Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are using the Internet to encourage democracy and voting:
“Millions of people got excited about how the net could be used to help the political process during the last election,” says Steve Clift of the United States presidential campaign, “but if people only focus on the national level, it will become one big partisan grinder!”
Clift has taken the far-reaching powers of the Internet to act locally. He is the founder of e-democracy, an organization dedicated to using the Internet to strengthen our democracy from the ground up.

Interacting with elected leaders is crucial in a democracy. Yet, it takes too much time and too much money for everyday people to be heard. We're changing the game by taking the work out of being an engaged citizen. With our technology, we make civic engagement easier and more effective than ever.

A strong democracy cannot survive in a networked society without informed, engaged citizens who are connected to their elected leaders. Today, there is no interactive digital link between citizens and their representatives. As such, there can be no true accountability for leaders to respond to constituents between elections. Our unique technology enables a person to provide their home address and get linked to each of his/her federal, state, and local elected leaders.

American Civix Technologies: Project Engage
Pilih tahap yang paling sesuai untuk solusi Anda:
Permulaan (eksperimen pertama baru saja beroperasi)
What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
A strong democracy cannot survive in a networked society without informed, engaged citizens who are connected to their elected leaders. Today, there is no interactive digital link between citizens and their representatives. As such, there can be no true accountability for leaders to respond to constituents between elections. Our unique technology enables a person to provide their home address and get linked to each of his/her federal, state, and local elected leaders. This linkage and our platform allow for polling, messaging, contact information, and new types of interactive activism including one-touch micro-petitions. Open constituent reports help leaders, citizens, groups, and the media understand the voice of the people for a more accountable and responsive representative democracy.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) Deploy our technology to the general public, specifically starting with New Jersey citizens, New Jersey-area government leaders and civil society organization leaders.
2) Secure funding to support marketing, technology development, and support staff
3) Secure Marketing & Sales Leader to execute marketing strategy and related sales strategy
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
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're technologists, not marketing experts. We have a simple solution to a complex problem that many people don't even realize they have, but our solution is hard to explain. Most Americans don't know who their elected leaders are, let alone contact them, but they think that all of their venting online and offline "counts" for something. With the rare viral post (and subsequent media attention), it doesn't. At least, it doesn't count without a direct link to their leaders and a corresponding way by which leaders can understand their constituents. Our opportunity to strengthen our democracy with our unique technology is enormous, but without a way to communicate what it is that we do and offer, we will continue to face an uphill battle in making a successful value proposition to both leaders and citizens. We know that our system is needed with this question: "Can you imagine a 21st century democracy without every citizen being directly connected to and heard by their leaders?" We also know we're different than anything that exists today. With help from American Express, we can drastically improve our ability to successfully communicate our message clearly to leaders and the public.
2.
Honest, candid, and constructive communication style
3.
Genuine interest and passion for doing the right thing
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 our flagship software-as-a-service (SaaS) known as Project Engage. As it is our only service so far, it will be the only area for which we will be seeking support. However, Project Engage is a representative project for the type of work that we seek to accomplish over the long-term at American Civix Technologies. Therefore, any contributions American Express makes to our organization will hold impact in broader terms than just this initial project. Since our technology aids civil society organizations, the support will have a watershed effect.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have not focused on Branding & Messaging Strategy before as we have not been able to find volunteers who have the expertise we're looking for. We have a team of 26 volunteers that help with a variety of tasks and efforts as we secure the funding we need for full-time staff. One of our top priorities is securing a Marketing & Sales leader for our effort who can help with this work and, notably, the execution of this strategy. We have not worked with outside consultants as part of any official effort before although we do have a couple of consultants on our board of directors.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Yes
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Yes
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Yes
1.
Increased connection and exchange of information between citizens and elected leaders
2.
Increase accountability and transparency in government
3.
Strengthen democratic participation and availability of civic resources to the everyday citizen
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
After raising $19,000 in online donations, we have built a prototype. We have not deployed our solution yet, so we do not have any official quantitative measures. However, the initial qualitative response on our prototype is promising. 100% of our users can now name their elected leaders. They are amazed to learn of the several leaders that represent them and the easy ability to access information about them (contact, lobbyist influence, historical votes, etc.). They all can have their voice heard with as little as as a tap of a finger and be directly connected with leaders in their non-political organizations as well. Most complain of the inability to break through the noise of Facebook, Twitter, and E-mail and see the value in having a direct communications channel with their leaders.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
With support from American Express, we could conceivably enable millions of under-represented Americans to be engaged, informed, and heard in ways that impact their elected leaders. We could deliver the next generation of civic engagement in America that could stabilize, strengthen, and power our democracy, systemically transforming the way everyday people are involved. People-powered social change would not be limited to 20th-century methods or those with a ton of money or time, but would be accessible and used by millions who want to be heard by their leaders. Unprecedented accountability and transparency in open democratic processes could usher in a refreshed era of trust and confidence in an accountable and responsive government that is powered by the people to act on society's needs.

LoveGov's mission is to facilitate democracy. We believe in non-partisanship, government transparency and the right to personal privacy.
LoveGov is a non-partisan platform that is simplifying politics by creating a central place for politics online. We are making it easy to stay informed and get involved. On LoveGov citizens can learn about the issues, express their views, connect with like-minded people and then take collective action.
How it could be different is a website where one can easily see, vote on, comment on, share, and suggest current, innovative ideas in different categories. The site can be thought of as a "Wikipedia for ideas" or a "democratic TED." By collecting ideas in one place and explaining them in an abridged way, How it could be different is able to:
• make it easy to learn about and spread ideas to improve issues, programs, products, and policy
• cause inspiration in thinking about how the world could be different
• determine which ideas and innovations people most support
So, with our idea, which we have been able to take from a conceptualization to a beta-phase web site in three years, we want to bring democracy, transparency and justice right into anyone´s reach.
We do strongly believe that nowadays is possible allowing people to decide what kind of society they want to live in, a place where we can decide what are the laws that we want and which do not, as oppossed to being just mighty´s checkerboard pawns.
Real justice must be a right available at anyone, not pending on anything.
DWtO will establish a student-created online video-library website celebrating the social history of Can. political women, that engages youth politically and combats voter apathy. Each piece (3 minute max.) will tell the story of one woman from Canada's past told in whatever storytelling medium they choose that is uploadable online.
The goals of the initiative are to…
• Develop a fun, creative way for students to learn about our political past, and engage in political thinking and action.
• Provide content that speaks peer-to-peer.

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

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

Access, Quality.
The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
• Need: Many newcomers who are preparing to write the ‘real’ Citizenship test have difficulty locating the specific information they need. The Online Citizenship Practice Test gives them an easy way to find all the information they need in one place.
• Size: 199,141 (BC Stats, Ministry of Labour and Citizens’ Services, September 2011) http://www.richmond.ca/__shared/assets/Population_Hot_Facts6248.pdf
• Characteristics of Community: Richmond is a dynamic, multi-ethnic community. Much of the recent population growth has been made up of Asian immigrants. People of Chinese or South Asian ancestry represent more than 60% of Richmond residents. Newcomers have contributed significantly to the diversity and vibrancy of the City of Richmond. http://www.richmond.ca/discover/about/profile.htm.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
• The Online Citizenship Practice Test, which is based on information from the book Discover Canada, consists of over 100 multiple choice questions similar to the “real” test, including some that are Richmond-based and province (B.C.) based.
• People can choose the number of questions they want to be asked and once they finish, their score and the correct answers are displayed. The test is fun, too. Perfect scores are rewarded with an audio clip of the Canadian National Anthem and flipping beavers waving Canadian flags.
• There is also a link to a Richmond-specific preparation booklet and appendix for questions and answers, plus a link to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.
• Earlier this year we introduced a mobile version of the Online Citizenship Practice Test for anyone with a smartphones or tablet.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
• How our solution makes a difference:
o It is a national resource used by people from all across the country and provides relevant and specific information for new immigrants
o Geared to local information on government and population needed to obtain Canadian citizenship
o Helps newcomers practice for their upcoming Citizenship Test by becoming familiar with the questions
o It is available in both of Canada’s official languages and is available 24/7 online, with a mobile version for smartphones and tablets
o It is the most heavily used page on the library’s website, indicating its enormous popularity
o It is supplemented by the library’s web page which has links to organizations, services, ESL resources and useful websites for new Canadians (http://www.yourlibrary.ca/newcomers/)
o In 2011 the Online Citizenship Practice Test had 6,135,852 page views.
• Primary activities involved in our solution:
o Regular updating of local, provincial and federal government information.
o When contacted by Ottawa Public Library in 2005 with an offer to translate our Canadian Citizenship Practice Test into French, we agreed. They did both the initial translation and they continue to maintain it with up-to-date information relevant to Ottawa and Ontario. In preparation for this, our staff completely rewrote the computer application to easily support two or more languages and local questions, so that people using their site would see those questions, rather than BC and Richmond specific ones.
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.
• Peers & competitors:
o Other public libraries in Metro Vancouver
o Settlement agencies
o Community and Cultural Centres
o Continuing education centres
o Social service agencies
o Colleges and Universities
• What sets us apart:
o The Online Canadian Citizenship Practice Test was originally unique to British Columbia but clearly has potential for broader application. Adaptation of this technology to specific communities throughout North America would allow organizations to tailor their services to the needs of their customers. Our Online Canadian Citizenship Practice Test is recognized as a model regionally as well as nationally and internationally.

o Recognizing that many new Canadians are in the process of applying for Canadian Citizenship and encountering frustration while preparing for the test, our organization created this innovative tool and geared it to our local residents’ specific requirements. The Online Canadian Citizenship Practice Test helps meet the needs of local residents in practical, relevant ways.
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
o To help new immigrants prepare for and write the “real” Canadian Citizenship test.
o To increase the usefulness of the Online Canadian Citizenship Practice Test by offering it in both official languages, and to have it support locale-specific questions, such as those about municipal and provincial governments.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
• Quantity of our impact:
o It is a national resource used by people from across the country and provides relevant, specific information for new immigrants.
o It is the most heavily used page on the library’s website.
o In 2011 the Online Citizenship Practice Test had 6,135,852 page views.
• Quality of our impact:
o Helps newcomers practice for the ‘real’ Citizenship Test by becoming familiar with the questions
o Since people everywhere can access this before coming to Canada, it has global impact.
o Helps countless new immigrants successfully write and pass their Canadian Citizenship test.
o It is available in both official languages.
o Supplemented by the library’s web page which has links to organizations, services, ESL resources and useful websites for new Canadians (http://www.yourlibrary.ca/newcomers/).
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
o As more new immigrants use the Online Citizenship Practice Test, more of them will successfully pass the actual Canadian Citizenship test.
o Increased awareness and knowledge of Canadian history, government and politics by new Canadians.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
o Barriers:
New immigrants in the community who don’t have access to a computer at home would not be able to use the Online Citizenship Practice Test
o How we plan to overcome barriers:
There is free access to computers at the library seven days a week and evenings, so new immigrants could use the Online Citizenship Practice Test
Earlier this year we introduced a mobile version of the Online Citizenship Practice Test for anyone who has a smartphones or tablet.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
To meet their needs and thrive, communities need a political system that is smart and responsive. Yet BC's political system suffers from deficits in three key areas:
1) Representation
It can sometimes be hard for the voices of ordinary residents to reach their elected representatives.
2) Deliberation
There are few supports in place to encourage the deep political deliberation needed to tackle our communities' increasing complex problems.
3) Participation
Citizens are becoming disengaged from traditional political structures.
All this can lead to sub-optimal outcomes for BC communities and society as a whole. We can do better!
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
To improve outcomes for communities by making Citizens' Assemblies (CAs) an integral part of how we do politics in BC.
To do that, we will create a non-profit dedicated to organizing CAs in communities across BC.
A CA is a randomly selected group of citizens that:
- is given objective information on a topic
- a chance to deliberate, and
- a chance to make recommendations
Here is how CAs can make a positive impact on our politics:
1) They can give ordinary residents a louder political voice, and open up whole new channel of communication between society and its elected representatives (Representation).
2) They can help create good public policy, by providing government with well-informed, well-reasoned advice on key public policy issues (Deliberation).
3) They can give citizens the kind of meaningful political engagement they crave (CAs have been shown to make participants want to get more involved in their communities and to enhance trust in government).
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The citizens' assembly model has been successfully tested around the world. What has been lacking is an effective mechanism for making CAs a regular and permanent feature of a political system. Deeper Democracy, the non-partisan non-profit we will create, will provide the organizational platform to do just that.
Here's how it will work:
- Residents go to our website to indicate interest in holding a CA in their community.
- Once a threshold is reached, we set up an initial community meeting to which all members of the community are invited. There, residents choose the topic for the assembly (this could be anything from improving public transportation, to making housing more affordable, to improving social services. The topic could address local, regional, or national concerns).
- Deeper Democracy then invites a representative, random sample of 100 residents to participate in the assembly. (A professional polling firm will identify the sample).
- At the assembly, participants receive objective information from experts on both sides of the issue, and engage in facilitated deliberation.
- Lastly, participants draw up recommendations, which are put to a vote. If they pass, they are presented to the appropriate government, which is urged to take action. Deeper Democracy then works to make all British Columbians aware of the assembly’s recommendations and to hold governments accountable for implementing them.
Each assembly will take 3-5 days to complete. Eventually, 10-15 CAs, and an annual meeting, will be held in communities around BC each year.
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.
Wise Democracy Victoria is a Victoria-based non-profit aimed at promoting participatory democracy in BC. Their model calls for an assembly (wisdom council) of 10-12 residents to discuss a topic of their choosing and to issue a consensus statement, which is presented to the relevant entity.
We believe that the small size of those assemblies, their short duration (1 day) and lack of support from subject-matter experts, makes it hard for them to attract the attention of the public, the media and politicians, significantly undermining their impact. The last wisdom council took place in 2008.
To our knowledge, we are the only organization in Canada, and parhaps the world, attempting to institutionalize large-scale citizens' assemblies.
We view Wise Democracy as an important partner.

Well, it was more like an "ahhhhaaaaaaaaaaa........." in that it was an evolution in thinking rather than a sudden realization. Since the time I had witnessed the collapse of communism and a transition to democracy in Poland, as a first grader, I have been keenly aware of the difference that political systems can make in people's lives. My interest in democratic theory grew at university, where I completed an MA in political science. The final "aha" came last fall, when the Occupy movement captured the world's attention, and my imagination. Although I loved the movement's energy, I realized that it lacked a realistic strategy for positive change (camping out in parks and city squares wasn't gonna do it!). That got me thinking: what COULD we actually do to make our politics more inclusive and responsive to people's needs? I remembered the successful, 2004 BC CA on Electoral Reform and was surprised that no one had thought of making such assemblies a regular occurrence. Aha!
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
The ultimate goal of the initiative is to create a stronger, more vibrant democracy to better serve the people of BC and their communities.
This goal can be broken down into three parts:
First, the goal is to give ordinary British Columbians more influence on the decisions that affect them and their communities. (This fits really well with governments' increasing desire to find ways of meaningfully engaging their citizens).
Secondly, it is to improve the quality of public policy by placing informed and thorough deliberation at the basis of policy development.
Lastly, it is to use the CAs to develop better citizens -- citizens who will be more engaged in their communities, and more knowledgeable about politics and the difficult decisions and tradeoffs they often involve.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Our proposal has not yet been implemented. Historically though, CAs have been held in:
- BC (2004)
- Ontario (2007)
- The Netherlands (2006)
- Iceland (2009, 2010)
- Ireland (2011)
Of the above, two CAs were of special significance. The BC CA on Electoral Reform, which became the model for the the rest of the world, and the Irish CA, which was designed by political scientists to test the value of including citizens more directly in democratic decision-making. The latter confirmed that ordinary citizens can make informed decisions on complex topics if given balanced information and a chance to deliberate. It also showed that CA participants:
- Became more willing to discuss and get involved in politics.
- Felt more positive about the ability of ordinary people to influence politics.
However, all the CAs so far have been one-offs. Deeper Democracy is the first to attempt to make them an integral and permanent part of our democracy. The impact could be transformative.
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
In 5 years, we expect to be well on the way to transforming how British Columbians see, and what they expect from, their democracy.
This will involve holding 20 CAs in communities around BC, and successfully lobbying governments to implement at least 75% of the recommendations of those CAs.
I (Simon) do performance management for a living, so I'm aware of the need to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve. We will measure (quantitatively and qualitatively):
- BC residents' awareness of, and attitudes towards, CAs.
- Attitudes of CA participants towards politics and community engagement, as well as their levels of actual civic engagement (both pre and post-CA).
- Social impacts of the recommendations that were adopted by governments.
- Other key indicators.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
Costs
Key costs will be related to: venue rental, obtaining a random sample of residents, sending out invitations, producing background materials for participants, covering travel and other expenses of subject-matter experts, facilitators, and staff/volunteers/board members, and (eventually) covering staff salaries.
We expect to minimize these costs through strong partnerships (with local governments, community groups, NGOs, businesses and individuals. The rest will come from fundraising. (See "Sustainability" tab for more).
Getting government to listen
The CAs' ability to influence government will depend on their perceived legitimacy. If British Columbians see them as representing their interests and voices it will be hard for governments to ignore their recommendations.

No! We are devoting all our attention to BC communities! (at this time)
What type of operating environment and internal organizational factors make your innovation successful?
1) The Need
People, and especially young people, are hungry for meaningful political involvement. The current environment gives them few good options, and that is the gap we're trying to fill and the key to our future success.
2) Impartiality
The decision to establish a non-partisan organization (one that will be perceived as an unbiased conduit for public voices, rather than as a special-interest group) will be key to our perceived legitimacy and success. We will work hard to maintain our impartiality.
3) Collaboration
Collaboration and partnerships will be key.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Professors David Laycock, Janni Aragon, Mark Warren, Ken Carty and Ms. Irene Huse for their invaluable comments on this proposal. Any errors of fact or logic are my own.
Please elaborate on any needs or offers you have mentioned above and/or suggest categories of support that aren't specified within the list

The purpose of our site is to engage the province at municipal and provincial levels through polls and debate in order to increase voter turnout.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Our solution is simple. Get people to register based on location. No names, only postal codes. Using geographical data we can give citizens a voice by polling questions and posting feedback locally and provincially. Part of the site will be devoted to educating about the roles of different parts of our government.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
We want to empower people with knowledge about their government and current issues.
If someone from Kitimat is interested in the proposed pipeline, we want to give them a resource to learn about it. Learning happens through knowledge of government process and through finding out what other citizens propose.
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 will work closely with the local and provincial media in order to have an informed and impartial site. However, there is no site devoted to getting public feedback for British Columbians. Most polling is private and done through companies like Ipsos-Reid and Vision Critical.

