti des ressources internes (les fonds, le temps, les connaissances, etc) pour soutenir cette initiative?
We have started small using existing skillsets to launch the GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL COURSES on one site and also taking them online in next 4 months. While doing that we are investing from revenues slowly into this product development for KALADHAAR KIDS space. We dont need money for development on GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL COURSES platform as it is nearly done.
We have the best of creative directors, designers, animation directors, animators supporting us in our endeavours. People just love what we do and often wait on the flanks to join ius.
Développer votre réponse, en expliquant le financement à long terme et un plan de soutien.
We need around USD 5 million to finish development, expand and exploit the plan and there will be not any funding required after that as the margins of business are high with well defined market size and identified customers.
Parlez-nous de vos partenariats au sein de votre entreprise et à l'extérieur qui sont la clé de la réussite de votre projet.
Key partnerships being targetted will be Google, Intel, Fisher Price, Hobby Ideas in India, Large retailers like Big Bazaar, Target/Walmart in US.
For school distribution, we will have local distribution partners who also run KALADHAAR CENTER and license our products for local communities. This distribution network is critical for expansion and sustainable success of plan.
Quel soutien interne avez-vous reçu pour votre projet? Quel genre de commentaires critiques avez-vous reçu?
Being a CEO, I have pushed it but due to the enormity of the product, my partners do tend to believe this to be very long-term while still working on product development.
This is internally funded.

Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
When facing crime and conflict in schools, often teacher, administrator and school resource officer tools are limited to suspensions, expulsions, tickets and other punishments. In 2008-09, St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) School Resource Officers (SROs) arrested 236 juveniles and 1172 students were suspended or expelled. Of those suspended or expelled, 33% were Latino youth, disproportionate to the 27% Latino population in the schools. In the 2009-10 school year, 63000 days of unexcused absences occurred and over 1800 students were suspended or expelled. (CO Dept of Education 2011) Criminalizing school-based offenses has led to accusations of a schools-to-prison pipeline in which academic failure, dropout rates, truancy and exclusionary discipline practices are key elements.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
LCJP offers the only restorative alternative to using the criminal justice system or serious school consequences to reduce crime and conflict in the SVVSD. Restorative Justice (RJ) strengthens community, builds accountability and focuses on harm and repair in a way that can help reduce the likelihood of re-offense. Students often have no means of repairing harm caused by their behavior, leaving both the victim and offender feeling isolated. Furthermore, students have little opportunity for school-bonding and successful reintegration once an incident has occurred. RJ increases empathy by giving the victim the chance for equal voice; the offender the opportunity to discover how the victim, community and himself/herself have been affected; repairing harm to the fullest extent possible; teaching students to be peer leaders by empowering youth to take the lead in RJ process; and keeping students in school and out of the justice system. RJ directly breaks the schools-to-prison pipeline.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
In the Pilot Project (PP), the full spectrum of discipline offenses—from repeated classroom disruption to relational issues between students to possession of drugs to assault—can be addressed using a restorative intervention led by a trained team of middle and high school students. Referrals come to a coordinator from school personnel, school resource officers, and students themselves, and are then assigned to members of the Student RJ Team who can lead—in either English or Spanish—Connection Circles for community building, Restorative Mediation for relationship problems, and Solution Circles when an offense has occurred. The lifecycle of each of these processes is based on the principles of relationship, respect, responsibility, repair, and reintegration. The members of the Student RJ Team facilitate repairing harm to the fullest extent possible by giving equal voice to all participants, identifying how each person has been affected and creating a restorative agreement. In the 2010-11 school year, 89% of the 100 referred students completed their agreements, 111 days of suspension were prevented (an increase of 777 school hours), 52 tickets/court referrals were avoided, and 6 students who would have been expelled were able to remain in school. In addition, 95% of process participants—victims, offenders, school personnel, student community representatives and parents—reported that they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the restorative process. The PP directly addresses the need to keep students in school, enhance empathy, and reduce crime and conflict in our schools.

The Pilot Project (PP) is the result of a partnership with the Longmont Police Department School Resource Officer (SRO) Program and the St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) who are also working to reduce crime, suspensions and expulsions in the schools. In an effort to include all stakeholders, one of the SVVSD Area Assistant Superintendents, the SROs of all the pilot schools, two representatives from school administration, the Sergeant of the Longmont SROs, City of Longmont Children, Youth and Family Services and RJ field experts sit on an Advisory Group for the PP to solidify the collaborative relationship necessary for continued partnership. Currently, we are the only organization offering a restorative alternative in the SVVSD, as well as in the Longmont community.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
The impact of the Pilot Project (PP) from Aug 2010 to Feb 2012 has been twofold: increasing school success for referred students and youth empowerment and ownership for the members of the Student RJ Team. For the referred students, the PP has prevented 150 days of suspension (approximately 1050 hours of class time saved), 8 expulsions, and 71 court referrals, demonstrating an impact on reducing crime and exclusionary discipline in the pilot schools. It has also allowed the offenders to hear directly from the people affected, and assess how the ripple effect can be both negative and positive. Equally important is the impact that the PP has had on the students trained to facilitate the processes who have logged more than 1200 volunteer hours; developed high level skills such as active listening, reframing, sensitivity to power dynamics, and conflict resolution; and discovering that they can successfully affect change in their school by being active, engaged members of their community.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
The Pilot Project (PP) is expected to expand over the next 3 years—increasing our case capacity, effectively reducing exclusionary discipline practices and court referrals, training more students to lead Restorative Justice (RJ) processes, shifting toward a culture of conflict resolution and early intervention based on the principles of relationship, respect, responsibility, repair and reintegration, and enhancing empathy in both referred students and facilitators. We are currently undertaking a peer-coaching/training model in which mentoring of new members plays a central role. As a means of supporting this peer-to-peer modality, we have designed a Student Summer Internship to assist with project development, training of new Student RJ Team members and youth-adult collaboration.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
The primary barriers to project success are lack of funding, inability to access teachers and lack of time for training. To mitigate financial instability, our organization has completed a matching grant of $35,000 for a total of $70,000 in reserve for RJ in schools and will seek further grants. Overcoming inability to access teachers and lack of time for training opportunities falls into the outreach plan for the next 12 months. Classroom time is precious, so to train teachers on conflict resolution strategies within the PP we have designed a Summer Training Institute in which one of the Student RJ Team (SRJT) members will be assistant trainer. We have also created a 40-hour training for SRJT members in July and a Summer Internship for a team member to further develop the youths' skills.