Langley Together research on the sector locally shows that the economic, social, and health impact on all residents to be significant!
Our population is projected to increase by 29% over the next 10 yrs.
Funding and resources will surely become even more restricted.
A proven, grassroots "chamber-like" model for the non-profit sector has begun to engage residents and groups in the simple, and low-cost act of sharing information and resources.
Close to 900 community groups, 46,000 volunteers, and 6,000 board members have been identified.
The average city in Canada hosts 486 community groups per 100,000 residents
Langley has 676 community groups per 100,000 residents!
There is currently NO formal agenda for social development or volunteerism in Langley.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
The history and success of the Chamber of Commerce model of support and capacity building for the private sector throughout the world suggests that it is an exemplar - it is worthy of imitation.
We have respectfully taken this model and started to build a local framework which will support, and build the non-profit sector in Greater Langley. This is truly a community-based, unique, and organic approach within a population of approximately 133,000 people.
There is no comparable in BC, and we have not been able to find a small-community initiative ( less than 800,000 people) like this one in North America.
We have already determined what the needs are within this sector, and have developed our business plan to continue to implement this model.
Many stakeholders, including all of us, believe that we are doing groundbreaking work that will benefit many other communities. This is why there is much excitment locally.
WE ARE A TRUE P3 - People, Helping People, Helping People
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Langley Together (Non-profit Chamber of Langley) will build social capital and community in a new and innovative manner.
Our initiative takes a simple, and broad view of the sector. Research shows that only about 20% of the 900 groups identofied have paid staff, and charitable or society status. This portion represents the visible portion of the "sectoral iceberg" and is where the vast majority of resources and attention is given. We believe that it is the submerged, and less visible portion (80%)of the sector where capacity can easily be enhanced through building relationships and social capital.
Given that the chamber model is sector-wide, and will operate in a relatively small community, its ability to work across communities will be enhanced. Historically, organizations and groups in the school community, faith, sports, arts, and social services have worked in relative isolation(silos). Although mandates, missions, and silos are the reality, we believe that this culture can be challenged, re-defined, and re-learned to reflect the broader community, and ultimately provide greater benefits to residents.
Our pupose is:
To provide a strong collective voice for all groups in the sector.
To support local education to help build the capacity of the sector
To develop and strengthen partnerships
To raise awareness of the economic impact, needs and value of non-profit organizations and volunteerism in our community
To communicate with funders and various levels of government
To influence the public policy environment to build community capacity
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
There is no comparable in British Coluimbia, and one is hard-pressed to find a true comparable in North America!
Our research shows that a handfull of NP Chambers do exist in cities across North America, but none has been found in a population base of less than 800,000 people.
A Chamber of Commerce entity, at best, provides token efforts to meet the needs of the "Third" sector. We are developing a relationship with our local Chamber so that the two Chamber entities can truly meet the needs of the two sectors.
Since Langley has no formal initiative to coordinate and facilitate volunteerism, Langley Together has already been looked upon to perhaps fulfill this role.
Vantage Point would be a close comparable, but it clearly targets the "visible" part of the sectoral iceberg.

I, Dave Stark, was attending a monthly dinner meeeting of the local Chamber of Commerce as the new ED of a small non-profit.
After the the meet and greet, and listening to a speaker about business tax issues, I concluded that membership was not helping myself or my organization.
The "Aha" moment ocurred when watching, but not listening to, the speaker. I thought, "what if" you applied, or moved the proven chamber model to the Non-Profit sector. This occured about 20 months ago.
Over my career, I had seen great ideas,funding and key people come and go. I was always on a quest to find that "SUSTAINABLE THING" that would entrench itself into a community. The Langley Chamber of Commerce is doing just fine after 81 years.
Bad news for my ego was that this was not a completely original idea. The good news for developing this initiative was that there were some models already in existence in North America - nothing in BC. These initiatives have been instrumental in our beginnings.
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
Our goal is to improve quality of life of Langley residents and build social capital by:
- sharing information and resources;
- providing a strong collective voice for nonprofits and less-formal community groups;
- developing and strengthening partnerships;
- raising awareness of the economic impact, needs and value of non-profit organizations and volunteerism in our community;
- communicate with funders and various levels of government;
- and to influence the public policy environment to build community capacity.
We seek to develop relationship between individuals, organizations, and sectors.
We look to develop this pilot for the benefit of other communities.
WE ARE A TRUE P3 - People, Helping People, Helping People
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Created an unprecedented buzz, and excitment within individuals and other stakeholders locally, and outside of Langley. (Personally, I have witnessed the re-birth of some longtime sector staff over this vision)
Built capacity of individuals and groups by facilitating relationships during three sesssions of "Speed Dating for Non-Profits".
Increased awareness of individuals, gov, and business of the magnitude, and the impact of the sector.
Challenged the Chamber of Commerce to do "more" for non-profit members
Stimulated thought and cultivated innovation by challenging the status quo. Groups are realizing that they do not require outside funding, and direction from outside their communities to create change.
Engaged both the private and public sectors in Langley.
Sparked the curiousity of large funders. Ironicaly, we are so "different" that we do not fit neatly into many funding streams.
"It's not easy being green." - Kermit the Frog
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
Improve personal health and well-being
Increase civic engagement and volunteerism
Increase self-determination
Enhance the capacity of Langley communities
Increase connectedness between individuals, organizations, and sectors
Improved efficiency of all resources used in this sector: money, people, facilities.
Establish relationship across communities such as faith, education, sport, arts.
Increase social capital
Increase the number of community groups
Improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of sector staff and volunteer board members
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
1) Lack of knowledge and understanding of this model, as well as the sector locally.
We are; educating the public and all other stakeholders through local media; email; e-bulletin; public presentations.
Through our activities, we have demonstrated publicly what we do, and how we are different.
Dave Stark, has been very persistent, and drinks a lot of coffee while meeting many people individually to share the vision.
2) Funding
As a result of being so new, different, and sector-wide, we do not fit neatly into many large funder's grant streams which are much more targeted.

Like other models, post secondary institutions are key to providing research, practicum, and education. Local government is already facilitating community groups. We hope to argue for greater funding here because of our focus.
We have identified, and reached out across communities. We had a strong and diverse turnout out a recent gathering which included representatives and speakers from: Pacs, faith, sports, arts, and First Nations.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
As mentioned, we are purposefully targeting smaller segments, communities, silos that typically do not work together even though they are targeting the same families. This is easier to do in a smaller community.
School, faith, sport, arts, first nations - "the bottom of the sectoral iceberg"
Other NP Chambers we have looked at around the continent focus primarily on the tip/visible portion of the iceberg in much larger cities. These groups are well resourced already.
Lastly, all of our work is done with an eye to duplicating our ground-breaking work and mentoring other communities.
What type of operating environment and internal organizational factors make your innovation successful?
Internally we have a staffing model, business case, and an extensive needs assessment as a foundation.
We are successful because this idea is so innovative and new.
Community residents and other stakeholders are truly excited about the simplicity and potential of this proven and sustainable model. Many feel that the Non-Profit sector is underappreciated, yet brings huge benefits to communities.
People can envision the impact that this low-cost, grassroots, efficient, out-of-the-box idea can have on Langley residents, and many other communities.
Internal organization in the form of Directors and committee members must represent the various sub-sectors of our community. We have established ourselves through communities of faith, minor sports, Pacs, arts, etc already.

We have completed between 700 and 800 hours of volunteer work on research and development with two goals in mind. The first is to develop this innovative, and grassroots model in Langley. Second, we want to share, what we feel, is a groundbreaking and efficient model for this sector.
This is grassroots initiative which requires minimal outside, and government support.

Cost.
The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
The needs this project addresses are two-fold: a historical lack of representation for women in politics and an increasingly contentious and partisan political atmosphere. With a major presidential election on the horizon and women's issues at the forefront of the political agenda, it is more important than ever that we engage girls in positive, respectful, and collaborative political dialogue.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Our solution is to bring girls from across the country together to participate in innovative and constructive dialogues that highlight their similarities as well as their differences and encourage increased civic participation. Girls from varied backgrounds and with diverse political ideologies will be paired together in online, Peace X Peace-led dialogues. It is our hope that having a forum for discussing political ideas in a respectful environment will encourage girls to develop their ideas and become more involved in civic society throughout their lives. A participant in our program would be inspired to work with, rather than against, those with differing opinions and backgrounds. By leading them through dialogues based on mutual respect, we hope to transform the current partisan political climate to one of healthier discussion and understanding. Even a small-scale project such as this can have a large-scale impact if it inspires girls to new heights.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
A young woman from a traditional, conservative Muslim family or a progressive, activist family may arrive on campus or in a new workplace to find groups pre-sorted by religion and political position. People assume they know what she thinks and where she belongs. Most online spaces reflect the live ones. In our program she will be introduced to a peer from a background or ideology she might not otherwise encounter, or view only as “the Other.” She will be led through guided discussions moderated by highly skilled facilitators and designed to build empathic listening, understanding, and respect. She will gain confidence as well as skill in consensus-building and respect for differences. She will gain the clarity and experience to develop her own political goals and work to achieve them. Taken to scale, this program could not only reduce the traditional under-representation of women in the political sphere.but also actually change its character to one of collaboration toward common goals.
Our initial, simultaneous activities will be recruiting participants through our established network and our web of partners, selecting facilitators, and refining the curriculum, using existing materials and customizing them to fit our audience and our organizational learning culture.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
While the idea of collaborative dialogue is not new, we could not find anyone else with a program directed towards girls and based around political dialogue. Even if other similar programs did exist, the nature of this problem is such that there is room for many different programs. There are millions of girls in the US alone who could benefit from a program such as this, and no one program could reach all of them. Indeed, the existence of similar programs could actually be beneficial, as collaboration could introduce us to new technological advances or techniques for improving our program.

What solution(s) does your initiative address to better the lives of girls and women by leveraging technology? (select all applicable)
Policy change/advocacy.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Our solution is still in idea form and has not yet been implemented. We expect that the impact in the lives of the participants will be immediate, while the impact on the broader community may be more of a long-term goal.
What is your projected impact over the next 1-3 years?
We hope to include as many interested girls as we can, potentially reaching hundreds, or even thousands, of girls within the next three years. Any participant will inevitably be impacted by this new experience and opportunity. It is our hope that after finishing with their session, they will go on to spread the principles of civic engagement and respectful dialogue to others in their community, thus broadening our impact.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
Our biggest concern is that the dialogues may devolve into partisan arguments rather than constructive political discussions. To prevent this, we will develop precise guidelines for moderating the dialogues and ensure that all participants are aware of the rules and guidelines. If we discover that this is still an issue, we will go back and reassess our protocols until we find something that works.

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.
Peace X Peace as an organization was born as a reaction to the violence of September 11, as our founder, Patricia Smith Melton, gathered experts from around the world to discuss how to respond as women to promote a culture of peace. Since then, we have implemented a variety of online programs aimed at connecting women from around the world and engaging them in discussion on peace. From newsletters to blogs to mentorship programs, we have connected our 18,000 members from 120 countries in a collaborative community of women peacebuilders. Our Building a Connection project idea was conceived as a way to further this goal by connecting to the excitement about the upcoming election and engaging girls in timely political discussions in a decidedly non-partisan manner.

2006 statistics show that there would now be close to half a million Filipinos across Canada and over 100,000 living in British Columbia alone!
While Filipinos are more likely to be employed, their average income are more than $5,000 lower than the national average of $30,000. Considering that 31% of Filipinos have bachelor's or post-graduate degree which is more than double the figure for the overall population.
Filipinos are also considerably less likely than those in the overall workforce to be self-employed. In 2001, 4% of employed people in the Filipino community worked for themselves, compared with 12% of Canadians.
There is an opportunity here for Filipino-Canadians to enhance their involvement and contribution to Canada’s social order, cultural, and economic population.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Canada’s bilateral relations with the Philippines are strong and friendly, and marked by close cooperation in a variety of areas. In 2010, Canadian merchandise exports to the Philippines were CAD $683.7 million, while Canadian imports from the Philippines were valued at CAD $889.0 million.
SIKAT is the first Filipino-Canadian trading cooperative in BC. The approach will be done through a cooperative structure that combines traditional business models with social and environmental goals. Because we are a cooperative, our priority is doing business with cooperatives in the Philippines by serving as a supply source and a link in North American market.
Through this initiative SIKAT Trading will provide the needed venue for leadership for Filipino-Canadians and, thus, encourage skills enhancement, as well as, entrepreneurship among Filipino-Canadians.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The opportunity for Filipinos and Canadians is immense. And the formation of SIKAT could not have come at a better time. Asia as an emerging market, of which the Philippines is strategically a part of, is a gold mine of environmentally compatible, organic products that are just waiting to be brought to the marketplace, and the cooperative framework is becoming the leading business model in BC.
As a cooperative, SIKAT Trading Co-op logically conforms to this economic premise follows, and where the 7 internationally recognized principles of cooperatives is its heartbeat as well:
1) Voluntary and open membership
2) Democratic member control
3) Member economic participation
4) Autonomy and independence
5) Education, training and information
6) Co-operation among co-operatives
7) Concern for community
The organization is owned by members who participate in the cooperative on the basis of one member, one vote. Members can be utilized as ambassadors to promote the products in the Canadian market. As member-owners, they share in the profit of the organization. This model allows all members to share in the success of the organization.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
There are a number of Filipino associations and organizations across Canada that addressed specific needs of the community. Most appeal to the social and cultural aspects of Filipino-Canadians. None have tried as an organization to launch a business venture similar to the concept presented here.

One of our directors visited the UK and learned about the Cooperative Group and the extent it has on different industries including retail, banking etc. The Cooperative Group is the largest organization of this type in the world, with over 5.5 million members, who all have a say in how the business is run and how its social goals are achieved. Membership is open to everyone, provided that they share the values and principles upon which the group was founded. Every year members receive a share of the group's profit. Why not have a positive “force” like a business cooperative in the Filipino community and be a model, not only within its community, but to his counterparts from other groups in his social environment, too?
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
Our goal is to bring new healthier choices to the Canadian consumer while, at the same time, help boost the productivity of our suppliers in the Philippines. And all this comes with the belief that we can make a difference through the products we will introduce into the Canadian market that meets bulk buyer profitability, consumer aspirations and a deep trust in our own potential and capacity to proceed with boldness and common vision that will also help our suppliers, distribution partners, transform environments, create experiences, and help shape new identities in our social and economic landscapes.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
We have now currently employed two individuals in the Philippines as our coordinators. Also, in anticipation of market demand, 6 organizations in the Philippines joined together to ensure sustainability of supply.
In Canada, we have gained full support from our business and community leaders regarding Sikat’s business’ concept and to buy the products as well. During our recent membership drive, some individuals have come forward and expressed interest in setting up their own businesses under our umbrella.
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
In five years time, the business hopes to achieve a gross profit of $2 million and approximately 150 members.
We also anticipate more entrepreneurs in our ranks, generate jobs, and quite a number of people helped. Looking beyond the horizon in 5 years, we also foresee a growing demand for our existing products as well as new additional products in line with market and consumer trends.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
(1)Changing the general “employee/worker” mind-set of a good number of Filipinos.(Solution:Career development through regular workshops; entrepreneurship/leadership training programs, instill greater sense of responsibility, etc.)
(2)Potential resistance to buy from a Filipino-Canadian cooperative from mainstream bulk buyers due to newness of Philippine products in the market.(Solution:Position products as new, healthier alternatives, with unique product difference, price competitiveness, etc.)
(3)Capital to establish strong market penetration and to meet growing supply-demand dynamics. (Solution:Sustain business viability and periodic investor solicitation with every milestone)
(4)Recession/Economic downturn (To downsize, cut expenditures, efficient management of supply/demand)

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Though 52% by population, women hold just 25% of the seats in federal government. More balanced representation is vital for the sake of equity and innovation, so it’s crucial that we inspire more young women to enter public life, and (a related goal) more young people in general to cast their votes. (The youth vote in 2011 was a paltry 39%.) To help overcome apathy and self-doubt, girls (and boys too) need models, but many important models – women who have overcome obstacles to help build this country, and secure the rights we enjoy – are absent from the history books and the curriculum.
This project will directly involve about 90 students, male and female, elementary to high school, and a handful of university-age interns, potentially affecting millions of young people nationally.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
My solution is to establish an online library website housing entertaining webisodes, that bring to life the unsung stories of women from history and celebrating their social and political contributions to Canada. Students from 3 classes – one each from elementary, middle and high school – will create the content and present it in class, with advice and support from our interns. These presentations will be video-captured and compiled by our team. A copy of the comprehensive book "Dancing Backwards: A Political and Social History of Women in Canada” will be donated to each school to kick-start the research process. Feedback questionnaires and surveys will track the impact of the process on students over a period of years.
This solution is replicable – the library will grow with contributions from all over BC and eventually nationally – and is an example of a peer-learning model. The intention is to write women back into Canada’s history and provide teachers with a vibrant resource.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Our class visits begin with an upbeat video explaining the assignment, and showing by example how the contribution of a forgotten political hero might be portrayed. Each student group chooses a politically influential woman from Canada’s past 100 years, and prepares a 3-minute presentation in any media to offer the class. Before and after the assignment, and periodically over time, students complete a survey of their political ideas and activities.
Student presentations are recorded, edited and uploaded to our growing library website, which is then promoted as a resource. Students at other schools will be invited to create their own contributions, and so on.
Participants learn about our political past while taking a first step towards political engagement. They have the excitement of seeing their own creative storytelling online, while gaining the confidence to express and take credit for their own ideas. Girls especially take inspiration from encounters with strong women of the past – with Doris Anderson, say, who in 1979 worked for the inclusion of women’s rights in the Constitution and the Charter, or Nellie McClung, who in 1914 created a mock parliament asking, “Why should men have the vote?” These thrilling examples make today’s obstacles seem less daunting, and dramatize the worthiness of taking on the challenge of political action. All students, male and female, experience the importance of their political rights, and the value of protecting and exercising them.
Also benefiting are the interns, and the many students who participate simply as viewers.
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.
Dancing With the Octopus is one of a collaborative group of nonpartisan organizations dedicated to supporting the political life of women, and getting more women into office. Equal Voice, Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians, Carlton University’s CWPPL, Girls in Government/Leadership, Women Voters Congress – these and others support and promote our projects, and vice versa.
What’s distinctive about us? We’re a creative hub for the conversation – our 8 “tentacles” (newsletter, web site, webisode series, documentary, live presentations…) use various forms of dynamic storytelling, always with a dash of humour, to engage and inspire people of differing demographics. The “Dancing Backwards” project is typical of our approach: fun, inclusive, educational, expansive.

As part of my ongoing project Dancing With the Octopus: Women and Politics (DWtO), I’ve been visiting classrooms, and have been struck by how oblivious and apathetic most students are regarding politics, and particularly regarding the crucial but challenging role of women in politics. I’ve also been struck by how quickly these attitudes change when students see clips of political women in action.
Earlier this year I interviewed former Senator Sharon Carstairs, who shared her book “Dancing Backwards,” which weaves women into the fabric of our social and political history. That’s when it clicked: there had to be a way to get young women and men involved in recapturing these stories, and thus invite them to begin seeing and exercising their own political potential.
An approach took shape: using DWtO’s media and outreach, and Sharon’s book as a resource, we’d get a peer-learning process going in schools. I ran the idea by school trustees and the CWP Chair – they loved it.
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
The goals of the initiative are to…
• Develop a fun, creative way for students to learn about our political past, and engage in political thinking and action
• Provide content that speaks peer-to-peer
• Record the contributions of Canada’s women politicians, and get information about them into the curriculum
• Educate young people about the value of their dearly-won right to vote, and thereby combat youth voter apathy
• Involve more girls in the political process
• Raise awareness in young women and men of the value of eachother’s perspectives, and the importance of having all points of view expressed in order to achieve good decisions
• Promote gender-balanced decision-making in our governments.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Though still at the ‘idea’ stage, the concept has endorsements from 2 school board trustees, interest from teachers wanting to participate, commitment from the CWP to use the library with their outreach, and an invitation to present the project at the BC Fed of Teachers conference.
DWtO’s other tentacles have already had a broad impact. Young people respond well to the DWtO conversation – the info is presented in short dynamic chunks, the web site is fun and appealing and delivers honest, entertaining clips with advice and encouragement. We have a loyal social media network, a monthly newsletter, a donor base, and invites for live presentations at universities. Six interns (4 from BC) helped run our international video contest, won by a 13-yr old Victoria student! Our online presence is substantial: web site - 9,000 page views yearly, Youtube - 6,000 video views, Twitter - 900 followers. We’re attracting a lot of press coverage, and are growing into our mandate as a media hub.
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
Over the next 5 years, as the project is promoted through the school system itself, more classrooms will make use of the online library, duplicating the process and contributing their own storytelling. From the 100 or so people initially involved here in BC, the impact will spread to potentially millions nationwide.
The contribution political women have made to Canada becomes an ongoing part of the curriculum, and serves as models for both girls and boys on overcoming obstacles, translating into more youth voting and more girls getting politically involved in government.
This type of project will inspire offshoot with creative thinking, and alternative methods of problem solving. The recorded feedback data will help guide the design of subsequent awareness-raising programs.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
Some potential barriers and their solutions:
• Inadequate financing. Grants, donations and advertising revenue from web ads will insure cash flow. Volunteer work will stretch resources.
• Teachers' reluctance to give class time. The project will be connected to grades that have politics in the curriculum. There will be support from teacher colleagues, School Board trustees and the BCTF.
• Lack of parental consent for child’s work to be used. DWtO’s lawyer will create consent releases. Student information will be protected.
• Technical challenges for the website and demo. DWtO will rely upon its professional film/web talent pool for technical excellence.
• Insufficient quality work from participants. We will film more student work than we need, using editing to insure quality.

Ongoing DWtO partnerships with Equal Voice, Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians, Carlton University’s CWPPL, Girls in Government/Leadership, etc. help promote us by tweeting, sharing our newsletter, linking to our web site, and inviting us to document/take part in events. Local film companies provide services to guarantee quality.
For this solution we are building relationships with school trustees, teachers and the BC Teachers Fed. (as conference guest speaker in Sept.). Heartland Books is providing copies of Sharon Carstairs's book “Dancing Backwards” to donate to participating schools.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
The initial content will be created locally in Victoria. Through the BCTF conference and other avenues we will set the stage for other territories to add content once the pilot is done. Storytelling from different regions will ensure a range of styles and perspectives, and continue to generate broader interest. The more regions that participate, the more the buy-in. Content contests between districts would also create more buzz and marketing opportunities.
What type of operating environment and internal organizational factors make your innovation successful?
DWtO operates out of my home office, which offers enough flexible space to accommodate everything from fundraising events to film shoots to feeding hungry staff. Organizational factors that will make this innovation successful include my personal experience producing large scale film/TV projects, organizing and planning provincial arts/culture festivals and my media relations expertise. Networking comes to me easily and I'm a team player. Communication and a good team are key - the ideas of each member will be closely listened to and valued. Challenges will be addressed immediately. We have fun at work, deeply believe in what we’re doing and connect with others who feel just as committed as we do. Passion, conviction, humour, talent - is the best formula for success!
Please elaborate on any needs or offers you have mentioned above and/or suggest categories of support that aren't specified within the list
DWtO is a hub for creative ideas on youth/women and politics, and seeks collaborations and content to further the cause. I’m happy to share my resources (marketing, website, newsletter, social media, video talent pool) to assist others with similar goals and values. DWtO could use some pro-bono work to update its business plan, and assistance marketing for educational outlets to realize income.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Members of Generation Y — those born roughly between 1977 to 2001 — will number 9.2 million in Canada by 2011. According to Elections Canada, “political disengagement appears less a conscious decision to turn away from politics than a failure to see the importance of political participation, combined with a belief that traditional politics may not be providing effective mechanisms for translating desire into action."
Generation Y has grown up with the media continuously warning us of the looming catastrophes facing humanity. Yet, up until now, messaging targeted at Gen Y has lacked an authentic and holistic facet explaining how the generation can engage in society in meaningful, creative and effective ways.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Our solution is to engage our generation where they are - at the crossroads of the values revolution and the digital revolution.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Gen Why Media is a collaborative production group specializing in media, events, workshops, public art and intergenerational dialogues that engage young people in new forms of public participation.
Through a network of collaborative relationships, we work with independent creatives, community organizations, youth-driven collectives, advocacy groups and educational institutions to offer a diverse and appealing approach to civic issues. We have been told that our inspiring events and compelling media have sparked meaningful public dialogues that young people can relate to and believe in.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
Gen Why Media is a community-based social enterprise focused on innovating approaches to civic engagement, targeted at Generation Y (people born roughly between 1977 and 1999). With a stylish approach and strategic demographic insights, we offer a unique combination of engagement strategy consultation, events and video production for organizations looking to engage a youth demographic.
Driven by the mandate of civic engagement, our for-hire services directly support our community initiatives by providing a sustainable revenue stream. Our small-business-meets-non-profit model allows us to produce media and events which generate revenue but also partner with non-profit organizations in order to access grants for projects related to campaigns or social issues. Within this framework, our primary activities include:
1) Events: We showcase music, film, visual art, theatre, dance and dialogue to produce fun, lively, compelling events around social issues.
2) Intergenerational Dialogue: We bring generations together in a celebratory atmosphere to talk about social transformation and knowledge transfer.
3) Media production and communication: We create web videos and social media strategy for non-profit organizations looking to reach Generation Y.
4) Public art: We facilitate large-scale, text-based public art projects made from recycled and re-used materials as a positive and thought-provoking commentary on social phenomena.
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.
Presently there are several organizations in Vancouver working towards social change with a focus on young people. Some of our peer organizations include OpenMedia.ca, Truthfool Productions, Leadnow.ca, Check Your Head, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Purple Thistle, Environmental Youth Alliance and Kids for Climate Action.
We don't see these organizations as competitors. Because we are all operating in close proximity, with limited resources and working toward the same goal of civic engagement and youth empowerment, it is in our interest to see these organizations as collaborators instead. As such, our challenge is to find innovative, efficient and effective ways of working with our peers in order to maximize the benefit for everyone involved.

Gen Why Media was conceived in February 2010 at a non-profit film school when the two founders (Tara Mahoney and Fiona Rayher) were discussing generational theory - a social sciences theory that attributes shifts in mass consciousness to generational shifts. We were inspired by how the theory explained generations reoccurring in cycles and that every four generations a “hero generation” is born. Characteristically hero generations go through a time of social crisis in their formative years and emerge civically minded, collectively orientated and with a constructive ethic of social discipline. With this in mind, we made a short documentary titled "Generation Why" that explored the potential of Generation Y to fundamentally change social structures for the better. The film was very well received and we were strongly encourage by our peers to continue down this road. We did and it's brought us to Gen Why Media.
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
Gen Why Media's goal is to tactically engage young people in creating new patterns of participation. We believe localizing culture through creative engagement can generate a willingness among young people to shape the fabric and direction of their community, city, province, country and planet.
Our objectives:
To serve as an umbrella for creative collaboration and participation;
To initiate collaborations between emerging artists, activists, students and community members;
To facilitate intergenerational dialogue and knowledge transfer;
To use art, design and performance in public space as new forms of civic engagement;
To showcase and celebrate social innovation.
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
To date we have:
- Created two large-scale interactive public art projects which sit prominently at post-secondary educational institutions.
- Engaged over 50 volunteers and 4 interns.
- Gained national media exposure through large-scale events, like our Reimagine CBC event which had 1000+ participants.
- Created a model for growth and sustainability that can generate a revenue stream for future projects.
- Used our community events to attract other community development organizations as partners.
- Brought attention to an intergenerational approach to social, economic and environmental issues.
- Collaborated widely across disciplines to design innovative approaches to civic engagement.
- Created short videos for non-profit campaigns targeted at Generation Y.
- Are being approached by policy think-tanks and post secondary institutions to collaborate on large-scale, long term research and engagement projects.
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
Over the next five years we plan to:
- Deepen the intellectual and experiential understanding of civic engagement through the events, workshops and dialogue sessions that attract mainstream media attention;
- Facilitate large-scale creative projects (public art, media, festivals, etc.) to encourage young people to produce art about political topics that matter to them;
- Increase operational capacity of Gen Why Media by at least 50% (two more employees);
- Increase community development projects by 50%;
- Develop a highly skilled, creative and diverse work team that reflect the values, beliefs and culture of our audience;
- Set-up a non-profit creative lab based on civic renewal (The Civic Renewal Lab)
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
1) Not having enough capacity to grow and diversify the operations of Gen Why Media will eventually hinder our success. Without outside help (be it financial or otherwise) our progress and professional development will be much slower. We plan to overcome this by saving a portion of our company earnings to put towards hiring part-time employees for our projects.
2) Not having a strong and consistent presence online and lacking the capacity to manage our online community could hinder our success. We plan to overcome this by approaching the the SFU School of Communications about a partnership for setting up an intern program with Gen Why Media.
3) Not being a non-profit will hinder our ability to qualify for grants. We plan to set up a non-profit arm of Gen Why Media.

The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
- Explaining 7-8 years old children (and older) the principles of the democratic system and promoting its assimilation in order to help create collective awareness through values such as solidarity, empathy and respect. These values are to be made part of how they lead their lives and shall prepare them as citizens capable of improving and transmitting the same.
- Providing a supporting resource for teachers for managing coexistence problems and conflict resolution.
- Introducing democratic system rules in primary schools Coexistence Plans as preventive tool for conflict resolution and for reducing the application of punishments.
- Improving school coexistence and reducing bullying.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
A program including:
- Teaching material: a) a text explaining the Spanish Constitution and fables on the origin of Democracy and on how our system works to children; this material should be read by teachers during the “General Meetings” or tutorships held weekly in each class, b) debating in class on how to apply certain values to common situations, c) class activities covering different subjects, d) activities suggested to be discussed at home and later in class.
- Why did we choose the Constitution? Because it gathers our society’s coexistence values and rules, independently from the ideology and religion of their citizens.
- Why should it be read by teachers? In order to reinforce the perception of moral authority by students.
- Why is it directed to 7-8 years old students? Because at that age children start to be interested in coexistence rules and how to solve their conflicts.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
My aim is to introduce the initiative (material and specifications for the project) to the State or Self-Governing Community Observatory of School Coexistence so that it may be studied in a commission formed by representatives of the school community. Once the project has been discussed, the program would be carried out in a 25 public schools sample, creating work teams with participating teachers in order to draw and present its conclusions.
The program has 15 workshops divided into 6 modules. Each workshop includes:
- Reading part of the text of the Constitution explained to children or one of the fables explaining the origin of Democracy and how it works. Teachers should read these texts to the students.
- Debating among students and their teacher on the concepts dealt with in the text and applicable to real situations and conflicts that may have taken place among them.
- Arts and crafts, plays and musical activities in which teachers for different school subjects may participate, aimed at reinforcing assimilation and application of the concepts learned.
- Home activities aimed at establishing a dialogue with the families on the concepts learned in class linking what is learned at school and at home.
- Creating a web page to coordinate the work, connect the schools involved in the study and provide complementary material.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
The school community is deeply concerned about “educating on values” and several interesting initiatives. The Ministry of Education has recently announced the creation of a school subject on Civic Education and the Constitution. Its application to primary school has not been defined yet, as a joint decision together with other organizations is still pending. Since the project is not limited only to explaining the constitution but rather to analyzing the values inspiring the same, the project “Democratic Values in the School” will give all children the possibility of learning shared values in a multicultural society – learning the values shared by the different religions – and would help them get ready to assimilate more complex concepts in High School.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Celebrating the Constitution’s first 25 years, three years ago we started a workshop for two months in 3rd grade primary school in Madrid. The result was that, surprisingly, children showed great interest in the content and activities offered. According to the teacher, children’s behavior in class improved.
During the days prior to “Constitution Day” celebration, the blog featuring the text of the Constitution explained for children registered between 200 and 300 daily visits.
What is your projected impact over the next 1-3 years?
Reaching other Self Governing Communities with this program in their school coexistence plans in order to improve school coexistence and increase tolerance and empathy. The latter can be obtained helping students speak their minds and expressing how they feel in class in debates coordinated by teachers.
I also expect this Project to impact on children, their schools and families and to extend its impact on society as a whole. It could serve as model for other societies, particularly those with high levels of multiculturalism.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
1. In spite of the fact that at present the school community seems to agree on the need of transmitting democratic values at school, disagreement arise due to the different approaches, none of which are against teaching the Constitution. In order to overcome this barrier, I plan on filing the initial proposal for evaluation to the school community through State or Self-Governing Communities Observatory in order to obtain consensus on the material.
2. Taking part in the initial study may include extra work for teachers: holding meetings, gathering information, drafting conclusions. In order to overcome this barrier I propose to have teachers motivated to contribute to the development of a tool to help them manage conflicts and improve school coexistence.

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]
As from the day my son started school, and due to the conflicts arising among classmates, I have had the opportunity to detect the need to transmit children the values of a “collective awareness” and to explain them how our system, rights and duties actually work, as well as the ideas behind those rules. I was able to prove that, once explained, we satisfy the curiosity on subjects that starts to show as from the early age of 7 or 8. As we give children the opportunity to talk about these subjects, we help them assimilate and apply these concepts to everyday situations. Also, both parents and teachers agree on the need of teaching democratic values and ask for tools to manage conflicts. The Constitution and democratic values that inspired this constitute our “coexistence manual”; these are the rules of the game we all need to know, and whenever possible, to improve. Adults’ values should apply to children as well.

The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
A positive school climate creates the foundation for learning. Unfortunately, too many young people feel disengaged from and unwelcome in their schools. Nationwide, over 50% of students feel unsafe in school; 1 in 3 students report being bullied. These factors lead to a host of poor outcomes including academic failure, behavioral problems, civic disengagement, violence, and suicide.
The statistics are staggering:
-13 million youth are bullied every year
-3 million students stay home every month because they feel unsafe in school
-74% of 8- to 11-year-old students said teasing and bullying occur at their schools
-40-60% of students report being chronically disengaged from school, directly contributing to a rising dropout rate, particularly in low-income neighborhoods
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
NSCC was formed because we know that this is a problem that can be solved. Decades of research demonstrate that a positive school climate promotes safety, academic achievement and engaged learning and teaching. We seek to narrow the gap between what research tells us about school climate and current practice. We do this by assessing climate and providing professional development, tools and resources to transform schools into welcoming environments where all members of the school community feel supported and empowered. We also support schools through our BullyBust: Promoting a Community of Upstanders campaign. This campaign is an essential and foundational element of everything that we have learned about school climate, packaged for the entire school community. Through this campaign, we have helped over 1,600 schools and more than 800,000 students and adults become Upstanders - people who recognize when bullying occurs and act to make it right.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
Our goal is to promote positive and sustained school climate: a safe, supportive environment that nurtures social and emotional, ethical, and academic skills. We do this by working with schools and districts to measure school climate using our empirically validated Comprehensive School Climate Inventory. We also provide professional development to improve school climate using a model that empowers educators to bring the message of school climate to the entire school community.
Through this work, we have found that adults overwhelmingly believe that social as well as physical safety is a “mild” and sometimes “moderately severe problem”, but that students consistently rate school safety as a “severe problem.” This finding led us to launch BullyBust: Promoting a Community of Upstanders, a campaign to end bulling by transforming the climate of the school. The campaign is grounded in comprehensive school climate reform strategies and is aligned with the US Department of Education’s bully prevention guidelines.
As part of this campaign, students across the country are forming Upstander Alliances. NSCC provides free resources to help Upstander Alliances create targeted community-wide engagement projects focused on preventing bullying and improving school climate. We provide them with access to tools for creating and sustaining their group and opportunities to connect with experts and youth leaders. Not only do Upstander Alliances create authentic change in their school communities, they also learn to be student leaders, empowered to make the world a better place.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
Several national organizations focus on aspects of school climate, including social and emotional learning, civic engagement and mental health. NSCC is the only organization focusing directly on school climate. We work actively with others to provide schools with all of the resources they need to succeed. Our national school climate council, representing many of these organizations, helps us to think and learn with those who might otherwise be seen as our competitors.
Specific to our work around bullying and violence prevention, we stand out from our competition because we do far more than provide packaged standalone curricula. We know that sustainable change only happens when the entire school climate is improved, therefore we focus on non-stigmatizing, whole school transformation.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?
In the past three years, BullyBust: Promoting a Community of Upstanders has grown exponentially, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. We currently reach 800,000 young people in over 1600 schools nationwide. Based on feedback and survey follow-up with students and school staff, we believe our work is beginning to transform school climate. Most notably, students, principals and teachers reported that:
• They saw an increase in awareness and understanding of what constitutes mean, cruel, bullying behavior
• Student behavior shifted from one of stigmatization (singling out the bully) to empowering and celebrating the “upstanders”
• Referrals for behavior incidences were down significantly, in some cases by as much as 50%over the course of the year, because students were more focused on positive behaviors and responses
• Students were more engaged and there was deeper collaboration between students and adults to address school climate issues
What is your projected impact over the next 1-3 years?
We will use pre and post survey data, classroom observations and qualitative study to monitor progress. Empirically validated survey tools, such as the Comprehensive School Climate Inventory, will measure student views of their prosocial attitudes and behaviors, academic motivation, and self-reported academic achievement. A parallel set of surveys will be constructed for teachers.
By the end of year three, we expect to see:
20% drop in “chronic absenteeism”(students who are absent 3 or more times per month)
20% decrease in behavioral referrals and suspensions
40% increase in the number of students who report that they are motivated and engaged at school
40% increase in reports of Upstander behavior
30% decrease in incidents of violence
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
Funding remains a key challenge to the success of our project. Much of the financial support for our work comes through direct service, including school climate assessment, professional development, and our online educator resources. We have developed partnerships with corporations who help support our work through cause marketing and sponsorships. In addition, our strong collaborations with like-minded non-profits raise our profile and open our work up to new sources of funding to help us grow our work in a measured, well-focused way. In addition, our exceptional relationships with schools, districts, and states nationwide, and with President Obama’s Federal Bully Prevention Partnership, favorably position us for continued expansion in the months and years ahead.