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world [125 words]
In 2008, the Superintendent of St. Vrain Valley School District announced at a School Board Meeting that he wanted to use restorative justice with cases of non-mandatory expulsion. When that program had a 75% success rate, LCJP saw an opportunity to deepen the impact restorative justice has in SVVSD by targeting a feeder system and utilizing the wisdom of youth to lead the charge. In 2010, the Pilot Project emerged with the idea of recruiting and training high school students to facilitate RJ circles. A coordinator who spends 3 days a week in the high school was hired, and the Student RJ Team began to field cases of theft, fights at school, bullying, assault and harassment. Early on it was clear that we needed to not only address the high level disciplinary interventions, but also provide earlier opportunities for restorative interactions, leading to training in and utilization of restorative mediation and connection circles for relationship building--addressing the full spectrum.

The City of Longmont and the Longmont Police Department have been partners since 1996. Our Pilot Project relies heavily on relationships with the School Resource Officers and St. Vrain Valley School District as well as our volunteers on the Student RJ Team. Currently, we are working to expand our partnerships with local businesses. Ziggi’s Coffee House in Longmont has agreed to partner with us to provide low-cost meals during monthly RJ Skills Training making it possible to attract students to consistently attend these early morning meetings. Blackjack Pizza has also provided food previously.

We rely exclusively on the Student RJ Team and RPS Coordinator for leading processes, training, and outreach. Goals for next year are to increase the number of students trained to lead all proceses and more opportunities for peer coaching, mentorship and practice. Our program is dependent on students self-referring and administrators/School Resource Officers referring cases. In May we will begin an outreach and education plan that includes presentations at lunch in all of the Pilot Schools, recruitment for next year, and monthly reminders to referring agents to help increase our visibility.

Basic access to recreation should not be at a cost for people who live with disabilities or who suffer with addiction. Access to our run/walk programs which are free provides opportunities for socialization without judgement. Proper nutrition and supportive training is the key to a healthier lifestyle and provides opportunities for change in an individuals lifestyle and health.

Run for Change is interested in expanding to different communities within BC, offering Run/Walk programs to low-income communities and to those living in shelters or who may be dealing with addictions and mental health. We have grown in Vancouver and have been interested in expanding to Surrey, North Shore, New Westminster, Coquitlam and beyond. We need to recruit more expert leaders within run communities to aid us in our goal to start programs which therefore could train individuals to be run/walk leaders in their own community and lead healthier lifestyles.

At the age of 7 Brad was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. As young as he was, he was already an aspiring, gifted athlete but alcohol and drugs led him down a very dark path. Brad became an uncommitted, disgruntled, pot-smoking alcoholic and basically gave up on his athletic career.
He was not happy with the man he had become and wanted to change. Brad started focussing on more positive ways to better himself. After a rocky two years, Brad approached the Run For Change Society and asked for their support. He made the right choice.
Brad now runs regularly with the Run for Change Society. His passion is running and his goal is to change his lifestyle and be a role model that those around him can look up to.
Through Run For Change, we are supporting Brad in his goal to regain a connection to his family in Inuvik by creating a series of runs which in hopes will bring awareness to Vancouver and other communities of Brad's struggle. These runs are listed below:
Carnegie Centre, Vancouver to Whistler
125 km - September 1, 2012 @ 6am (COMPLETED)
Carnegie Centre, Vancouver to Chilliwack
105 km - September 22, 2012 @ 6am
Back Alley Run
4km - October 12, 2012 @ 10am
Carnegie Centre, Vancouver to Hope
155 km - October 13, 2012 @5am
These runs are not only to build awareness to Vancouver and other communities regarding Brad's struggle, but to also strengthen Brad's endurance and own recovery. Next year, Brad wants to run to Inuvik his hometown. We hope to help him accomplish this goal to reconnect with his family.

Run for Change was founded by Benji Chu in 2010 because he realized the power of running. Benji ran in many marathons over the years and raised money for Charity, but he knew the greatest power was not from fundraising but from running and felt that others could benefit from this same sense of empowerment and achievement, so he started Run For Change. RFC works in partnership with Carnegie Community Centre and its aim is to introduce low-income, shelter, recovery and homeless people living in Vancouver’s Downtown East side to a healthier, more active lifestyle through regular running/walking. Run for Change also provides running shoes and running clothes to those that need them, and sponsors its participants in local running events, such as the Vancouver Sun Run,as well it organizes its own annual 5km fun run in August that is free of charge to participants. RFC recognizes their achievements simply by crossing the finish line and making an effort.