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]
As is the case with many great ideas, the impetus for NSCC happened over a meal. George Igel, our current board chair, and Jonathan Cohen, our president, were having lunch and the conversation eventually turned to a topic that they spoke about a great deal. As mental health practitioners, they were frustrated that there was so much known about how to support children’s healthy social and emotional development. Yet, this wealth of research wasn’t being applied to the education of America’s children. By the end of the meal, they had plans to hold a conference. The initial conference, held at Columbia University, was so successful – over 500 people attended from around the world – that Columbia was inspired to support a Center to study social and emotional learning. Their initial goal was simple and overwhelming: to transform public K-12 education by incorporating social and emotional learning as an integral facet of the instructional and systemic aspects of school life.

The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
1. Respecting Human Rights of students
2. Lowering levels of aggression and violence in schools.
3. Lowering levels of teachers' attrition.
4. Trainnig students in skills of democratic behavior. 5. Upgrading the teaching profession.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Elected by students Classroom Peace and Justice Committee serves as the Court of Justice and processes all discipline cases. Teachers have no right to punish students; During Home-Room hours Peace and Justice Committee (PJC) processes discipline and conflict cases. Students and teachers could file charges against others. Defendants have to prepare a Correction Proposal. If PJC decides for the plaintiff the offender is charged with obligation to correct the wrongdoing,compensate the other party, etc. If charge found justified: The offender suggests the Correction Procedures he/she pledges to undertake. If accepted by the PJC, the PJC appoints one of its members to ensure its proper implementation in time and the process is finished. In cases the Correction Procedure suggested by the offender is not acceptable, offenders have to follow the Correction Procedure approved by the PJC.In cases an offender refuses to comply with the PJC decision, other school authorities take over the case.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
Literally changes an Authoritarian-Dictatorship system into a Democracy governed by elected representatives. Ends disciplinary practices that put young people in an anti-EMPATHY)humiliating position of powerless dependency while in a critical stage of life for developing their concepts and attitudes of fairness, human rights, personal dignity, equality before the Law, and respecting the rights of others.
TEACHERS: Disciplining a classroom is by far the main cause of teachers attrition-misery. In the frontline of education teachers stand alone and are demanded to exercise control without means of enforcement, in most cases without backing of the system. CHANGE: Teachers are unburdened of sole responsibility for classroom management, and effectively released of tasks required normally of policemen, security personnel, or successful entertainers.
AGGRESSION:Aggressiveness correlates with frustration, that is with felt inability to achieve one's goals by other means. Giving students rights to exercise power legitimately and constructively with peers will lower levels of destructive aggressiveness and violence./
CORRECTION: Punishing usually breeds aggressive response. CHANGE: A shared problem-solving rather than a punishment system. Justice prevails by demanding offenders correct the wrong while sharing power to suggest their-own correction process./ DEMOCRATIZATION: A school can only teach ABOUT Democracy not FOR it, as long as life-experience of teachers and students is dictatorial. CHANGE: Changing the authoritarian power-balance.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
There are experimental democratic schools that are not competitors. I do not know of any applying my specific program of power-sharing in what really matters in students' living experience, dignity, responisibility, personal freedom and democratic practice. True Democratization must be done by giving students, from middle-school level up, authority to decide on discipline and interpersonal confilcts, including teacher-student conflicts.
Define your company, program, service, or product in 1-2 short sentences [136 characters]
Discipline problems dealt by students' elected authority.No punishing. Having offenders first suggest their own correction procedures.
Identify what is innovative about your solution in 1-2 short sentences [136 characters]
It changes the system in school from authoritarian to democratic. Democratization of living experience of students and teachers.
baca seterusnya↓↑ menyembunyikan↑ menyembunyikanThis Entry is about (Issues)
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
Because the Democratization program runs against the grain of authoritarian school systems and deeply entrenched historical habits, it will either be applied by Changemakers in authority position in some schools, or must be instituted from the top administration. Two different Ministers of Education in Israel answered me politely that my Memorandum was placed on the agenda of their National Pedagogic Committee. The two Ministers are gone long ago. However this Program was accepted to date for presentation in 3 international academic conferences on education.
What is your projected impact over the next 1-3 years?
Changes in the division of power are the most difficult to institute. I hope it will be tried-out in countries where the education system is less centralized than here in Israel.
I see the impact of my project as that of an only option: Either that change of regimen will be done or there will not be significant change in Democratic Education and the authoritarian experience of young people at school, with its associated alienation between students culture and schools culture, with its associated problems of discipline, split loyalty between school and peers, teachers' attrition, aggressiveness and violence.
What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?
There is one only gigantic barrier: for leaders in school systems to dare try it out, in spite its being in effect revolutionary. Once it is instituted I see no major barriers, because the scientific basis for for it is so overwhelming. YOU CANNOT EDUCATE FOR DEMOCRACY WITHOUT MODELING DEMOCRATIC LIFE EXPERIENCE. YOU CANNOT HOPE TO REDUCE AGGRESSION LEVEL IF NO LEGITIMATE WAY OF SOLVING A CONFLICT WITH AN AUTHORITY ON AN EQUAL BASIS ARE AVAILABLE. In my experience, the resistance "barrier" to power sharing with students, in what really is meaningful to them, is like that resistance that historically met the "scandalous" ideas of The Right to be Judged by Peers, Checks and Balances, and Government by the People, Democracy itself.

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]
My most significant learning in life occured not in school but in a T-group in a Laboratory Setting, which has a facilitaror but is leaderless and completely egalitarian, truly Democratic. I experienced it and was completely convinced that it can resolve interpersonal conflicts far better than any other. At that time I read Freedom to Learn by Carl Rogers, and later I participated in a workshop with him. This program came naturally and I don't even see it as innovative in terms of ideas. It is Application that Makes a Diffference, because in this instance Social Science and Psychology tackle a power-system, and power-systems resist change. My favorite of Rogers' quotation is "Psychology can by very subversive when it enters the realm of political power".

We offer professional video workshops to voiceless groups of people, learning them how film, tell stories and share their opinion.

Tell us about your personal background. Why are you passionate about this issue? Making an idea a reality takes innovation, dedication and strong leadership. Do you have the necessary entrepreneurial skills to realize your vision?
I'll start by telling a short story showing my determination and dedication.
In the summer of 2011, I was hired by the New York based NGO, LitWorld to carry out a participatory video project for a group of teenagers in one of the projects in Harlem, New York. I've developed the content of the workshops myself and this was a unique chance to test the methods and to see if it was actually possible to end up with finished films. It was a valuable learning process to work with marginalized youth in Harlem, and the premier screening at the local community center made me understand how important it is that the participants experience the results and take active part in the project from beginning to end. Seeing the newborn film makers Emily, Yasmine, Shawn, Timmothy and Daija standing on the stage answering questions from the audience made me proud and gave me the confidence that it would also be possible to create a similar film workshop in Sierra Leone. It reminded me of my professor Erica Kohl and what she has taught me in the course 'Community Development' at The New School in New York.
A few weeks later I was situated in a typical dusty African town, Koidu, in the Northeastern part of Sierra Leone, ready to run the participatory video workshop together with my co-worker Trine Berg.
I have a bachelor degree in journalism from The Danish School of Journalism (2008) and I'm currently finishing my thesis about Participatory Video Workshops and in this spring I'll be 'Master of Journalism with a special in International Development and nonprofit management.'
My co-worker Trine Berg earns a bachelor in film studies and is an award winning film maker. Together we make up a perfect match to run This is my Story.
All though, my educational background is relevant for my social business idea, I believe that my experience as a social entrepreneur is at least as important. Three years ago I co-founded Kono Business & Development. A nonprofit that provide jobs for 14 female tailors in Sierra Leone and at the same time offer further education for the tailors. Most of them only have two years of vocational training in tailoring and don't know how to read and write.
Kono is run by dedicated volunteers and all profit from sales in Denmark go back to the project for further investment.
Running this nonprofit has been a learning experience where I've learnt about business, fundraising, and not least creating positive change and impact. I'm still the project manager of Kono Business. Check it out at www.konobusiness.com
When I was back in Sierra Leone a few months ago, I realized how much the women had developed during the 2 years where I haven't had the chance to visit Sierra Leone. When I met them the first time to start Kono Business, they were all shy and didn't say much. Today they are extrovert and say their opinion. And most importantly they take responsible of their own lives. For example, they have hired a local woman to teach them English and math. It is great to see how a group characterized as marginalized by local NGO's now are role models for both their children and women in the community.
I believe I'm in this world to create change. I consider myself as a social entrepreneur and a change maker.

Most communities want to engage all their citizens, and have them participating in local democracy processes, but certain groups are often not participating at all. In Sierra Leone women usually don’t speak in public, and in Harlem the teenagers are often not asked for their opinion. Of course that doesn’t mean they don’t have any opinions. This is my story involves the voiceless and create a safe space for them to raise their voice. For example two teen boys in Harlem created a film about their big passion, basketball. When asked why basketball was so important to to the to the community they said, “It’s a way to keep us out of trouble and away from the streets.”
The workshop can be part of a a nonprofit project in a developing country or carried out as a CSR-activity for a company.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
‘This is my Story’ is a new and modern way to improve the self-esteem of the participants and thereby engage people in their local community. We focus on the individual stories and stress the importance of reflecting upon lived experience. Throughout the workshops the participants are forced to reflect upon, and discuss their film idea and thereby think about what’s really important in their lives.
When the workshops are over, the focus moves from the process towards the product. Now, it is time to share the films with the world. The first step is to show the films at a premiere screening in the local community. This day is an important day for the newborn filmmakers. Usually, they are shy and afraid to show their work to the public, but when they see and experience the positive reactions from the audience, they become proud and full of self-confidence. After the screening the films are uploaded to You Tube and Vimeo, and submitted to film festivals to reach an international audience.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
This is my Story is based on old theory about participatory education and ways to empower poor people. With inspiration from Brazilian Education activist, Paolo Freire we have developed the curriculum of the participatory video workshops. This means that the theoretical foundation is solid.
As an example let's take out next customer Valby, which is part of Denmark's capital city, Copenhagen. The local municipality has hired This is my Story to carry out a participatory video workshop in an area with a high rate of crime.
The local politicians have tried to start a dialogue with the youth in Valby. They have done so by inviting them to debates to share their views. But so far with no success. Not a single person showed up and the debates were cancelled.
Valby needs a new approach.
That is why they hired us. They wish to decrease criminal rates and activate and engage the youth in the neighborhood.
In the summer of 2012 we are going to run the workshop in Valby. This basically means we will have 10 workshops each lasting for 3 hours. The participants learn how to use a camera and all end up with a professional product because we - the trainers- both have media and film backgrounds.
At the end of the workshops the films will be shown at a public event in a cinema, and the participants get a chance to talk about their film afterwards at the Q&A session.
After that the films will be submitted to film festivals around the world and uploaded to You Tube.
The process of creating these film are at least as important as the final product. Our teaching filosophy is based on trust and listening to the participants. And we know it works because the workshops have been carried out with success in both Harlem, New York and in Sierra Leone.
One of the female participants, Hawa Gborie from Sierra Leone told us after the workshop, that she had learnt "That women are also important in a community."
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
In Denmark there are a few projects working with similar projects. Bongo Docs is probably the most closely related to us.
We have set up a network for people in Denmark working with participatory video. Currently, we are 6 members (3 projects). All though, we are competitors we can also help each other because out approaches are slightly different. Also we hope the network will help us becoming recognized as those who know most about this area in DK. It is fairly new in DK and all 3 projects in the network are less than one year old.
Insight Share UK and in Witness.org in US. But these organizations focus on advocacy videos, whereas our focus is the personal story and empowerment through that.
Also we believe the market is big enough and we will start by focusing on Danish customers.

baca seterusnya↓↑ menyembunyikan↑ menyembunyikanWhat is the social impact you have had to date and how you measure it?
Through evaluations with participants to secure and evaluate our methods to make the most impact and continously developing our concept. Emily is 18 years old and was one of the workshop participants in Harlem. She lives in an apartment with all of her family placed in the 'projects,' which is a social housing program in New York, that has now developed to ghettos. After school she is hanging out at the local community center. There are a lot of activities and she has tried everything, but has never fulfilled a project. With effort and hard work she managed to create her very own film about her passion: dance.
I'll never forget the smile on Emily's face, on the day of the premiere screening at the community center. She was incredible proud when people asked questions about her film.
What barriers might hinder the success of your business? How do you plan to overcome them?
Setting up a business means that we won't make a lot of money in the beginning. So first of all, we have made a decision to give it a shot for at least the rest of 2012.
When we start contacting new customers we will probably receive 10 nos before we get one yes. We are prepared for that, and have decided that nos will only make us stronger.
We wish to make the video workshops in collaboration with NGO's and non-profit organizations, but these business do not have a lot of money, therefor we also plan to work together with businesses like Ben & Jerrys who wish to use the workshops for employer branding and CSR purposes.
baca seterusnya↓↑ menyembunyikan↑ menyembunyikanHow does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?
We want this project to get really big and achieve the biggest impact possible with this idea, and we are determined to make it happen.
To get there, there are to roads we needs to follow. Both with the same level of importance.
The first road is the quantity of workshops. How do we make more than just 3-4 workshops per year, but still secure the quality of the workshop and of the films. One way we wish to do this, is by "Training of Trainers". Every year Denmark sends out more than 2000 volunteers to thirds world countries around the world. If This is my Story could train their own volunteers to carry out the workshops and lend them the necessary equipment, this will increase the amount of workshops per year.
The other road is the number of people watching the films and also to get the right people to see the films.
One way of getting there is to talk with local NGO's who wish to use the film in their advocacy work. In Sierra Leone two local NGO's asked for the dvd's to do so.
An other way is by the public screenings. The films from Sierra Leone was recently shown in an International Human Rights Film Festival, where the participants came and talked about the process.
My partner and I both have a big network within the danish media and nonprofit sector. Longterm partnerships with news pages will also give the film an after life. We also send the films to documentary film festivals around the world.
baca seterusnya↓↑ menyembunyikan↑ menyembunyikanHow do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
We believe that entrepreneurship itself is a key factor to create more business and and development in countries in Africa, where most of our experience is from. Social Entrepreneurship makes it even more promising since the social mindset makes sure that the workers, the environment etc are taken better care of and shows that a different mindset than pure capitalism is possible.
In Anni's first social business they are working with 14 tailors in Sierra Leone and their development such as learning to read, write and calculate have been as important as making tons of money. These women are now role models in their local community and inspire others to study and work. They show that there are other possibilities than prostitution, which is the most common work for young women in the Kono-province where the tailor facility is set up.
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
The stay in Uganda will be a big inspiration for our future work with profit organizations. To see how the plantation is run and meet the farmers who work there. It is companies like Ben & Jerrys that we are going to target in our B2B concept.
We hope to be able to do a sample of our video workshops with some of the farmers or farmer's children. Because of the sort amount of time we can't run a full workshop, but we can test it with the possibility to return if the participants and Ben & Jerry like the idea og giving their local workers a chance to tell their personal story and in that way connect the workers with customers and B&J employers in UK.
This oppurtunity will be our first experience with working with a for profit company and the experience will provide us with valuable and important knowledge on how this B2B conecept can be carried out and will help us to develop the concept further be fore the launching.

dedicated site. There is also a collection of amateur sites which steal the work of others and post it without their permission.
This is due to the fact that official Moroccan media obscures some of the facts so that the real picture of events is not conveyed. Hence the need to set up this site, which is based on the concerns of the citizen.
Morocco is experiencing a deep dynamic experience as there is a strong desire for change on the part of large groups of people.
There are a lot of violations that are spreading throughout Morocco and which need to be exposed to public opinion.
This is because the professional press in Morocco suffers from state oppression and its censorship of the right of free speech.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
The anticipated name of the site: Dyalkom (a word in Moroccan dialect meaning “your matters”)
The anticipated link: www.dyalkom.com
A Moroccan news site made by the citizen-journalist, as he writes up the news stories and opinion articles, and he is the one who sends in the pictures and video clips; in brief, the citizen-journalist is the one that makes things happen on this site. Its slogan will be: "You are who makes it happen.."
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
The site will be divided into 5 sections
The video section: This section will receive video clips that document particular events which cannot be captured by professional cameras, such as demonstrations in a remote region, aggression against a citizen, violation of traffic regulations, and other such incidents...
Your opinion in voice and video section: This section will receive visitors' posts in the form of video clips, through which they express their opinions about an issue or another.
News section: The news written by citizen-journalists will be published here. These news will be checked somehow; the news stories that can not be verified will be given a yellow star, while verified news get a green star. Falsified news will be deleted, and a daily list will be made of true and falsified news stories.
Picture section: This section is designated for pictures taken by citizens’ cameras and phones, and which document some event or scene.
Opinion section: This section is designated for opinion articles from citizen-journalists.
In each genre, the intellectual property rights of owners will be preserved and their names will also be published, if they have no objection.
Every weekend, a PDF copy will be made of the most important news stories and articles, which will be made available for downloading.
In the same way that a PDF copy is to be made of the most important news items and articles published, an audio copy of these materials will also be compiled to enable people who can't read to inform themselves about the most important materials on the site.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
There is the "Hespress" site, however, it is a general news site, not to mention the fact that no one knows who is behind this site. There is also Lakome news site, but it is a news site only, and there is nothing on it relevant to the citizens’ press.
For this reason I will be different than them as my site will be only devoted to the citizen and be made by the citizen.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
I have a financing problem as the cost of the site may be more than $2,000 at the start; This is something that is very difficult for me, especially as I am still a Media student.
After building the site and making it known, I will conclude partnerships with international organizations to support it, and I will attract certain ads to the site with the intention of finding some material means to enable the site to continue. Once the site reaches the top rankings, it will receive ad requests, from which I will pick certain ads that are not at variance with the aims of the site.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
This question will be answered in relation to my country’s situation, as in Morocco there is an illiteracy rate of up to 50%, there are only 3 million Internet users out of 36 million people, so this site, by its nature, would encourage people to use the Internet.

Digital media enables the democratization of free speech, eliminating the mainstream media as an intermediary so that stories and facts can come into the public sphere. By not requiring a lot of resources or skills, blogs and social networks like Facebook and Twitter allow anyone to speak on any subject.
Interested in amplifying not only this voice but also in promoting connections between those with common dreams, the Cidade Democrática project created a space in which citizens are the protagonists in the dissemination and propagation of their demands and proposals. In this social platform, you do not create profiles, but proposals and problems. You do not count your friends, but supporters and commentators on a post. In this way, the Cidade Democrática allows for a discussion and sharing of creative ideas that can be implemented by anyone in a system of open innovation.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
Cidade Democrática wants to invite the public to think about how to improve where they live and recover their capacity to intervene in public life, either through collaboration of common interests or by organizing a consistent demand that cannot be ignored by the government or other actors.
The innovation of Cidade Democrática is to organize the demands in an environment in which everyone can speak, but few are heard.
Through categorization and tagging, it is possible to refine the search for global themes or those restricted to one location, such as the lack of garbage collection in a given neighborhood. This ability to process and measure information and map demands facilitates the work not only of the government, but of the citizens themselves in finding solutions, especially since it already puts people with common problems and interests in touch.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
As an expansion strategy, Cidade Democrática designed a model competition called Digital Cities, in which, during the pre-determined period, all are invited to work with ideas and proposals for the theme of the competition. The award for proposals legitimizes the approach for citizens to enter into dialogue with government, business and the third sector in a way that certifies the proposals supported by the participants in the contest, either by acting via these social actors or through their investment in the citizenship project.
The contest topics chosen up until now have been geographic, although it is quite possible to have a competition around cyclo-activism, for example. The pilot program for Digital Cities was was in Jundiaí, with the competition Cidadonos (www.cidadonos.org.br).
During the contest, there were 1,000 ideas, involving more than 3,400 people in the city with almost 20,000 interactions between comments and proposals. We realized that the competition model promotes greater involvement of people, who organize to garner support for their proposals. And it also gave rise to a network, with meetings of groups interested in disseminating and discussing their proposals. The Digital City model has attracted interest from other cities and we have already confirmed a competition in the city of Várzea Paulista, in São Paulo state.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
The Festival of Ideas promoted similar initiatives to the competition, receiving ideas across three thematic areas: mobility, violence and natural disasters.
During the festival period, users could also comment on proposals and even improve and edit them. The Festival had the support of Catarse, a crowdfunding platform, through which project financing was organized, and guaranteed prize money for the top three. The financial support of the Festival of Ideas encourages entrepreneurship among those who propose ideas and is a model that Cidade Democrática wants to emulate.
We want to decentralize the competitions and the offering of prizes to encourage everyone to think about social innovation.
OpenIdeo is a platform that promotes campaigns to find solutions through social innovation. As Cidade Democrática is a collaborative space in which everyone can participate in the process, OpenIdeao is inspired by the process of creation of Design (Inspiration, Conceptualization and Evaluation).

The more than 10,000 users of Cidade Democrática are spread throughout Brazil, but we have more participation in São Paulo and Jundiaí, where we conducted the pilot program Digital Cities.
After selecting the twelve proposals most relevant and popular from the contest in Jundiaí, a civic agenda was established. Now, the city is experiencing a political moment, in which citizens will seek the fulfillment of this agenda, which will also serve to create an opening to hold the work of political representatives accountable. The debate spread widely and reached schools, offices and also the city government.
Everyone has an idea to improve the place you live, even if it is small. Cidade Democrática does not wish these individuals luck, but instead proposes to them: "Let's do it together?"

Our goal is to reach 1% of the Brazilian population, which represents two million people. For us, the model of the Digital Cities competition can be applied in any city interested in entering into this means of communication with its citizens.
But we dream as well: with the opening of our code (a step we are currently implementing) every one can implement the challenge /competition with the scope they want. It may be to gather ideas on cyclo-activisim, for your street, for the neighborhood or to encourage the donation of bone marrow, for example. We want to give this autonomy to everyone. Therefore, we aim to be a viable platform for people to realize their dreams through collaboration, a value which we strongly believe in.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
From the beginning, the Cidade Democrática has been well received and raised a lot of support and recognition. Our constraint is finding ways for the 2nd phase of development (programming) platform. For this we are detailing the development project with a couple of programmers and we will submit this project (with a total budget around $300,000) to foundations who seek to promote research.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
The citizen is the new creator of messages which changes everything. The web, through social media, widgets and applications gives the young Generation Y a lot of power and is designing a future where information will be online all the time and on cell phones and other devices. We will be the editors of collaborative solutions for public spaces.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
We have already evolved a lot. We started thinking that we would sell analytical reports from the vast amount of information that the platform would receive. We went through models of actions in partnership with business and today we are having success in projects with public servants that empower citizens on how the web can help resolve public issues. We will continue working in this vein. The next step is to create open-source platform from our code for others to use.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
Today we sell a package that includes Digital City web-citizenship workshops in which we train participants in how to use the web; web-citizenship strategies, in which we design a plan, train and accompany the participants so they succeed in using the web for public affairs, and a portal customized using the information architecture of Cidade Democrática. For the initiative to make its code open source and move to the 2nd stage of development of the tool, we have submitted proposals to foundations for research support and we will utilize crowdfunding platforms to raise at least 10% of the total.
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
There are currently more than 20 projects that comprise a complex ecosystem of web-citizenship that converge and complement each other. We use the network to offer more complete solutions and to strengthen our work. (www.webcidadania.org.br)
Partner organizations that hire us and / or offer solutions together are: São Paulo library, Catraca Livre, Cities for People, Educartis Aha!

We work based on collaboration, thus, more or less all we have, being what we value, we also need. Our network of contacts is very broad and we often recommend people for stories in the media, jobs and opportunities in events, etc. Because we have an intense media platform and social media we use, we can provide space, but also greatly appreciate new spaces where we can talk about our project. The same goes for research and information. Recently, we completed a study in partnership with Avina on how the web can help in social causes. Ideas are always welcome and our work is influenced by recommendations. What is most important at the moment are financial resources for the aforementioned programs and talents to work as a network.

In Chile and Latin America there is a significant degree of inequality, which is influenced by misinformation. While many times the information exists, the public does not know how to access it. This is compounded by a lack of transparency and accountability in governance and a lack of specific spaces for participation. It has been shown in recent times - particularly with the student movement - the desire to participate by the Chileans there, but the lack of information on issues of concern hinder the empowerment of citizens, as well as the influence that citizens can have on public policy. Our solution is targeted towards communities seeking access to information in Chile. Usually these are people who have had access to education and are motivated by issues of contingency. Currently we are also focusing resources to youth and adolescents.

Reducing information asymmetries between citizens and different social spaces, through the creation of socially useful web applications. www.ciudadanointeligente.cl is home to sites that help citizens access and share public information, monitor their representatives, draw their own conclusions on issues of transparency, and participate more actively in their social environment. These are: www.votainteligente.cl contains relevant information on parliamentarians and key players in the political scene, monitoring everything that happens in Congress, www.accesointeligente.org system centralizes requests for public information online in Chile, requesting information and making visible the answers. graphic http://21demayo.ciudadanointeligente.cl a study of executive level of compliance, enabling citizens to monitor government work. www.acuerdoeducacion.cl compares the proposals of the student movement in Chile, with the government's proposals. www.ciudadanointeligente.cl / run allows citizens to follow the events via streaming. It is innovative because citizens can monitor their representatives and management to access the information they need from the comfort of your computer, in a graphically accessible and understandable. All our applications are designed for the ordinary citizen, motivating the management control of Representatives, a more active civic participation, and transparency in public work.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
A concrete example is one of our applications www.accesointeligente.org. In Chile the transparency law took effect two years ago, protecting the right of citizens to request public information. The system is not implemented in a civically friendly way, since there are over 300 government sites, and they have many shortcomings: a study by the Corporación Participa y Pro Acceso revealed that of 169 requests for information, 89 could not be made due to barriers in the online system.Acceso Inteligente (Intelligent Access) allows requests for public information to any government agency. The user may request, and search requests made by others, since all responses are stored. Thus, the user and government save time. The platform becomes, then, in a public citizen concerns bank: the content is built from the same citizenship, it is what the citizens ask the government. The platform also protects the anonymity and personal information of the applicant, which for legal purposes is always Fundación Ciudadano Inteligente (Smart Citizen Foundation) requesting the information. Thus, applications are driving demand for information, encouraging the monitoring and control by a more active civic participación, and more transparency in public work.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
In Chile there is no institution that uses ICT as we do, and the extent to which we do. There are institutions that monitor the Congress, but from their areas of interest (eg environment). We are forming a group with other organizations to complement each 9 in this work. Other broadcast live citizen marches, but we do from the air with a balloon, and ground with interviews. In LATAM we are coordinating with other NGOs, for example, we are developing a version www.votainteligente.cl election in Argentina in conjunction with Poder Ciudadano (Citizen Power).

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
In 2009 Rodrigo Felipe Heusser and Mobarec were enrolled in a graduate pprogram on Public Policy at the London School of Economics. Surprised at how some British NGOs began to provide public information, shared with other Chileans in a bar their experiences with other Chilean on the public worldand how they missed more transparency and rigor. After rounds of beer began to outline what could become an institution in Chile to take care of generating more transparency and accountability. At that time, Barack Obama performed the first great public data, and Chile was pending a law on access to information. It was time, and so they did not hesitate to assemble a team of eight people, putting 2,000 USD each, and start the first project fr the website, which should be running for presidential elections: Vota Inteligente (Vote Smart), based on the popular Project Vote Smart .
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
There are two groups of applications in www.ciudadanointeligente.cl: those that operate continuously and which have much impact in a short time. The former are www.votanteligente.cl (which has an average of 3.600 visits per month), and www.accesointeligente.org (with an average of 3.000 visits per month and a total of 566 requests for information in 4 months). Within the latter, Promises 21demayo had an impact of 22.000 visitors in three days and more than 30 appearances and use of information in print, www.acuerdoeducacion.cl 35.000 in five days, and the student marches are followed by more than 10,000 people with citizen globe. VotaInteligente Argentina's version will be ready by early October. In addition, in December we will "Developing Latin America," the Largest Latin American hackathon to develop applications that solve real problems in America, creating an impact and change in at least six countries in the region.
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
Nationally, we will expand our monitoring to the executive. We also hope to replicate some of our regional initiatives, growing social impact in Latin America. We plan to implement "Building America" once a year, so that helped to unite the community of web developers in Latin America, and assemble a portfolio of social applications of regional public utility. Our biggest project is Criik.com, a platform of public data mining throughout Latin America to help develop web applications. Criik.com is currently in development.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
The citizen ignorance about their rights to request public information, and the difficulty of communicating the tools available to mass citizenship. For the former we have already started networking with training organizations on rights issues of access to information, and for the second we plan to make an impact communication work, providing different information to traditional media, particularly through social networks . In one year we raised over 10,000 followers on twitter.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
Now it changes the relationship between citizens and the information because not only they are receivers, but transmitters of information, communications as a horizontal concept. Our foundation provides content and information that promote the release of information by the public. We are currently setting up communities, connecting web developers with Latin American NGOs, and releasing open source codes.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
Since we have the team and technical expertise, an alternative would be to form and advise a Latin American network to work for transparency and accountability, specifically through ICT, creating Web applications on a regional public utility. For this the relationship with the Latin American community of web developers would be crucial. Our role would be to bring together the available expertise and advise on management.

We have a financing agreement for two years with the Open Society Foundations for our platforms and www.accesointeligente.cl www.votainteligente.cl. In addition, we developed a training seminar and the World Bank and the foundation received a fee for it. We have earned an award that means money, a Golden Nica Prix Ars Electronica (10,000 euros).

Is journalism getting better or worse in the new media landscape? And what does that mean for democracy? During the Arab Spring earlier this year, new media seemed to not only generate unusually multi-faceted news coverage, but also play a role catalyzing the revolutions themselves.
Still, reactions to the state of news today continue to fluctuate between
anxiety and
elation. On the one hand, the digital age blesses us with access to more information than ever. On the other, the ability of the news infrastructure to serve the public interest seems to be threatened on all sides.
The free press has been long recognized as the life-blood of democracy; informed citizens are necessary for a just and functioning democratic state. But commercial networks are influenced (some would say enslaved) by market interests, and public media is vulnerable to political meddling and funding cuts. The new media is generative, iterative, disruptive, democratizing, and fragmenting all at once.
What’s the average American citizen to do? Where do we put our focus, energy, and money? How do we ensure that we get both the information we want and the information we need to be smart citizens?

Xinjiang Huiguang Innovation Technology Development Co. Ltd.
What change do you want to bring to the world?
The project develops the forest and fruit industry in Tarim Basin, as well as involving the public to eco-practice on protecting the environment. Cooperating with R&D Center and universities and applying “company+peasant association+cooperative” model, we develop low carbon cold processing of concentrate juice, and build green food cold processing base and environmental ecological restoration education base, which is very important for research in environmental science and biology, re-building of eco-environment, economy that is benefaction to people, cultivation of professionals and academic exchange home and abroad. Through professional lectures, leading education, live demonstration and technology demonstration, it makes students and the public to recognize the importance to stop the tr
What are the primary activities of your project?
1. Cooperating peasant association, we encourage peasants to develop water-saving organic non-pollution forest and fruit industry, promote the development of eco-forest & fruit industry, so as to improve the environment and contribute to global climate.
2. Via promoting cold processing technique, we can better save the nutritional value of fruit juice with no pigment or addictives, in order to promoting low carbon forest & fruit processing industry, providing healthy organic food to the society.
What is innovative about your initiative? How is it a new contribution to the field?
The whole project focuses on the combination of promoting energy-saving and environment-protection and desert economy industry, as well as advocacy of public initiatives. Due to the cooperation of two associations, we develop both processing and planting industry of forest & fruit, which benefit the environment; scientific research project on water-saving provide new model and experimental platform for water-saving agricultural industry, and opportunity for minority women to participate in equal cooperating development; Also, low carbon economy, tourism and other relevant industries have the possibility to be developed with innovation.
What stage is your project in?
Beroperasi selama 1-5 tahun
Tell us about the community that you engage? eg. economic conditions, political structures, norms and values, demographic trends, history, and experience with engagement efforts.
1. The project is mainly conducted in Kashi, southern marginal part of Taklimakan Desert. Sandstorms affect the daily lives and health of more than three million people there. Arid climate and few water resources, as well as being poor, people there are badly needed for eco-environment protection.
2. Kashi mainly consists of minorities. It enjoys a long time history, and people work mainly on agriculture and planting. Though it owning advantage of many crop resources, processing industry fall behind, and minorities do not know much about environment protection. With beneficial policy issued by central government, Kashi is going to develop the economy as a special economic zone; its environmental problems will surely become more. The key ones are sustainable development and cast off poverty for individual peasant.
Share the story of the founder and what inspired the founder to start this project
As a key part of western arid region, Xinjiang has a week eco system though. Over-usage of natural resources, mainly over-grazing and over-land reclamation, seriously influence the eco system. Minorities in Kashi do not know much about environment protection, and as a special economic zone, Kashi is going to develop the economy quickly, which surely bring about some environmental problems. The key ones are sustainable development and cast off poverty for individual peasant. In this way, we apply a “Business+University+Research Center” model. We hold education promoting in many types, including water saving and water resources usage, wetlands protection, energy saving, resources saving, sustainable development, pollution control, advocacy of low carbon life, and promotion of awareness and capacity of environmental protection initiatives.

We have build 13 professional technique associations and 3 cooperatives of peasants in Kashi, a 5000-acre eco base of forest & fruits, including 1500 acre red date, 2000 acre megranate and 1500 acre grapes. It is useful to protect local environment, improve minority skills and income, and lay solid foundation for further experiment.
2. We founded Business Science and Tech Association. Due to the cold weather in winter in Xinjiang, we develop the energy/resource of “coldness”, applying which we create the cold processing of high quality concentrate grape juice, which is low carbon, and energy saving.
3. We have our own patent, with number being CN101273790A
4. Cooperating with China Scientific Academy, Xinjiang University, Xinjiang Agriculture University, we founded Energy-saving Environmental-protection Unit Technology Innovation Center. Through developing effective energy-saving technologies, we create a sharing platform.

We have noticed how policy makers in Mexico don’t have enough information about the target population on their programs and these don’t work as expected, and how this population is eager to participate and share their ideas in order to solve the problems; however, there is a lack of a democratic channel that efficiently connects these two.
Yo Propongo engages the population that is affected directly by the issues discussed, therefore, it targets communities at a local level: mainly municipalities and cities. However, the model is replicable, and can be easily applied to a large number of small communities. The model used in Mexico City has already been successfully replicated in Ciudad Juarez, and will soon be replicated in the poorest 200 municipalities in Mexico. In this way, the final target is the whole country, and in the long run, the scheme can be carried out at a global level.

We saw evidence of the power and reach of social media tools and technology everyday, and it seemed just obvious to use them to create the channel we lacked.
Yo Propongo is a social engagement platform that, through the blog, the use of social media tools, and direct surveys using electronic tools – to increase the amount and quality of the information gathered - collects people's ideas for possible solutions to pressing social issues. It is based on the principle that the people closest to the problems possess valuable information on how to address them, and that by compiling a large number of ideas it is possible to construct an integral overview of the problem and come up with a real solution that addresses it through many fronts.
In this way we are tapping into the knowledge of the people closer to the problems, providing policy makers and NGO's with valuable information regarding the problems they are interested in solving. At the same time, we are engaging citizens to actively participate in the solutions to the issues that surround them, raising the level of civic engagement in a critical point of Mexico’s history, in which the social tissue is severely damaged.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
Technology is a key element of Yo Propongo, as it allows us to create effective channels for people to engage in a very easy way, which increases the level and depth of their participation.
From QR codes and SMS, to Facebook and Twitter, we try to be present in every channel used by the target population so that their involvement is natural and easy. It has also allowed us to analyze a massive amount of data without discarding valuable information beforehand, with a series of tools, from Google Docs to analyze the inputs in real time, to complex statistic suites to run tests over the data.
We are currently developing our own technology which will allows us to access populations which are digitally disconnected (which we do by more traditional methods such as urns) and capture and analyze their ideas immediately, preserving the raw data.
In this way, we have been able to penetrate in the daily lives of the participants, making participation a trending topic in the communities targeted, and not a random, unnatural incursion into their daily lives. Technology has allowed us to involve the communities in such a way that the project becomes theirs.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
There are other NGO's working on the issue in a similar matter. Some recent movements try to get people involved in a series of activities that rarely have an impact, such as sending videos or joining in a public square. Others have developed technology to enable people to get involved (mostly through Ushahidi), yet their approach is mostly technical. We have managed to develop a platform and gotten the people involved. Now we are all forging civic engagement and providing tools, in the future there might be a competition and only the most efficient platforms will survive.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
A couple of years ago a couple of friends and I had the opportunity to get involved in the planning process of a public program targeted at people our age. The policy makers showed in the first couple of minutes the lack of knowledge they had in the matter. Our ideas were extremely valuable and helped identify the flaws on previous programs. One of us was livetweeting the meeting and started receiving good ideas from friends and followers.
Then it hit! A lot of knowledge and information was out there, and people really wanted to get involved but policy makers, although they found the information valuable, didn't have the means to access it. Yet we had free tools and the power of media on our hands to collect the information and allow the population to work on a collaborative solution!