Forty-five people are registered with Run for Change and roughly 25 show up each weekend. Just before 10 a.m. one Sunday morning in February, they start to file through the front doors of the Carnegie Centre. The members range from low-income residents, recovery centre patients, adults with mental disabilities and families. Since Kate Wikeland joined Run for Change in the fall, her goal is to accomplish the “Great Walk” from Gold River to Tahsis in what is known as “burning boot country” on Vancouver Island, which covers more than 60 kilometres of logging roads and is considered one of the most difficult walks in North America.
“[The running group] is not just getting my endurance up, though,” says the enthusiastic 40-something woman with dark blond hair. “It’s the mental, emotional and spiritual boost of positivity.”
The last word is one she vigorously repeats.

We are currently in the midst of something of a global epidemic of childhood disorders, whereby substantial portions of young children are affected by pathological states of mind and behaviors.
For example:
Kelowna 2012 - an 8 year old girl was admitted to the General Hospital because she wanted to commit suicide.
British Columbia - statistics indicate that more than 140,000 of the 580,000 children and youth over the age of six are estimated to have mental disorders that impair their cognitive functioning and over 64,000 children are affected with anxiety.
In Canada - 5 year olds are being hospitalized for anorexia.
In the UK - one million kids are bullied every week
And worldwide - one suicide occurs every 40 seconds.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
The Magic of Think ameliorates such distressing statistics by developing a curriculum which is designed to increase in children the virtue of “courage” – that is, by literally “encouraging” them. The Magic of Think uses pedagogical tools and techniques based on proven principles of learning. We help children become resilient individuals who can deal with life’s challenges in positive and constructive ways. We keep the child’s imagination and mind highly engaged through the use of animated characters, rhyme, technology, stories and award-winning original music.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The Magic of Think curriculum - along with the companion instructional materials - was developed with an overarching vision: namely, to promote in children a resiliency to the vicissitudes and anxieties of childhood. Specifically, it sets out to empower children with social, emotional, and cognitive tools to promote mental health in general, and to prevent depression and anxiety. Through songs and activities, students develop positive self-images, learn how to express gratitude, and, more generally develop the sorts of social skills which are so frequently absent in at-risk children. They are also taught how to respond to anxiety using an age-appropriate relaxation technique, maintain well-being through physical activity, and identify their social support network. Lastly, they are encouraged to identify their own goals and dreams, and pinpoint specific things, which make them unique and wonderful individuals.
The activities in this course help students understand and apply the lessons from the songs on The Magic of Think CD. These activities are also designed to meet many of the learning outcomes from English Language Arts in BC and Alberta, as well as Grade One learning outcomes from BC’s Health and Career and Alberta’s Health and Lifeskills.

The Magic of Think was created after I met several children from The Make-A-Wish foundation who had made their “one wish” to meet all of us performing in an animated series. The cartoon in question meant the world to them. It was then that I realized the power that cartoons can have on a child's life. I wondered: “What if I used my years of experience and contacts to create characters, music, rhymes, stories and technology that helped kids develop courage so they could deal more effectively with bullying, self-doubt or a life-threatening illness?” The Magic of Think was born.

Kids need stories! Stories build imaginations, grow vocabularies, strengthen critical thinking skills. Stories stimulates development of neural pathways in the brain essential to the development of literacy and academic success.
Yet fewer and fewer parents tell stories to kids.
At the Parent-Child Mother Goose program, we know many parents need encouragement to feel confident telling stories. We help parents in communities throughout BC, in urban and rural areas, in immigrant communities, Aboriginal communities, special needs populations and mixed neighbourhood groupings to develop storytelling ability.
But to bring the gift of stories to families, Mother Goose teachers need ongoing training. They need to connect with other storytellers, to practice and grow their skills.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
For many new teachers, storytelling is the most challenging part of the Mother Goose program. Storytelling workshops to reinforce skills and expand repertoires are in high demand – but these can be expensive, and difficult for teachers in rural areas to attend.
To improve the quality of storytelling in the program in a cost-effective way that is easily accessible to all we will use online technology and the telephone to re-inspire teachers in this ancient art.
We will connect Mother Goose teachers to meet regularly with one another online to share stories and to practice storytelling techniques in safe and supportive groups of their peers.
As researchers Vrasidas and Glass (2004) remind us: Students learn best when they are actively engaged in meaningful activities; when they collaborate with peers, exchange ideas, and provide and receive peer feedback; when they reflect critically ... But we tend to forget that teachers learn best in these ways too.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Imagine: you are a new teacher in the Parent-Mother Goose program. You have taken a two-day training session, you have worked with and learned from experienced teachers. Now you are delivering the program. You love singing children’s songs and telling silly rhymes: they’re fun, everyone loves them. But you’re nervous about telling stories. What if you forget how it goes? What if you can’t keep the audience interested?
Practice Makes Perfect: that’s what your teachers told you, and you believe it. So when you see a notice in your Mother Goose enewsletter to join a Storytelling Club, you decide to do it.
You are pleased to see that you can choose webinar or teleconference. You register, at www.bccf.ca or by phone. In either small group, you’ll meet new and experienced other Mother Goose teachers, you will listen to stories, tell stories, encourage each other and laugh about it all. You will also be learning about ways of building the enjoyment of storytelling in our own program.
You’re shy, but you go ahead and try it, and you find it so much easier than you had thought. The tips from the other storytellers are so helpful, and the stories that others share are inspiring.
The Difference: Now parents and kids love your stories! Parents tell you that you inspired them to try telling stories at home to their children, and they’re amazed at the difference they see already in their children’s attention spans and language. You decide to keep connected with the Online Storytelling Club, and to encourage other new teachers to join.
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.
Parent-Child Mother Goose is unique in that it uses the oral interactive use of song, rhyme and story to help parents develop children’s language and literacy skills and support social interaction and connection. The benefits develop through the experiences in the program and through repeated used of song, rhyme and story at home.
Since the development of the Mother Goose program in the 1980’s, its influence has been widespread, and many aspects of the program are now accepted best practice within the fields of early childhood development, early learning, and literacy. Yet evidence shows that the strongest results for children are found when the program is delivered as initially designed: a ten-week program led by two trained teachers, leading parents in rhymes, songs, and stories.