The first issue addressed was drunk driving in Mexico City which is the leading cause of death amongst the city’s youth. We gathered the views of thousands of young people and aggregated them in order to provide a wider view of the issue’s causes and its possible solutions. Succeeding in making thousands participate was the first major milestone. We have been collaborating since with the local and federal governments, the WHO, NGO's and now 65% of the ideas collected are being implemented.
In Ciudad Juárez, Mexico's most affected city by the current Drug War, we joined efforts with the Federal and Local governments to gather ideas to transform a now abandoned horse track into a public space that can function as a catalyst for the social transformation of the City. We managed to implement the platform in a different city and with a very limited budget, and we succeeded in gathering the ideas of more than 5,000 citizens, actively engaging them in the reconstruction of a gravely deteriorating society.

The project can be scaled up in three ways: by replicating the model locally in a larger number of cities, increasing the number of participants in each phase through technology-based improvements of the platform, and improving our research ability to have a deeper understanding of the information gathered.
We are currently working with the Federal Government on a plan to bring the platform to 200 municipalities. Our goal is to establish alliances with local governments and NGO’s so that the platforms remain running locally on their own after our initial implementation.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
The most important barrier has been the access to financial resources that allow us to develop our technological platform. Our young age and the fact that it was a different and not yet proved model, made it very difficult to find funding in the early stages.
However, due to our past success, we have been able to establish strong alliances with several branches of the Federal Government, and the project is now widely recognized by many NGO’s and others agents involved in social development, including private companies; the demonstrated success creates many opportunities for future financing.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
The next decade will certainly bring new tools and access to a greater population. We are constantly looking for these in order to add them to the platform, and build on the existing infrastructure so that more people can get involved. Yo Propongo is already proving to be an efficient channel between governments and their citizens, if it continues this way, it will fuel change through involvement and better communication.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
If our solution doesn't work as we expected, we can adapt our data analysis processes as well as our civic engagement methods to other applications such as marketing, open forums and polls, or a lower scale of cityhalls. There will always be a need of knowing what a population wants (for private or public purposes), and our tool is efficient gathering that information. It may be publicly or privately financed.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
The relationship is becoming much stronger with the Federal Government, and it is becoming a more secure and important source of funding. Despite this growing relation, we have looked for other ways to find funding.
Up until today, we have depended on corporations and the national government to provide our funding, since we didn’t have the necessary legal structure to receive tax deductible donations. However, in the past few weeks we have completed this process, and we are now able to receive donations that are tax deductible, which will allow us to find financing from many new sources.
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
We have built a partnership with the Federal Government to bring the project to the locations when it is needed the most, we have been in Juarez and are working on taking it to the whole country next year. We have partnered with the Mexico City Gov and a number of NGO's to implement the ideas gathered by the platform. We are creating a network of groups to further expand the project, in reach and technologically. Since its creation we have worked with ThinkTanks and researchers to create a solid model and implement the knowledge of similar projects.

The team is divided in three groups. The eight co-founders of Yo Propongo that make the general strategies and take care of direction of the whole team. In the second group are the students that are making community service with us, they come from the best universities of México City. In this semester we have more than 30 people in our community service program. The third group is made out of volunteers that support the Yo Propongo because they believe in it but they don't have a rigorous scheme of work. In this semester we have more than 20 volunteers.

Two in three Pakistanis are under 30-years-old, but their voice is missing from our national discourse. Pakistan has a vibrant media industry, 24 independent news channels and 300 newspapers. But all we see on TV is bombing after bombing; all we read in newspapers is petty, pointless politics. We don’t see the millions of stories of hope that our youth, our majority, carry with them everyday.
Hosh media was born out of the question: how do you bring the voices of 120 million young Pakistanis to dominate the national discourse? One answer would be social media; unfortunately Internet penetration in Pakistan is only 10%. That is where Hosh media comes in. Hosh means to awaken in Urdu, Pakistan’s national language, and our goal is to create enduring ties between the mainstream media and the youth in Pakistan, so they can have more impact and reach.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
Hosh media taps into students and bloggers who are online and takes their voices onto the mainstream media.
Contributors can log onto www.hoshmedia.org and submit videos, images and posts. Our production team-a group of well-respected journalists--take these crowd-sourced contributions, then curate and package them in to publish-worthy and broadcast quality news stories.
By encouraging collaborative story-telling and crowdsourcing, Hosh media provides a forum for the youth to explore issues that matter to them. And by publishing these curated and edited stories on to the mainstream media, Hosh gives more reach and impact to the voices of these young contributors.
I have worked with leading news organizations in Pakistan-Geo News TV, The News and DawnNews TV. I know from being on the other side, that all these companies want is a link to the youth and social media, but they find it difficult allocating time and resources for employees to curate content. Hosh media and its team of established journalists and producers fill that gap by curating and packaging crowd-sourced citizen reporting, for mainstream networks in Pakistan.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
On May 2nd, the world’s most wanted man, Osama bin Laden was taken out in a secret op by American special forces in Pakistan. Suddenly, the world looked to Pakistan, as a country harboring this century’s most lethal terrorist. But to most young Pakistanis the news was shocking and confusing. Facebook and twitter feeds were exploding with their sentiments, but the rest of the country had no idea what its younger citizens thought. 90% of facebook users in Pakistan are under 30.
Hosh media decided to speed up its launch and started campaigning to put its first story together. We recruited contributors through email, facebook and twitter. Within a week, we had videos, and essays defining various stances on the issue uploaded on our site, www.hoshmedia.org. Our volunteer editors and journalists then got to work, and curated the contributions into a multimedia story called “The Youth Speaks.” I called dawn.com’s editor and pitched the story. The next day, our first crowd-sourced story was published in Pakistan’s leading news site www.dawn.com. (http://www.dawn.com/2011/05/11/the-youth-speaks.html)
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
There are a few platforms in Pakistan that support citizen reporting, (www.gawaahi.com and www.seeandreport.com), but they do not support crowd-sourcing and do not provide a direct publishing/broadcast link to mainstream media in Pakistan.
The biggest challenges to our growth would be if mainstream media companies actively got into the social media space and established their own departments, mini-versions of Hosh media. The last few years, some networks have established social media cells, but they failed to integrate with the rest of the company. Our biggest strength is our work-flow & our team of volunteer editors and journalists that curate content.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
In six years, I covered countless bombings, seven hostage situations, three elections, three natural disasters, and a state of emergency. It was overwhelming for me a young journalist in Pakistan; I can only imagine how it must have been for the millions of other young Pakistanis. Our voices and aspirations have gotten lost in the fog of war and the chase for breaking news.
“So how do we bring about real change for 120 million young Pakistanis?” A year ago, I took that question to Stanford University, where I started a journalism fellowship.
Over the year, I brainstormed and fleshed out my concept with experts in media innovation and social entrepreneurship. And so Hosh media was born.
In March, Hosh media was incubated at Stanford's Design School LaunchPad. We were one of 11 ideas selected from 80 applicants to participate in the 10-week class. In May we launched!
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
As we were putting together our first story on Osama Bin Laden’s capture, one entry stood out.
20-year old Shahid Saeed is studying Electrical Engineering but his true passion is “Tarikhnama “or “Record of History,” his blog. His entry was powerful and detailed the Pakistani establishment’s failures in the whole fiasco. I sent it over to the editor of Dawn, Pakistan’s leading news outlet. It was published as an Op-Ed piece. The young blogger is now one of their regular contributors and plans on switching majors to History.
Hosh media has impacted that individual (he is now our archivist); it also has the power to transform an industry.
As Pakistan’s first crowd-sourcing initiative, we provide curated citizen reporting for mainstream networks. Essentially, we are trying to create an AP (Associate Press) type newswire based on bloggers instead of reporters. We are making youth voices, a largely untapped market, easily accessible to the media industry.
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
We hope to make the media industry in Pakistan more representative of the majority, the youth, by giving young bloggers bylines in the mainstream media and by providing bloggers the tools to be better journalists through tutorials and mentoring.
Mainstream outlets can pick up our talented young contributors as regular contributors as Dawn.com did with Shahid. And for the bloggers who are still rough around the edges, our first batch of video tutorials in Urdu is in the works. Our goal is to bridge the gap between blogging and journalism, and any blogging site can make use of our tool-kit.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
Our greatest barrier so far has been funding. Hosh media is currently a bootstrapped initiative; I have been putting my own limited resources into it and have been relying on a network of volunteers-cum-journalists to push it forward. But we need to start compensating these individuals for us to be sustainable in the long run, also we need to hire a full-time coordinator to help recruit contributors, and manage the production process. Hosh media is in the process of getting registered in Pakistan as a non-profit, and we have started applying to some grants to inject some necessary capital into our initiative.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
Pakistan is already the fasting growing cell-phone market in the world, and experts predict that within a few years all cell phones will be smart phones. Hosh media will soon need to customize its platform and introduce mobile apps, so that our contributors can directly upload content from their phones onto our site.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
If we fail, it will either be because we can’t recruit bloggers or because news organizations want to create their own social media cells. In the first situation, we will need to change our approach, by picking up content from social media sites, asking permission from bloggers, then producing content. In the second situation, we could pitch our services as an out-sourced “curation” team.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
In our business model we charge mainstream networks for content. So far, we have sold four stories to dawn.com for $350 (two video stories for $200, a multi-media for $75, a photo-story for $75.) We plan to keep up that revenue stream and slowly expand story production and the number of news outlets we are selling to. There are 300 newspapers and 24 independent news channels in Pakistan, so the market is huge. At the six-month and 12-month point we hope to raise two rounds of $10,000 funding to hire full-time employees and procure editing equipment. To be sustainable at 24 months, we project that we will need to earn at least $2,500 a month to break even. We are confident we will be able to reach this capacity within two years.

India has 691797988 electorates spread in about 4500 state assembly, 545 parliamentary and almost a million village/town level local self government constituencies, with about 400 political parties and atleast 10 contestants for every seat. Officially 4000 million US$ and unofficially 40 billion US$ is spent every 5 years in these elections. There is free media with multiple news channels. Yet elections are often not about issues or any concrete proposals to address these issues. The elections last less than a month with focus on swaying people with talk of everything other than their issues around democracy and development. Political Parties have failed to bring unacceptably high level of poverty, malnutrition and inequality in the electoral/policy agenda. Women and poor find it difficult to contest elections. While India successfully conducts free and fair elections, there is need to bring more focus on issues and policy proposals during elections.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
Theoretically political parties and politicians are supposed to undertake democratic education, identify interests, aggregate and articulate these interests/issues. However over the years, in India political parties have become centers of money and state powers often in the hands of a few families. They have also created collusive nexus with other important institutions, which are supposed to maintain a healthy separation of power. The citizens even when they are organised in groups often look upto the political establishment for patronage of some kind or the other. The solution equips existing civic groups such as SHGs, issue based groups, village councils already working in a given constituency with the capacity to analyse the functioning of each level of representation on an ongoing basis and to frame their demands in terms of actionable legislative or programme changes in line with the roles of each level.
To address the disconnect between people and the political parties, who are the most crucial determinant of what gets represented and how, instead of working on regulating the behaviour of the parties through legal or political measures, the solution focuses on providing an alternative citizen centric way to alter the electoral agenda in any given political constituency.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
The model trains a critical number of citizens approximately 100 already engaged in some form of socio-political activism in any given constituency on 1) analyse the functioning of each level of representation 2) framing their demands in terms of actionable legislative or programme changes in line with the roles of each level 3) election related specific services such as organising meetings, conducting surveys, formulating local communication strategy, delivering communication products and undertaking logistical coordination 4) basics of democracy, rights of minorities and underprivileged
It also creates a local democratic knowledge center by reviving any existing public library in the area.
Such trained citizens can provide superior election related services to existing political parties in a cost effective manner, while obviating the risk of underselling his/her vote for a few dollars under the pressure of poverty.
They will also ensure that multi candidate meetings are held in various parts of the constituency on pre identified issues. They can set the terms of discourse during elections much in advance. This will transform the way electorate communicate about their issues to the electoral candidates in parliamentary and assembly constituencies both during and in between elections.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
The solution clearly tries to do something that in an ideal setting political parties should be doing. Our positioning is not confrontational, it is envisaged that over the medium term some of the trained citizens would get co-opted by the parties.
The Media covers elections for a very few days and has a big city or urban center bias. The incidents of paid media have become all too common for mass media to be trusted as an independent voice. However this initiative may provide more opportunities for Mass Media to have more authentic and rigourous local information

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
Nidhi started Democracy Connect as an experiment with a single Member of Parliament (MP) in 2005, moving on to working with several MPs across Party lines by providing them research support to be effective legislators and public leaders.
Amongst sections of Indians the terms politicians, politicization and politics have come to acquire a negative connotation. Further popular participation, especially during elections in India has not been fully translated into wide ranging developmental gains. She is engaged in investigating ways and means by which the highest potential of Indian democratic system can be realised and has increasingly come to believe that the inspiration and push for more democracy will have to come from the citizens' space and is unlikely to come from the political parties and politicians.
In 2008, Nidhi was awarded an Ashoka Fellowship for this work.

3 political constituencies, covering a population of almost 6-7 million will have active groups of citizens who will transform communication between voters and candidates by creating platforms for issue based discussions. These will start atleast 2 years before election undertaking considerable democratic education as well as developing a shared agenda for the region in the process. This will shape the political discourse in the area and will enable the candidates to present their case in line with this shared agenda thus increasing the likelihood of more action on this agenda post elections. There will also be local knowledge centers on democracy in these areas. The idea is replicable across all the political constituencies. The initiative will have to come from civic groups.

Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
I see more and more democracy coming in the space of internet based media. I also see more questions being raised about the credibility and independence of news channels and news papers, esp the corporate media.
The solution will make use of the internet, esp blogging to enhance transparency and accessibility of various discussions/surveys that happen during electoral campaigns through the project's intervention.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
Possibly will focus more on the public library aspect of the work and reduce electoral engagement. Hence the linkage will more be with academic and research institutions and less with politicians and parties.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
The funding for this work will come from three sources in the medium terms- 1) NGOs who are nurturing the civic groups looking for further capacity building 2) local citizens who see value in having a few citizens make elections more meaningful by doing specific ground work and 3) political parties who use the election related services
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
The initial partnership would be done with NGOs, Micro Finance Institutions and other loose or organized citizen mobilizations. Most of the poor in India do have their own networks with politicians and political parties.
We will not be partnering with political parties in this initiative as that would compromise its neutral character

India is worlds largest democracy.The most pressing issue for this democracy is engaging people to the process of policy formulation. The discontent was very visible with the currnt agitation regarding a bill.The problem with the agitation was that most of the people were not even aware of the provisions of the bill.There is an agency working towards the same with the right intent.The problem with the agency is that even with the intent it is limited to a niche category of people.The people involved have been legislatures,lawyers and few passionate people.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
The solution I propose:
-create a platform for acts,pending bills and consultation papers
-make all of them simpl,easy to understand and how they are going to impact you as the person to be served
-create specefic sectors
-create region specefic
-create forums to discuss
-making people understand how the laws will be formulated and apply to communities
- create suggestion box for pending bills and consultation papers
-show the public profile of representatives ie legislatures in respect of their bill performances
-show the parliament profile for the same
-create mobile database to track ur specific bill.
- create easy solutions for business,property,family,will and other day to day legal issues to attract crowd.
- back it up with offline forums in schools,colleges,social meetings in cities and village panchayats
- create sector specific and region specific groups
-Discussions where participants help each other understand the issues
The main objective is demystifying the bill,classifying its content and impact population and again classifying the people incharge of passing the bill,their opinion,impact people opinion and expert opinion.The whole platform shall work in the form of an active social network.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
example of the new land acquisition bill:
-The bill is presented on our platform in the most simple manner specifying the points the bill contain.
- We create the online discussions for the bill.
- We let people know and discuss how the bill will impact them
- The people discuss it and form a advocacy groups through our platform
- Land acquisition is basically a struggle between ever expanding people in or moving to cities without lands with rural people without land.
- We take the discussion to the cities and villages through our offline discussions and tracking their views.
- schools and colleges play the role of a learners and volunteers and normal participants as public.
-Reports are created with suggestions and objections forwarded to the government.
-government gets the views of all the people whom the bill shall impact directly or indirectly.
-People could track what each of their representative is doing or saying for the bill and how their suggestions were incorporated.
- keep the resource section for articles and some expert opinions to get better opinion.
Thus we created a lobby of citizens who could influence the passing of bills and object to provisions after the knowledge of the bill and engaged the youth for the same.

In the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan media outlets of all kinds are often funded by religious and political groups. Because of this the media outlets often publish information with a corresponding agenda. And the result can be biased reporting that aggravates conflict and which has little in common with the high standards of a politically relevant, independent media.
For PLURAL Media Services, promoting a thriving media economy is essential to the establishment of a thriving media, one which can assume its proper role as the fourth estate, holding the government and others accountable.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
PLURAL Media Services bridges the gap between local and international business and the most significant media houses in new and developing markets. PLURAL Media Services brings advertisers to newspapers, radio and television stations and by doing that PLURAL promotes their independence. Through PLURAL's support, a business finds its target audience in developing markets and local media access customers with no political bias.
PLURAL Media Services offers creative excellence in communication, in developing markets in the Middle East, Afghanistan and in North and East Africa
The services provided by PLURAL include:
media planning and media sales
media and market research
concept development and production of campaigns
As PLURAL Media Services is a sister organization of the non-profit Media in Cooperation and Transition (MICT), it benefits from years of local experience. Since 2004 MICT has implemented media development projects in post-conflict areas. MICT has worked in the Middle East, Afghanistan and North and East Africa and has offices in Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt and Southern Sudan.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
Plural Media Services cooperates with in-country research institutes to gain solid information on markets and target groups. In cooperation with these partners, we conduct checks on the distribution and reach of print, radio, and television. We also provide individually tailored analysis of target audiences, media and consumer behaviour along with market studies and industry reports. We also analyse the impact of advertising in the various target markets.
We strongly believe that an independent media is essential in every society. They hold governments accountable, represent the demands and interests of citizens, verify information, and reflect economic and social developments.
Despite this, truly independent media outlets in (post-) conflict states and crisis regions are usually rare. This is due to undeveloped advertising industries.
Through their advertising efforts, businesses pursue economic goals. But with their communication efforts they also bear a responsibility, a responsibility for the emergence of an independent media landscape from which they themselves could eventually profit.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
Competitors are small local media planners and larger media planning specialists in the area. For example, ADLINE in Lebanon.
(http://www.adlineonline.com/ADlineMedia/default.aspx)
But often one finds that larger businesses prefer not to become involved in countries where the politic situation is still precarious. They cite reasons such as the inexperienced media and little real payback for their efforts. Meanwhile smaller, local agencies are too inexperienced to be very attractive to international advertisers. And therein lies our window of opportunity.
Our close relationships to the independent media outlets in the countries in which we have experience help us assist our customers to find the right media partners.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
I was in Iraq in 2005 when due to the bombing of a shrine in the city of Samarra, sectarian conflicts between the Sunni Muslim and Shiite Muslim populations there flared up. The local media, which used to play a positive role in Iraqi society before , became more partisan. And it seemed as though media outlets were simply parroting what associated political figures, religious leaders and warlords said. I saw that if the media was not independent and not professional, it played a seriously negative role, fuelling sectarian conflicts like this and hindering the social development of a country. Because the media was financed by people with political ambitions.
It became obvious to me that editorial integrity was not the only important thing. Financial independence was also key, not only for media organisations in Iraq but also in other countries that were in similar situations, facing some kind of conflict or war or trying to evolve a democratic system.
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
We started this summer with a small paid advertising campaign on eight Iraqi radio stations and newspapers. We paid €10,000 to the media outlets for publishing our adverts. And this was even though the outlets didn’t have much experience with advertising before. The campaign firstly helped the outlets understand the way advertising works and secondly, gave them immediate financial support.

The demand for effective mechanisms of democracy is immensely large, but that demand is woefully under-served. It’s far easier for people to join in voicing a loud and clear “No!” to a pressing common grievance than it is for them to sort out their abiding diversity and coalesce around new solutions once the grievance is gone. This is true at any scale. It applies as much to the victors of the Arab Awakening as to residents of any neighborhood dealing with zoning and development. We already have the right urges. The basic habits of democracy have been with us since our ancient African origins. Just as members of clans gathered to choose their champion singers and dancers, viewers of reality television now pick theirs. But a 21st century democracy worthy of the name will require tools that are massively scalable, impeccably fair, and profoundly useful. Indaba is the Zulu word for "important meeting." The modern sense of the word is "collaborative venue." The challenge of a world without dictators is to accumulate the tools, skills, and practices by which we will finally succeed in learning to govern ourselves, bubbling up the best of what we have to offer.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
An effective strategy for building a toolkit appropriate for robust, modern democracies requires solving a new kind of needle in the haystack problem.
Say the world needs a new needle. Immediately, massive numbers of people start throwing ideas into a pile. Most are so poorly conceived or expressed that they're no better than hay. And, good or not, many are essentially similar. The result is a giant haystack.
The challenge is to encourage the best needle inventors (and their constructive critics) to collaborate in forging truly brilliant new needles, while keeping hay off the pile. My solution is an interactively crowd-sourced social moderation mechanism.
1) Its content entry interface would force novelty, ensuring that a minimal number of needle and hay duplications are added to the pile. Display the extent to which a proposed entry matches a predecessor, blocking any posting of outright duplicates.
2) Needle vs. hay sorting would be applied as soon as an item is added to the pile. Anyone can help sort, but no one can add an item until he or she has already sorted an assigned allotment of preceding entries. Inculcate habits that favor signal over noise.
3) Provide visualizations of the sorted results in order to illustrate coalescence of preferences. This part of the solution is already in operation as a ranked choice voting service at AmericanQuorum.com. It is designed to provide the fairest possible method for vetting options in multi-candidate elections, and is engineered to advance the principle of coalescent bubbling.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
The model for coalescent bubbling used at AmericanQuorum.com (and all Indaba Application Network sites) is drawn from the ranked-choice/instant runoff (RCV) voting systems used for public elections in Australia and US cities such as San Francisco.
RCV is also used for many kinds of sports and entertainment voting. It offers several virtues in situations where voters are presented with many good or acceptable candidates, but no obviously dominant consensus choice exists. Voters submitting an ordinal list of preferences provide much more useful information than they otherwise could with a single preference ballot system. Moreover, the ballot mechanism now in use at Indaba Application Network sites presents voters with a set of candidates listed randomly in a single set. This precludes the early-out-the-gate leader-bias that occurs with Digg-like “buzz” voting and the overly simple thumbs-up rating systems now typical across the Web.
The ballot mechanism also provides for interactivity, giving voters a handy way to view text and media content regarding a particular candidate. Furthermore, the system is organized like an online townhall. Ballots can be amended until voting closes, enabling constructive give and take that seeks to emulate the best aspects of real-world face-to-face collaborative decsionmaking.

There are quite a few actors in what could be called the debate, deliberation and decision-making subset of the civic software space. Google Moderator is the largest. My approach has been truly distinct. Most seemed to have put their initial technical focus on the beginning of the process… collecting user generated content and attempting to map that content in some useful way. Collecting and organizing fresh dialog is undeniably important. However, faced with limited resources, I put it off, focusing instead on the end of the process… developing tools by which a community can usefully visualize its own consensus building actions. This has been a boon, granting me freedom to invent something that was truly unique, while benefiting from the mistakes that others have made in attacking a common problem.
Apparently only two or three other organizations have taken up the technical challenge of building a ranked choice voting interface, and only one of those seems to be under active development at this time. That organization seems to have positioned itself as a secret-ballot voting service, whereas my goal is to develop open venues that function as online town halls.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
This project is the direct result of my doctoral dissertation, which largely concerned the controversy surrounding the privatization of the Internet’s domain name system in the mid and late 1990s. Those events included the world’s first global election using Instant Runoff Voting, electing five members to the Board of Directors for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
During my research and writing, I had a front row seat to the breakdown of the famed collegial culture of the Internet engineering community. It was not unlike the move toward radical and paralyzing polarization that can be seen in the United States today. I wondered if there was anything I could do to solve the problem, combining my professional skills as a database programmer and my deep background in political science. How might it be possible to structure dialogues that bring together people of diverse views? The Indaba Application Network and the online collaborative venue project I have described here is the result.
Along the way I learned that Thomas Edison’s first patent was for an electric voting machine. It was a flop. I am honored to be working in such an esteemed tradition.

There are generally two kinds of reactions. One is, “What a great idea! Good luck!” The other, more common, is, “How are you going to make any money doing that?
An early iteration of this project, Choiceranker.com, was used to conduct frequent straw polls during the 2007-2008 presidential primary season. The information collected at that time was as good as catnip for political wonks, providing nuanced insights into the preferences of participating voters.
The first paying client for this system was a new Major League Lacrosse team based in North Carolina. Over 1100 fans ranked their choices for team’s new team name at a Facebook iteration of this project called WeVote.
The long-term benefit of this project depends on network effects. The greater the number of people using it, the more value it can provide.
It may be noteworthy that observers of the ongoing SF mayoral race, which will use ranked choice voting, have said that the candidates have been acting relatively civil toward each other, apparently in the hope of not alienating voters who might be willing to cast 2nd and 3rd place votes for someone who compliments rather than insults their 1st choice candidate.

There will be two ways to measure success. Will use of these tools, engineered to support multi-candidate voting events, help overcome the tendency toward demonization of opposites in a political process? At the same, time, will the quality of online discourse benefit, encouraging people to offer informed thoughtful ideas to their peers, secure in the knowledge that their submissions won’t be ignored in a noisy swarm?
The idea is replicable, but it would take considerable commitment to reach the standard of fairness and the drawing together of diversity embedded in Indaba's design.

Even though my primary motivation in pursuing this project is to help raise the level of political discourse, it’s clear that some of the tools and approaches I’ve developed can have much wider applications. To name a few multi-candidate situations where it would clearly be of use: 1) Reality show voting; 2) Mobile-based in-Stadium sports MVP voting; 3) Local media promotions for “Best-Of” competitions; 4) Corporate governance voting; 5) Educational environments where peer-driven judging of subjectively evaluated content is appropriate (essay contests, and so on), and; 6) Quasi-subjectively judged competitions ranging from Art Contests, Poetry Slams, and even the Ashoka Citizen Media Global Innovation Competition. (Wouldn’t it be nice to have better way of sorting through all these entries? What happens when you have to deal with 6,000 of them?)

Kebutuhan: Uraikan yang dibutuhkan oleh solusi dan ukuran/dinamika komunitas yang akan Anda libatkan.
Local TV stations in Palestine risk dying out due to expensive licensing, outdated technology and the market dominance of subsidized regional satellite channels. Palestinian audiences are growing steadily less connected to community-relevant local TV news, when TV remains the most popular medium for information and entertainment. Thedisconnect weakens public democratic debate on local issues, undermines information channels between citizens and power-holders, and shrinks spaces for social, cultural and political expression and exploration. The public know they are being short-changed -- local news online, such as Ma’an News Agency, are popular (1.2 million users in West Bank and Gaza), and offer vital information tools. When internet use is growing rapidly (currently 41%), TV audiences are high (99% own a TV), but local TV channels have declined (just 12% watch them), broadcasters have a responsibility to innovate rapidly to deliver content of public value in an accessible way.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
Ma’an 2.0 project aims to revolutionize the Palestinian media landscape through establishing the first independent, interactive online TV station website in the West Bank and Gaza addressing the deteriorated situation of press freedom and disconnection between Palestinians living in Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank and abroad. Around the world, citizen media has bloomed proofing its ability to transform communities while at the same time addressing specific community concerns.
Our project will found an online video platform for distributing, and sharing on-demand video content via web in isolated local Palestinian communities. Ma’an’s project will enable local media makers access new models of distribution and revenue-generation to increase self-sufficiency and creating new ways for citizens to participate in local democracy and civil society. Citizen media and dialogue is of particular importance given the fragmented living situations of Palestinian communities.
Ordinary citizens will benefit from access to high quality local TV news as well as moderated user-generated content, providing a multi-sided perspective of events and news from their community, about issues that are directly relevant to their lives. Local TV stations will benefit from a platform that provides them with a publishing platform which is also a source of revenue through advertising tools for local and national businesses, sale of content to the international industry and potential development of added user services.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
Ma'an Network seeks to harness an innovative media landscape that places marginalized groups and voices at the heart of media production in order to cultivate localism, to provide access to high-quality local information to all citizens and communities and to form a space for diverse voices and perspectives. Taking into account the fragmentation of the oPt and the disconnection between people in Gaza and the West Bank, new media technology is a unique opportunity to open doors for citizen participation currently not fostered by big satellite channels predominantly consumed by Palestinian audiences. One example is Ma’ans previous success in creating a culture of action and reaction through its lively comment-section on its news agency website. User-generated news video content particularly in the new project is a natural extension of Ma’ans previous efforts towards citizen participation and the connection of communities and audiences all over the oPt.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
Local and regional channels (regional players as Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya both have live streaming embedded in their news page) have found solutions to putting their own content online, either through third party hosters or streaming embedded in their news page. Our idea of aggregating deeply local news content, in conjunction with citizen video reporting, has not been broached yet. Citizens have found youtube a highly useful tool for content sharing, and in partnership with Ma’an as a local news provider, the project will organize and draw complementarity between professional and citizen content on a deeply local level. Looking at the growing market for internet users in the oPt in general, it clearly shows why it is so important to implement this idea right here, right now.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
Walking through Dheisheh refugee camp, one day I got into inspiring conversations with young Palestinians. Enthused by their excellent knowledge of political circumstances I asked them what their preferred channel of communication to the world would be. “Bringing our news from the camps to everyone who is interested- and this through the internet.” This idea seemed even more important to me, given the fact that in the oPt most local TV channels already got swallowed up by big satellite channels, who have unlimited pots of money, but do not focus on the local aspect of news reporting. “How can local news still be relevant and to the benefit of the region’s most marginalized groups?” I was wondering. The oPt have a high percentage of youth with 70% of the population under the age of 30 while having the highest literacy rate in the Arab region. It is marginalized groups like the people I met in the camp that currently have no national platform to engage in discussion and participate in local news conversations making their voices heard: The project idea was born that day, inspired within the targeted communities themselves - in Dheisheh Refugee Camp near Bethlehem.
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
Our project builds upon the organizations expertise in news reporting and management of diverse media projects. The development of an online TV station website is a natural extension to the organizations work and is set to become a pillar of its media offerings in the long term and for a broad audience.
“Ma’an 2.0 website” will have sub-pages with news content from each of the 12 governorates across the West Bank and Gaza. This geographical dispersion gives the organization a unique perspective from which to report breaking news in all these areas. As the only local media organization with a presence in both the West Bank and Gaza, Ma’an Network has an important responsibility to offer trustworthy news to audiences across Palestine, the region and the world. For example through Ma’ans live TV Talk Show “Face to Face” citizens questioned government officials and representatives in eight cities across the West Bank. Individuals participating in the show and other similar programmes were inspired to become role models for entire communities to make their voices heard and demand good governance and responsiveness.
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
The values of ethical journalism will be enhanced as will the appreciation for community participation in news reporting. Accountability in all sectors of society (including local decision making processes) will be increased through the production of quality, ethical and relevant news. Public debate on issues considered to be important by local communities is augmented, resulting in citizens playing an active role in the development of their society. Making our project replicable is of paramount importance to us: Showing an example of success through the new platform and ultimately working with regional partners as we grow (based in Israel, Egypt etc) is the ultimate goal. The success of our model can then be adopted by other media organizations facing similar challenges in the region.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
Working with innovate web development through this project will overcome technical capacity limitations arising from the difficulties of attracting donor´s support for web-development focused projects.. Over the past three years, internet use and mobile web has taken off in oPt. At the same time, blogging, youth protest and activism, slowly growing political openness and the expansion of independent media particularly through Ma’an programming in TV, online and radio, has generated a huge demand for self-expression and new forums to air issues of public interest. The market in the oPt now finds itself at a uniquely position of readiness for the launch of our project: More people have internet access and want to make their voices heard.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
There has been a considerable increase in access to the internet over the last 12 months. Access to wireless connection increased from 9% in 2010 to 24% in 2011, while access to ADSL increased from 55% in 2010 to 62% in 2011. Our project wants to bring local TV content online - demonstrating a new generation of web media content can add value -- in terms of democratic depth and financial sustainability of community information channels. The project will combine demand for internet-focused technology with communities’ unmet need for local news).
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
Our solution can work on a smaller scale, e.g. instead of expanding the local TV stations to all of the 12 governorates throughout the oPt, we can work in clusters (e.g. southern and northern cluster, Gaza, Ramallah) doing the same project and fostering the same principal idea, but with less participants and partners. If advertising revenues are not as strong as expected due to external factors, the project can still expand its user services in order to generate revenue. One possibility is to provide users of the online TV platform with subscription services to preferred content or work with multimedia messages (MMS services) in order to maximise audience loyalty.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
Ma’an Network has identified the following key revenue streams for this project:
1.Banner advertising: offering advertising opportunities through the online TV station website.
2.Video ads: offering advertising opportunities to clients directly within the online video broadcasts.
3.Sale of video footage: offering professional quality video content for sale to film makers, journalists and other relevant clients both locally and internationally.
We will also explore and test multimedia innovative user services as a revenue stream once we have a user base to pilot services with. In addition to that Ma’an currently seeks foundation grants in order to launch this project.
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
Ma’an Network is uniquely qualified to implement this transformative project, due to its track record in pioneering financially sustainable independent media in Palestine, and its experience in implementing groundbreaking media projects with key partners such as the European Commission, UNESCO and Search for Common Ground. Ma’an has eight years of experience in generating news content and cooperating with local TV-stations. So far we partner with seven local TV-stations aiming at expanding the range to twelve within the first year of the project.
Jenis tim apa (staf, sukarelawan, dsb.) yang akan memastikan bahwa Anda meraih tonggak prestasi pertumbuhan yang diidentifikasi dalam bagian Dampak Sosial?
Ma’an Network is lead by a team of media professionals and project managers. The organization is guided by the Board of Directors and General Assembly, who bring extensive experience and a dedication to furthering trustworthy media in the oPt and help to appoint suitable staff for new projects. The following staff will be recruited to play key roles in the implementation of “Ma’an 2.0 project”: Program Manager, Local Content Moderators, IT Network Manger, Media Asset Database Manager, Business Development Coordinator and Local Business Coordinators.

Cooperation with other media organisations, initiatives, journalists and civil society organisations is of paramount importance to us and the success of our new project. Given the fact that substantial scope exists to upscale and replicate the project across the region in the future, the need for cooperating partners is clear. Thinking bigger, Ma’an Network can offer other not-for-profit media organizations located across the Middle East and other regions, professional and targeted training and support, assisting them to develop a successful economic development model which will allow them to generate revenues using new media tools.