Once upon a time, in a town not very far from here, a group of family program staff were learning how to lead a program for parents and young kids. A simple, fun program where kids and grownups sang songs, chanted rhymes, and told stories together. It was called the Parent-Child Mother Goose program, and it was proven to increase children’s academic success and support development of literacy.
They were all very happy that they would soon be able to lead Mother Goose groups in their communities. There was only one problem: they felt shy telling stories. So when they led the program, sometimes they left those out.
That’s when BC’s Mother Goose coordinator thought, “Aha! I could bring these teachers together to practice telling stories. It would help them, and it would sure help all the kids and families they teach. I know, I’ll ask BC Ideas!”
The End.
P.S. Please help kids enjoy stories happily ever after by supporting Mother Goose!
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
We are trying to enable program teachers in many and diverse communities to be able to assist the parents to tell stories to their children, because stories have profound effects on the developing literacy and life long learning capacity of young children.
‘Narrative ability is the single most important language ability for success in school.’ (Feagans & Appelbaum, 1986:359)
The goal of the Online Storytelling Club initiative is to support program teachers to continue to grow in their ability to engage both parents and young children with stories and to inspire those parents to become a storyteller for their own babies, young and growing-into-big children.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Programs like Mother Goose are instrumental in addressing the developmental needs of young children, and with more than 30% of BC’s children entering kindergarten not ready to learn (according HELP data), measures to strengthen the capacity of teachers are critical. Currently, up to 3000 BC children attend Mother Goose programs with a parent or caregiver each year.
Parental confidence and skill as well as adult language ability grows.
The Online Storytelling Club has not yet been introduced in BC. However, the feedback from the storytelling training workshops across BC has been very positive. Teachers tell us about their joy and amazement in realizing that they really can tell a story. We know that with the Storytelling Club, we can extend the benefits of storytelling workshops effectively to many more program teachers. And each of those teachers will reach many more children and parents, bringing the profoundly powerful learning effects of stories into countless families
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
The goal of the Online Storytelling Club initiative is to increase the number of trained Mother Goose teachers reporting that they feel confident in delivering stories to children and parents by 25% within five years. We project that the impact of that increase in storytelling ability among trained teachers will be a corresponding increase in storytelling at home by participating parents.
The effects of these increases in storytelling will impact levels of kindergarten readiness and future academic success among children participating in the program, however these changes will be difficult to track without longitudinal studies beyond the scope of BC Ideas funding.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Potential Barriers:
1. Mother Goose teachers may not hear about the group.
2. Some teachers lack computer access or expertise.
3. New Mother Goose teachers may be hesitant to participate.
Keys to Overcoming Barriers:
1. The group will be publicized through enewsletters sent regularly to all trained BC Mother Goose teachers, as well as at upcoming training sessions, and through our extensive networks of service providers throughout BC.
2. For participants who lack computer access or the necessary software to participate via webinar, conference calling can be arranged.
3. By ensuring that each group has a mix of experienced and new teachers, a comfortable and supportive atmosphere will help to make teachers feel the club is a safe place to practice their storytelling techniques.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
That young people are not provided the training and support to develop emotional literacy. Youth are growing up without the expertise in communication skills, peer interactions, emotional intelligence and the ability to express emotions in safe ways to safe others. This creates isolation and vulnerability in the youth of today. With the preponderance of the internet and increase in screen time, our youth are losing their ability to create interpersonal relationships and communicate with safe others.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
We have created a partnership with an Australian Agency "Quirky Kid Clinic" who has developed materials and programs to support the development of emotional literacy in children and youth. Our solution is to bring these materials and programs to the awareness of the North American community including practitioners, doctors, teachers, social workers and parents so that children, youth and their parents can benefit.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Richmond Addiction Services Society has facilitated the importation of the materials and are developing marketing, distribution and awareness raising opportunities but do not have the expertise nor the man power nor the funding to fully implement the Enterprising Non-Profit program. We need help and support to create more awareness and marketing for these products and programs so that the revenue goes back into the non-profit society and the funding of the Supporting Families Affected by Mental Health and Substance Use programs. This is a way to diversify our funding sources so we can become less dependent on waning government support and funding.
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 supportive partnerships in Richmond and many agencies have purchased some of the products however, we need to expand the area of advertising and distribution given the impact that these materials can have. Competitors are bookstores that focus on the distribution of similar materials and games. They are focused on profit and we believe in these products and believe this is a wonderful opportunity to create a innovative source of funding for our non-profit.

She brought me the idea and after convincing my Board of Directors which took about 1 year we signed a contract with Quirky Kid Clinic to invest in the resources and bring them to Richmond, BC. We have now been distributing the materials for almost one year but need help and support to do more!

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Richmond is growing and 57% of the population is made of up newcomers to Canada. With many languages, cultures and religions represented, there are issues with acceptance and discrimination. RMCS's Inclusive Communities Department has provided projects and services to create a more welcoming and inclusive community for the past 3+ years. Last year, the Rin3D Youth Troupe delivered anti-bullying and anti-discrimination workshops to over 1200 students and residents in Richmond. Teachers and school administrators' requests for workshops and presentations far outweigh our capacity and budget to deliver. It has been recognized that peer-to-peer role modeling and teaching is a powerful way to reach youth. This grant would provide the opportunity to reach up to 700 young people in Richmond.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Our solution is to provide Anti-bullying assemblies to large groups of students in Richmond Elementary and High Schools. The Richmond in 3D Project consists of a group of 22 volunteer youth who use an innovative improvisational theatre method to spark dialogue and create positive social change. The youth troupe members have been trained to deliver anti-bullying workshops and presentations. They role model for and teach other youth: how to support a target of bullying, how to develop empathy for others, how to be a compassionate listener and how to become a leader in their own school or youth community. The workshops are interactive and participatory. The youth who attend learn that they CAN have a voice and an impact in a bullying situation.
The feedback from youth, teachers and school administrators has been that this model of youth teaching other youth is extremely impactful and is a powerful method of delivering a message of inclusion and standing up against discrimination.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
This solution involves facilitating large anti-bullying assemblies in schools of up to 300 students at a time. The Richmond in 3D Youth Troupe are all volunteer youth who have dedicated many hours to training, rehearsing and presenting. They represent a wide cross-section of ages, cultures, languages spoken, religions and interests. We have found that the Youth Troupe connect with other youth in ways that adults cannot. By having the courage to present in front of other youth, they are inspiring role models.
The immediate difference and positive impact that has been noted after a Rin3D presentation is that youth participants have concrete skills to deal with a bullying or discriminatory situation. Many youth have expressed that they feel empathy for a target of bullying or discrimination but just didn't know what to do. They indicate on evaluations that after attending our workshop, they know how they can support a target, how to get help from adults when necessary and how to stand up and have a voice. The workshops are interactive and the participants get to actually practice their newly learned skills so that they are more prepared for real-life situations.
A longer term impact is that our Rin3D Youth troupe are role modeling leadership skills. Students and youth who participate in workshops are encouraged to create action plans on how they can create a more welcoming and inclusive school. They are provided with tools that assist with starting their own initiatives. This "ripple" effect leaves a legacy long after one of our workshops or presentations.
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.
Canadian Red Cross offers anti-bullying workshops.
North Shore Community Services offers diversity and anti-discrimination workshops.
Citizen U offers anti-bullying workshops.
YMCA offers anti-bullying workshops.
What sets Richmond in 3D apart from the above mentioned projects and organizations is that our workshops are led by youth. Our Youth Troupe members are powerful role models and leaders who inspire and encourage other youth to take a stand against bullying and discrimination. Youth peer-to-peer teaching and utilizing interactive theatre provides a unique opportunity for youth attendees to learn/practice new skills, challenge their biases, and receive hands-on learning. We go beyond just a workshop or a presentation and encourage others to start their own initiatives.

Richmond in 3D (Diversity, Drama, Dialogue) has been in existence for 3 years. We started with an adult theatre troupe who provided workshops and presentations about diversity and inclusiveness. While planning for a sustainable future, we started to recruit new troupe members. Youth were the ones who were most interested in received the training in this interactive theatre technique. The Rin3D Youth Troupe was born!
We realized the powerful impact that youth can have on other youth after the very first workshop they did!
Adults can effectively teach youth many things, but the power of youth teaching other youth about empathy, compassion, listening and communication has been demonstrated over and over again as we continued to do this work.
In the schools where we have done workshops or presentations, students in those schools have created Peace Clubs, Multicultural Clubs, Anti-bullying initiatives and other projects that have further promoted creating a more inclusive school.
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
We are trying to achieve the following:
1) Giving youth concrete tools and skills to combat bullying and discrimination
2) Role model how youth can become leaders and have a voice
3) Inspire students to take action in their own school to combat bullying and discrimination
4)Assist young people to challenge their biases and become more empathic towards others
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
To date, our project has reached over 2000 youth and residents of Richmond. In the past year, our Rin3D Youth Troupe have delivered workshops to over 1200 people, mostly youth!
At the end of each workshops, we collect evaluation feedback from participants. Overwhelmingly, the feedback indicated that youth have learned positive, concrete skills to stand up against bullying and discrimination and that they feel motivated to change their own behaviour or to create an initiative in their own school or youth community.
Teachers and school administrators have indicated that they have seen a difference in the school climate as a result of our workshops and presentations. These same teachers and administrators have asked us to keep coming back to do more workshops. We cannot meet the demand!
The Rin3D project is designed to meet the needs of and appeal to youth, create safe spaces for youth to engage in dialogue and to provide real life examples that are applicable to youth.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
Our projected impact over the next five years is to continue to change school culture around bullying and discrimination by providing workshops and presentations. We would also like to inspire the continued start-up of other initiatives that address bullying and discrimination. We want youth to take a leadership role in their school or community, to take ownership of their convictions and to create positive social change.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
The barriers that might hinder the success of our project are continued teacher's job action. Because of our strong connections and relationships with teachers and school administrators we were able to continue our work last year in spite of job action.
Continued funding is an on-going issue. At present, the project is fully funded until December 2012, partially funded until December 2013 with various grant applications pending. We will continue to seek out sources of funding.
As our youth troupe members get older and graduate from high school, we will need to continue to recruit new members. often, it is difficult to get a long-term commitment from young people who are busy with school and other activities.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
In our community and surrounding area there are many children,youth and adults that have a learning disability.Putting A Canadian Face on Learning Disabilities(PACFOLD-2007)shows that all Canadians with learning disabilties are at a disadvantage,those undiagnosed,untreated and/or not accommodated members in our communities with learning disabilities are unable to reach their potential,resulting in higher cost to families,local communities and the province.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Our services include workshops,news letters,tutoring,advocacy and support.Our association's mandate is to provide a better understanding of learning disabilities by offering updated information and research. This information is available to all residents in the Okanagan Valley as well as other areas in the province.We have worked hard to establish solutions in conjunction with our community partners:Okanagan College,employment agencies, Literacy Junction,local school districts and individuals.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
To assist children with learning disabilities we offer an after school and summer tutoring program with 1/1 assistance by qualified Special Education Teachers. These children no longer receive this support in the school system and are struggling to reach their potential.
We reach out to the community through workshops. For example, evening workshops have been successfully offered once a month focussing on "Families Strategies to Support the Child with LD/ADHD."
We address the issues faced by youth and adults with learning difficulties by partnering with Okanagan College and the Employ Program. Assessments are given to clients in the program followed up by personal interviews to discuss the possibilities of further training. Our hope is to encourage them to complete their education and improve their employment opportunities.
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.
Our competitors/partners include the Literacy Junction,Employ Program,private tutoring services and Okanagan College.We all address different aspects when helping individuals reach their goals.
Specifically, our our programs include:early intervention,accommodations/strategies for adults in the workplace,counselling/support as well as advocacy to parents and grandparents regarding the impact of learning disabiites on a person's life.
Our peers and competitors address some of the same issues as our association. What sets us apart is that we address the needs of a wider range of individuals from childhood to adulthood.
Our members have a better understanding of working with individuals that have a learning disability.

Lloyd Mitchell, the founder saw a defintie need to support children with leraning disabilites in our area. Along with a local pediatrician and severl dedicated parents established the chapter. it has since grown to meet the needs of all ages.We may not be changing the world but we are certainly improving the lives of individuals with learning disabilites more successful.
To quote one parent in our tutoring program.."My husband and I had tears in our eyes when our son read his first book to us".
To quote the Employment Program manager " We use the services of the Vernon Learning Disabilties Association to help us determine that we are not setting the client up for failure....and when there are concerns, collaberate to mitigate any possible issues."
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
Our initiative is to continue to provide support in the same manner as we have been.We want to update research materials, provide qualified presenters on timely topics to the community and to expand our community partnerships.
LDA's mandate is to ensure that our services continue and are accessible to all.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
We have increased our number of clients and members.With individualized tutoring our students are more successful in the classroom setting.Parents have a better understanding of learning disabilites and now advocate for their children. Youth and adults are now informed and feel more confident about themselves.
Our success rate with individuals "spreads the word" on our association in the community.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
Our projected impact over the next five years is to continue to dispell the stigma attached to those with learning disabilties. The community at large does not understand the full impact on the lives of those left undiagnosed and untreated.
Research indicates that the long term community benefits include the lowering of:
- high school dropouts
- substance abuse
- mental health issues
- employment opportunites
- improving self esteem
- work performance
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
The barriers hindering our success are aquiring appropriate funding, maintaing qualified people involved in our project. We need to encourage younger people to become involved in our association.
We do hold yearly fund raisers to offset operating costs and apply for government grants.
A mentoring program is being set up to encourage younger people to become involved in the tutoring program.

The number of children with Sensory Processing Disorder on wait lists to see Occupational Therapists is on the rise. Sometimes waiting 12-18 months for service, due to limited contract hours.
In the school system children with differences, like Sensory Processing Disorder", who do not qualify for supports is on the rise. These "grey area children" often then pull resources away from other needy children due to their behavior challenges and difficulty learning.
We would engage our communities of Nelson and surrounding areas, Salmo, Kaslo, Trail, Rossland and Castlegar, a combined population of roughly 50,000. Specifically we would target parents, students, early childhood educators, community organizations, and other professionals or individuals that would benefit from program.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Every person learns and interacts with their environment through their senses. Often children are unable to use that information to successfully navigate in their environment or learn the skills of life.
The solution to provide educational groups informing the targeted stakeholders about developing the sensory system (ex. parents with babies, public health nurses, childcare providers, etc.), teaching them about sensory challenged children, how to identify them early, and how it affects their behavior, interactions and learning. We would directly work with parents who have children with sensory challenges educating them and teaching them about tools and strategies to assist with their child’s life long challenge with sensory differences.
We would also provide education and support for implementation of a program that teaches parents, caregivers, children and others how develop self-regulation, which is integral to life- long learning. This program is also used in the schools.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
A child is born to new parents. They notice that he doesn't like to be held and cries when people talk. The parents try various strategies that they hear from friends and family with little success. Eventually the parents see a public health nurse, who recently attended a "Sensory Education Group", upon hearing about the difficulties screened the child and suggested the parents see an Occupational Therapist(OT) about sensory processing disorder. This child is put onto the OT's wait list of 22 children. This means the parents will have to wait 12-18 months for help which can impact child and parent health, parent attachment to their new child and thus affect the family long term. While on the wait list the parents are offered a "Parent education group about sensory processing" - this group creates community connections, educates parents and provides them with practical strategies to use at home. Follow-up groups are provided to help parents problem solve. The parents feel their skills and knowledge are enough that they no longer need to be on the OT wait list.
As the child enters a childcare centre whom attended a “How Does Your Engine Run Program” he and his family are taught about his arousal levels that affect self-regulation and thus learning. The family uses this program consistently at home in combination with the previously learned sensory strategies with great success. As this child moves into kindergarten he continues the same program to learn how to identify his arousal level and what tools to use to bring it to the "just right" state for learning.
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.
Other agencies, programs etc. occasionally bring speakers to our communities to talk about self-regulation and sensory processing although there is never the consistent, long-term and hands on support that we would be providing to all stakeholers.
There are private Occupational Therapists who work in the community and can provide this education but the cost is prohibitive to parents.

When working in the school district it was noted that a large number of kids with challenges could not get support. Many of these children seemed to have sensory challenges that could have been targeted when they were young, by having stakeholders educated about sensory processing and taught about strategies and tools to help these children succeed.
Simultaneously I was working with children aged 0-6, I knew that many of these children were not getting support or were getting delayed support because of the long wait lists which are contributed by increased referrals and limited contract hours. These children were then entering the school system without enough supports. Our aha was to provide our communities with the knowledge and tools to support these children from birth and up so as to alleviate both the Occupational Therapy wait lists (of which is mostly sensory processing referrals) and to alleviate the school system by working together to provide the same regulation program.
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
We are trying to provide stakeholders (parents, childcare workers, etc.) in our communities with the knowledge, strategies and tools to help children with sensory differences succeed from birth through their school career, thereby decreasing the burden on the early intervention programs and school system over the long term.
We want to decrease the wait list for Occupational Therapy in our communities by:
+ providing educational groups and support for our largest referral group, those children with potential sensory processing difficulties,
+ educating and supporting child care providers and parents with the self-regulation program "How does your engine run"
+ providing educational groups to other stakeholders in the community to increase awareness for earlier identification
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
We ran one parent education group so far within the confines of the contract hours and the feedback was very positive from the parents who attended. They left with not only a better understanding of who their child was and what was contributing to the difficult behaviors they observed but with tangible strategies and ideas of tools to use for their child to help them succeed. These parents also felt more connected to their community by meeting other parents with similar challenges that they were able to problem solve with and share success and resources with.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
We see a decrease in the number of referrals to Occupational Therapy for children with sensory processing difficulties because the communities are equipped with knowledge and tools such as the program "How Does Your Engine Run". These decrease referrals for early intervention will thus decrease the burden on the school system allowing the limited resources that are available be used on the children with most need.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Monies will hinder the implementation and long term running of the groups and supports for the stakeholders in our communities. This will be overcome by continued searching of funders to support the project along with continued request to the government for increased contract hours to better served these children.

Two different not-for profit societies are joining up to tackle their Occupational therapy wait list difficulties. The two OTs would work together to present the community groups and educational programs. The OTs would work in collaboration with the day cares and preschools to implement and support the programs. A partnership would also be made with the school districts to ensure the self-regulation program is being implemented in the same manner to ensure consistency between the two.
Other groups such as the childcare resource and referral along with success by six will be partnered with.

It is widely acknowledged that teen mothers and their children represent two generations at risk! Pregnant and parenting teen moms statistically experience more health problems, including addictions, mental illness, obstetric risks, low breast feeding, preterm births, depressions, additional unplanned pregnancies, early child hood injury, child abuse/neglect, fetal alcohol syndrome and developmental delays.
Teen mothers are at risk of being victims of domestic and sexual violence, not completing their education which often results in poor employment prospects, homelessness, long term poverty and dependence on social safety nets. The regional district of Bulkley Nechako has a high rate of teen pregnancies, limited resources, no safe social housing for this population.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Supportive housing for young moms is strongly preventative. It is widely acknowledged that young moms and their children represent two generations at risk. Strategies aimed at meeting basic living needs such as safe shelter, nutrition, strengthening life skills, and access too early and regular prenatal care can help young moms and their families thrive. It allows young women to learn life skills to make decisions and to assume normal tenant responsibilities while being able to benefit from individualized support services that intend to improve long-term outcomes for mother and child. These outcomes include job attainment and retention, academic completion, improved maternal capacity, positive relationship building, and healthy choices in pregnancy and healthy child development.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Our organization wants to positively impact the lives of pregnant and parenting young women! The development of Herway House Supportive Housing is to provide low-income pregnant and parenting young women ages 16-21 and their dependent children with safe shelter and coordinated support services. The support services will provide the opportunity to have access to health services, social support services, education; culturally relevant connections and give much need time for mom and baby to bond. With these provisions, the Northern Society for Domestic Peace hopes to enable women and their children to create the life they want and need in order to thrive. Herway House will have a profound impact on young moms and contribute to healthier, happier lives for their children and subsequent generations.
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.
Other social service and health services in the community currently provide support on an individual and often reactionary basis. There is no supportive housing for young moms. Non profit agencys in the community agree that pregnant and parenting young women need coordinated support. Agencies that currently provide support services to pregnant & parenting moms include the following agencies. All of the services are willing to coordinate around a supportive housing model of service delivery.

Over the past 6 years our transition house program began working with young women in care of the Ministry who were in need of respite. Each year we would have young pregnant or parently young women stay at the shelter and gained first hand experience of their struggles, strengths and got a sense of the enormous responsibility they faced often alone. WHile the shelter was a good temporary fix it wasnt nearly enough. They needed on going support, a sense of family, sense of security and community belonging, information, parenting skills, and they need time to be young women.

Our objective is to reduce generational abuse and poverty by breaking the cycle of instability. By decreasing the reliance on income assistance; and by positively influencing the state of health and quality of life of young families in our community by offering stable housing with supportive services, we will provide young women with the skills and knowledge necessary to become more effective parents to lead independent lives, and to create a positive sense of belonging in our community.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
The biggest impact to date of our solution has been the realization that our community services are willing to work together to ensure positive outcomes for at risk young families. The level of isolation we often feel.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
The community and society as a whole benefits over time as the adolescents and their children involved in the supportive housing initiative will:
• Be less cost to the health care system because of fewer obstetrical risks, decreased rate of depression, decreased rate of childhood injuries and an overall increase in wellness (emotional, physical and mental) of both mother and child(ren)
• Have an increased sense of belonging and safety in the neighbourhood
• Decrease homelessness
• Decrease all forms of abuse
• Decrease reliance on child welfare, probation and other children’s and adolescent services
Provision of effective multi-agency partnerships within the community.

There is a need for high quality, timely, and coordinated rehabilitation services for children and adults with neurological challenges.
Children often come to us with diagnosis such as cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delay. Adults who come to us have diagnosis such as stoke, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
Both groups can receive therapy from the public system, but over the years this has significantly decreased due to budget constraints. On the other hand, medical advances means that we are saving more people who have neurological challenges such as stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. The quality of life for those with these disabilities requires a therapy team that can be consulted on an ongoing basis.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
We are a one stop therapy shop for children and adults with neurological challenges.
Abilities provides physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology as well as orthotist services in three clinic locations within the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford, Surrey and Chilliwack).
This allows families to ease their burden of finding multiple therapies and allows our team a way to address complex neurological challenges in an effective way. We are client directed in our therapy and our mission is to help the clients we serve "get the ABILITIES they need to get the most out of life!"
we work with the existing public team of health professionals to maximize our client's independence and well-being. We do that though intensive and weekly therapy sessions held in our clinic, at home, or in the community.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
A family of a child with cerebral palsy may have a goal to have their child learn to use the toilet. The speech pathologist will work on communication strategies to help the child express they need to use the washroom. the occupational therapist will work on a toileting schedule and program that works with the child and family's needs. The physiotherapist will work on the child's mobility so that they can independently get on and off the toilet. The orthotist will make a foot brace so that the child can keep their heels on the ground, which makes walking much easier. Together they work as a team to increase the child's independence.
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.
Our peers include therapists who are working in the public system, in child development centers, hospitals, and in community programs. The main difference is the availability of our therapists, because we are not dictated by public budgets we can expand or contract our workforce to match the needs of our clients.
There are other private practitioners, however we are the only private multidisciplinary clinic for children and adults with neurological challenges in BC.

Clinic Director and Owner Heather Branscombe is a physiotherapist with over 15 years experience in both the public and private sector. As a mom of three (with one child with cerebral palsy), Heather has a unique perspective and passion that drove her to open the first clinic in October of 2007. She could see the need for increased access to high quality and evidenced based rehabilitation services delivered within the context of a team.
As a consulatnt to the school district, Heather could finally see the lack of co-ordinated therapy services as her son entered kindergarten.
Heather could see the role of having a team of therapists like one can get in a child development centre or hospital in a longer term setting.
Armed with the business plan from her MBA, which she had created to start a program within her public practice job, Heather started Abilities as a sole operation in October of 2007.

We are trying to achieve a local and central hub of private therapy options for children and adults with neurological challenges.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
To date we have grown from a single practitioner in one location to 3 locations with a staff of over 20 (including therapists, assistants, and administration support).
We currently provide over 700 hours of therapy sessions a month and we are increasing that number on a monthly basis.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
Over the next five years, we plan to expand within our current locations so we have at least 2 therapists of each discipline in each location, as well as expansion to other locations as the need arises. We will continue to expand the number of people we serve and the amount of therapy hours delivered each month.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
The primary barriers to our solution is to find high quality therapists as well as to spread our message that there is an alternative.
We hire high quality therapists through our system to recruit and retain therapists who match our core values. This includes our hiring process, our orientation, our education and mentoring program for therapists and our retention program for high achieving therapists.
We are working on our marketing through a consistent presence on Facebook,Twitter, as well as networking with local health care practitioners. We also are working towards having a high web presence so that our website will come up when clients or families are looking for a solution that we can provide.