Sithi.org: Cambodia's First Human Rights Database and Web Portal

Berapa lama Anda terlibat dalam operasi?
Beroperasi selama 1-5 tahun
Kebutuhan: Uraikan yang dibutuhkan oleh solusi dan ukuran/dinamika komunitas yang akan Anda libatkan.
Cambodia suffers from a widespread and flagrant disregard for human rights, and recent years have seen alarming trends in relation to repression of civil and political freedoms, as well as governmental crackdowns on access to information. The Sithi.org online portal provides users a unique opportunity to access human rights material. By increasing the availability of data and information, Sithi.org facilitates sophisticated evidence-based dialogue and advocacy in order to enable civil society and other stakeholders to more effectively improve the situation of human rights in Cambodia.
The intended short-term beneficiaries of Sithi.org's information and capacity building elements are non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) and Civil Society Organizations ("CSOs") themselves, though the results of this Project will eventually benefit all Cambodians. The digitalization of data means that the actual reach of the information shared and disseminated through the Sithi.org portal goes beyond just Cambodia, and to those interested in human rights globally.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
As the only comprehensive Cambodian human rights information-sharing portal and the first initiative of its kind in Southeast Asia, Sithi.org is an innovative and valuable resource for NGOs, CSO’s and other potential stakeholders. Sithi.org encompasses digitalized human rights data, issue analysis and information gathered through the work of CCHR and other NGOs and CSOs in Cambodia, as well as from regional and international human rights organizations and international bodies. The portal is designed to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of information pertaining to human rights by those interested in and/or working to promote and protect human rights in Cambodia. Sithi.org is thus a unique online one-stop shop for information on human rights in Cambodia, including human rights violations maps, publications and media reports on human rights issues, relevant laws, and practical information such as directories of civil society actors, funding agencies and state institutions.Sithi.org is designed to change the way in which CSOs in Cambodia monitor, document and use information on human rights – moving away from decentralized bureaucratic processes dominated by large NGOs towards a centralized, specialized and collaborative approach resulting in more research and analysis, and more innovative ideas for policy, legislative and structural changes.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
The Sithi.org has earned particular recognition for its mapping of human rights violations. Using Google Maps, CCHR has created digitalized maps that present information on human rights violations across Cambodia in an innovative and user-friendly format. The maps on development trends, for example, have been accessed online and used by the media when reporting on Cambodia’s increasing problems with grants of economic land concessions. These maps have also been used by NGOs when conducting advocacy. For example, the maps on land concessions were used as part of a report to the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
In addition to Google maps, the Sithi.org Project has created static maps that visually document specific human rights violations in a set and specific category. So far the Portal includes static maps on journalists killed in Cambodia since 1993 as well as a static map on reported rape cases across the country since 2009 and land conflicts between 2007 and 2011. The Sithi.org team is developing maps on violations of freedom of expression and maps of acid violence in Cambodia. Sithi.org is the only access to such visual representations of human rights and other violations, as well as the corresponding data, in Cambodia.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
Sithi.org is unique, as the only human rights web portal that provides comprehensive access to Cambodian human rights information, laws and analysis. The founding vision underlying Sithi.org is that it enables the entire community of Cambodian NGOs, CSOs and individual human right defenders to cooperatively share information and reports at one central clearinghouse for data and ideas. CCHR encourages the entire human rights community to work together to contribute to and improve Sithi.org, thus progressing cooperatively towards common goals rather than wasting resources on duplicative individual efforts.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
The development of Sithi.org came as Cambodia was suffering – as it still does – from a systemic disregard for human rights while decentralized bureaucratic processes meant that the development sector was increasingly stagnating due to a domination of established large NGOs. In 2008, CCHR implemented the Database Project, designed to streamline and improve the ways in which CSOs in Cambodia monitor, document and use information on human rights. This project was the inspiration behind Sithi.org, as CCHR saw an opportunity through a human rights portal to move towards a decentralized, specialized and collaborative approach resulting in more research and analysis, more innovative ideas for policy, legislative and structural changes. The idea behind the project is to encourage civil society organisations and others working on human rights in Cambodia to be more collaborative and therefore effective, and to increase awareness and understanding of human rights in Cambodia in order to mobilize action.
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
Sithi.org's greatest social impact to date has been its systemic facilitation of inter-NGO cooperation and innovation in Cambodia. As noted above, trend maps from the site have been used by numerous NGOs for advocacy work on land grabbing, corruption and social land concessions. Improving data and analysis sharing within the NGO community also enabled CCHR to partner with 16 other organizations in 2010 to release a widely-reported joint civil society study of freedom of expression entitled "Cambodia Gagged: Democracy at Risk?” A vibrant, informed and systematically cooperative civil society will greatly benefit all Cambodian citizens.
Furthermore, Sithi.org has greatly increased the overall availability of information on human rights issues in Cambodia. By September 14, 2011, Sithi.org had received over 261,844 visitors. The human rights portal has been accessed not only in Cambodia but also across the world, including from the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Germany and Singapore, among others.
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
We want to increase the amount of information available – spanning the panoply of human rights set out in Cambodian and international law. The ultimate goal is that all the information that is needed in researching human rights issues in Cambodia will be available under Sithi,org’s roof. In May 2011, for example, Sithi Project staff met with SEACeM staff to share their experiences administering a human rights web portal. In addition, Sithi.org has been incorporated into the South-East Asia human rights portal. With information about human rights violations across South-East Asia now available on one portal.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
Extremely low levels of internet penetration in provincial Cambodia have hindered the ability of one of sithi.org target audiences –ordinary Cambodian citizens to access Sithi.org. This reduces the impact of Sithi.org to the extent that many individual Cambodians cannot reach the website. To overcome this challenge, Sithi.org is focusing on reports and analysis that will benefit civil society organizations that can actually access the portal, and whose work will in turn aid ordinary Cambodians. While internet penetration remains low, it is growing at speed.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
The IT sector in Cambodia is developing fast. While penetration remains low, access to broadband internet is becoming increasingly common in urban areas. Young members of Cambodia’s growing middle class are extremely web savvy. This demographic group will make up Cambodia’s leaders of tomorrow. Through sithi.org CCHR seek to foment amongst them an increased sense of social responsibility and awareness of the situation of human rights.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
The collaborative nature of sithi.org means that through partnership there are a number of different applications that could be pursued to encourage greater traction. For example, with the documentation of individual human rights violations, this could be partnered with relevant organisations both domestically and globally. Also it could be promoted by the use of on the ground training on human rights.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
Sithi.org could diversify revenue streams by promoting the brand with merchandise. Sithi in Khmer (and in Thai and Laotian) means human rights and, as such, there are a number of merchandise initiatives that could be undertaken using the word Sithi. This would also help to strengthen the sithi.org brand and help it gain further traction. Also sithi.org could encourage users of the portal to donate to it’s continue development. The most important element of sithi.org is that as an information sharing website it remains free for its users. Selling advertising space would also not be appropriate as this could lead to perceptions of a lack of independence.
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
Whilst there is no formal partnership arrangements for the implementation of Sithi.org, collaboration will be key to improvements regarding the functionality of the Portal as well as for the collation of information that will be disseminated through the Portal. To date CCHR has collaborated with a number of stakeholders such as human rights NGOs, state institutions, IT specialists, donors, academics and researchers to build and promote the Portal.

CCHR has created a strong and innovative web portal that is being used by a number of different stakeholders to access and disseminate information about human rights in Cambodia. Yet, more work is required to develop this new approach. The improving of the Portal itself will help strengthen Sithi.org to build on momentum to maximize the rapidly growing user base. Further developing and improving the Portal could also access a vast untapped audience for the dissemination of information on human rights in Cambodia.

One of the biggest hurdles for small media organisations trying to set up newspapers in transition and post-conflict states is finding the money to buy a publishing system that can deliver to print and all digital platforms; the cost for those not tied to big business or political interests is prohibitive.
Media organisations are increasingly required to deliver content to multiple platforms. They need to distribute content to whatever device the user turns to in order to access information.
Superdesk is the publishing solution for the multi-platform age. Superdesk offers broadcasters and publishers of all sizes the opportunity to exploit content across all revenue-generating devices using existing resources and without incurring extra costs.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!

In addition, it is print-friendly and can deliver well structured and well formatted content to specialized tools (e.g. Adobe InDesign, or legacy commercial newsroom systems), and is able to import final versions of content back. TV is important too. Superdesk is broadcast-friendly, delivers well structured and formatted content to specialized tools (e.g. playout systems) and is able to import their outputs back.
Superdesk focuses on content filtering and processing functionality - it provides an environment for quick processing of external sources of news/information with “ingest” - rewriting/translation editorial control - and “digest” - easy simultaneous publishing on multiple platforms. It provides revenue-generating components (e.g. classified ads, listings, data/content syndication) for the web, and is able to deliver those also to traditional platforms.
With Superdesk, independent media organisations are able to take advantage of external content hosting and delivery services (Youtube, Vimeo, Livestream.com, Soundcloud.com, etc.) without getting locked in. Superdesk allows for the inclusion of citizens in the news process via social network components.

Proprietary systems exist as developed by Tera, Atex, Octopus. However the cost of these completely prohibits small to medium independent media enterprises in emerging markets using them. No equivalent product to Superdesk is known, certainly not in the open source world. The existence of other CMSes is actually a plus point for Superdesk. Superdesk enables various existing systems to communicate in a new digital newsroom.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
Sourcefabric grew from the Campware suite of free, open-source tools that has been helping publishers and broadcasters worldwide for more than 10 years. Having implemented projects over the past decade, providing valuable support to independent media in countries as varied as Indonesia, Belarus and Sierra Leone, the founders recognised the value, flexibility and power of open source software. With the onset of social networks, digital publishing and citizen journalism, the logical next step was to develop a tool specifically for the newsroom and Superdesk was born.
Tetapkan kekuatan dan skala dampak sosial solusi Anda hingga saat ini.
The Superdesk idea is currently in development, but already is having an influence on how Sourcefabric is developing its other media tools. Several features have begun to be integrated into Newscoop, Sourcefabric's content management system, and future integration is planned. Newscoop powers over 150 large, professional media organisations worldwide, many of whom are already benefiting from the Superdesk philosophy. Opinion-formers are already evangelising about its potential.
Leading media consultant (BBC, Al-Jazeera) David Brewer said this of Superdesk: "It's a dream come true for me. A group of international developers working on a free, open-source tool designed to power a converged newsroom concept based on a centralised superdesk. (It's) a tall order and a massive task, but already the team at Sourcefabric are well down the road of delivering on all the above. Once they do they could become the publication tool of choice for all who want to deliver a content offering across multiple devices without having to break the bank to do so. And that could be a massive boost to the establishing of an alternative voice where independent media is absent."
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
Superdesk will become the leading open source newsroom tool for media organisations globally. Initial impact will be among newspapers, radio and TV stations in emerging markets, plus local news organisations in more developed media climates. An open source codebase means the software will be free and a growing community will continually improve the project. Organisations can develop or commission new features, creating a secondary economy around improvement and implementation for developers, engineers, systems administrators, designers and media consultants. A professional, paid hosting service will allow organisations to leave installation and maintenance to experts and will ensure financial stability for the project.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
A lack of development resources meant that, previously, an open source newsroom software was not a possibility. Any resources the organisation had were invested into the development of Newscoop which already had professional users. Sourcefabric was launched in late April 2010 with generous start up funding, which allowed us to plan our core activities well into the future and begin Superdesk development.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
If traditional media companies, and especially mid-size or small ones, are to survive, they have to be ready for any eventuality in the industry. Superdesk opens up management thinking to emerging platforms. It makes any media operation multi-platform by default (with nearly unchanged staff). It increases productivity, decreases processing time of news events, provides an ultimate insurance policy against diminishing returns on any platform (e.g. print) and taps the full content-generation capacity of a media organisation.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
Firstly, interoperability with Sourcefabric's other open source software products for media organisations will be built into Superdesk as standard, meaning that should the idea fail to gain traction, our other software would 'inherit' the features.
Secondly, given that the codebase is open source, the project could also be given over to 'the community' to maintain - allowing adaptation and improvement to take place on that basis.
Thirdly, once the product is developed, enterprise-level modules and features can be developed for major media, meaning that even if wide-scale adoption does not take place, project-by-project integrations can take place, with appropriate resources being budgeted for in a bespoke fashion.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
Sourcefabric and Superdesk will have three key revenue streams:
1) Start-up funding. Generous start-up funding in April 2010 has allowed for dramatic expansion over three years and the implementation of a business plan to maintain financial sustainability.
2) Partnerships and donors. Sourcefabric is working with a number of partners throughout the world who fund specific media projects. This funding is often used to develop the tools being used (like Superdesk) and then the improvements are committed into the public versions of the software.
3) Software as a Service (SaaS). Paid hosting and support for our software will become a significant revenue stream in 2012. Our first SaaS programme's infrastructure will pave the way for Superdesk SaaS and launches in October 2011.

Blog Watch spent a few months promoting voters education and providing a criteria in choosing a candidate. We can only do so much since our reach was limited in the last election. I believe that voters education should not start during election season. It starts now. The most influential source of information in choosing a President in the last May 2010 election: television at 63 percent while internet sites at 0.2 percent. Family or relatives account for 16 percent.
TV plays a more crucial role in informing the public about voters education. Is TV doing its job? There was scant coverage of development/policy issues as they were reported only eight times by the three news programs during the period reviewed. There are roughly 24 million internet users who comprise the bulk of the electorate. If 0.2% was the influence of online media, we hope to reach out to 16% of the electorate through social media. Since the influence (source of information) of Family or relatives account for 16 percent , online information will be a useful source to share to friends. There are about 50 million registered voters.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
Our role in Blog Watch as a citizens' transparency and good governance watchdog is to continue citizen-voters education through our feature articles, use of digital media, user generated content and spreading our information in our social media networks. Our reach may not be as wide as TV but we hope that as the growth of our pool of membership , and internet users increase, we can somehow influence our young voters towards responsible voting and become watchdogs of good governance.
Voters' education has long been part of electoral reform as early as the 2002 National Electoral Reform summit with its long-range target, to develop a critical mass of mature and discerning voters. We want to contribute to this target.
We plan to undertake voter education programs by taking advantage of the online practices of the youth such as producing video telenovela and uploading it in Youtube. The series is a daily 10 minute show running for perhaps 10 hours or more. It will depict an engaging plot that one cannot tell that the movie is conveying a subliminal message on good practices of the electoral processes.
Telenovela is popular in the Philippines. Telenovelas have been used repeatedly to transmit sociocultural messages by incorporating them into storylines. Combining a mainstream telenovela format into an online medium that is popular with the youth is innovative.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
The youth sector which comprise more than 50% of the electorate often use the internet. Using an engaging format like a telenovela to deliver the message in voters education in their favorite social media such as youtube, and sharing it in twitter or facebook will most likely catch their attention.

I could not help feeling dismayed that this country would rather vote “for some guy who, we know merely as the son of two politician parents and whom foreigners find agreeable.” There was an expression of longing for honesty, decency, and democracy at the funeral of our former president Cory Aquino. It baffles me on why it should mean that this automatically transfers to a son or a daughter by means of heredity. Further more, the electorate chose to vote celebrities, or who had some show business background in the Senate slate.
I acknowledge the fact that people have personal choices yet I believe choices should be based on an informed process. It is also about assessing the risks and choosing which risk is most acceptable to the electorate.

There are roughly 24 million internet users in the country who comprise the bulk of the electorate. We hope to target the youth sector in the 81 provinces in the country through the social media users who live in that province.

In the recent months, Blog Watch breaking tweets have made it to traditional media. We Interviewed seven (7) presidential candidates in the May 10, 2010 elections and some senatorial candidates, congressional candidates and a few local candidates. We also covered the first Inaugural of President Aquino, the very first citizen media coverage of its kind in Philippine presidential inaugurals. We also covered President Aquino’s first SONA, first 100 Days and the EDSA 25 celebrations. Traditional media sometimes picks up our breaking stories from our twitter timeline and that first broke in Twitter. Tri-media can help us spread our solution too.

The shift is towards emerging media. What works today will not be effective tomorrow. In the Philippines, the trend of sharing news through video and texts has produced many breaking news stories on public television. I think videos will always remain a favorite among our youth. TV will be replaced by online TV some day. This is where we in citizen media comes in as we create positive influence and pressure on society and on mainstream journalism.

Journalism is in crisis and needs a new model. Not only that, people are not responding to each other and communicating, only when they hear what they like. Serious debate about our problems are hard to come by. Communities are not as cohesive and sometimes forget the problems they have in common. Therefore, communities need a space where they can debate, share, collaborate and create, while being able to eventually be trained by the amount of positive participation they partake in. Those who participate in a way that creates content that has a positive contribution (decided by other members) will have the opportunity to increase their understanding of how media works, as other members who are participating guide them through the process, and thus, fill a niche of information in a community where there was virtually no journalism of any kind at all. Community members can become journalists in Costa Rica, as they interact with the process in Amauta, and that is the need our community would address at the moment: that of disbanding the monopoly of information. For now, we are trying to interact with a small community of information activists, and experiment together in this process.
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
People, anyone, can contribute content freely in Amauta. However, freedom comes with consequences, and depending on your actions, you will receive feedback from other members of the community. Depending on how that level of positive participation is determined by the community through reviews and votes, members will be able to get more responsibilities and tasks to participate in the next level. However, when other members facilitate others' participation, that is also considered positive, and so, would hopefully, bring about incentives for people not to be left out of the process. As members progress in level (and find other people from outside to get included), they will get trained in the aspects of content creation, and also, in bringing communication to their community. We are, in this way, engaging in providing a platform where anyone can collaborate in, but also, in a system where someone can learn their way into the possibility of becoming more than just a mere consumer of news, but a true actor of information. While members progress in their levels, and have more to learn, they will become empowered and at some point, be able to create their own independent media. Also, the content created is measured in similar terms, where people vote through certain criteria to determine what should be highlighted at a particular moment, but always in a way, that this important information comes from different sources so there is a variety of voices. Since users decide how information is allocated as important, creative and such, they would be the beneficiaries of it.
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
Someone will write, and it will be published. Yet, whatever they write does not gain legitimacy until a certain number of people in their geographic community decides it speaks to them. If it does, it will go the next geographic (or topical) level, and so on. These are decided through certain criteria (credibility, creativity, etc) that can determine how this community measures quality. So if a person writes an article, it won't gain any ground, until other people from her community (geographic or topical) votes, reviews or gives feedback on her article (or other creation). Also, the person won't have a good measure of positive participation if they do not do other activities like comment, vote (which would be an essential activity), etc. The key would be to have a variety of tasks so there is also a variety of participants. Technology helps because it would create the framework and platform for this interaction. This would all be different from other types of collaboration that are measured in other systems because this one guarantees progress in capacity building and fuller empowerment of their media space, as long as there is constant positive participation (measured by the way it creates further debate than not). In other words, if users have difficulty at first with writing or other activities, they would still be able to participate in a similar level-playing field if their participation is measured not by just the quality of the information, but by the time, genuine effort and other factors determined by the community. Opportunities would open up through engagement.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
Basically, all media are potential peers in the sense that, as organizations, they can participate in the collaborative system that we are trying to develop. At this point, open-sourced and collaborative media systems like Wikileaks, Wikipedia and social network sites like Twitter and Facebook offer some challenges because Internet users are already sucked into them. It is hard for them to move beyond their comfort zones regarding certain "trustworthy" media. In this sense, many of this systems that paved the way make it more difficult for up and coming social media to come through with new ideas. Unless, of course, they totally change the way media is created (as Wikipedia did), or the way information was distributed (as WikiLeaks did). In that sense, these past media systems are just helping us evolve their ideas. And I would believe there are no competitors because we feed from each other to learn from each other and grow, not to shut down good ideas.

Kisah Pendirian: Kami ingin mendengar tentang momen “Aha!” Anda. Bagikan kisah tentang tempat dan waktu saat pendiri melihat solusi ini berpotensi untuk mengubah dunia.
As I was studying journalism in college, I realized that we were in a moment of transition in the field. The profession as is is dying, and no one really was excited about becoming a journalist anymore. Not only that, it really did seem antiquated: the idea of objectivity being decided by one person, as if journalists don't have their own biases. You could see those biases in the news all the time by the way certain topics and people are portrayed. So my friend Carlos, who is also a trained journalist, and I teamed up to create a space where anyone could express themselves as unadulterated as possible. Bot how do we allow everyone to participate, with minimal censorship, and yet still create valuable, credible information of quality? Another colleague, an information technologist, joined up and has helped us understand what technical potentials exist within the Internet to create such a space. The rise of citizen journalists, the ease with which almost anyone can share their thoughts, made us see the opportunity of tapping into this movement and organize a way where all these elements can interact in solidarity so to learn from each other, grow, and understand each others' views.

At the moment, we have been in contact with different information activists in Costa Rica and the United States that have given us advice about our project, and will offer support once this model starts its experimental phase. The magazine itself, Amauta, already has a following because of the diversity of views and because of its original approach to sharing these views. In Costa Rica, Amauta is at the cutting edge of applying technology to interacting with information. Though it is not much, for such a small production as ours, we have some 500 users a day. We have been doing some community outreach through contacting several organizations to partner with, and also, through a feature we call "Hablando con la Gente" ("Talking with people"), where one of our colleagues interviews someone in the community that would normally have no access to Internet or still is not familiar with blogging tools, so they can also express their point of view, even if they have no access in creating it themselves. As we do this more, it will help us become a familiar and trustworthy medium of expression in San Jose.
Apa dampak proyek Anda dalam 1-5 tahun ke depan? Apakah ide Anda dapat digandakan? Jika ya, bagaimana caranya?
At the moment, without the adequate funding, the impact of the project would be relative. For now, we are all volunteers working to create this space. We already have an online magazine where anyone can contribute. However, we are going to experiment with existing open source tools to create an experimental space that would shape up the organizational structure that will eventually become the way people would interact in the web site. With no funding, the project could show some considerable impact in the communities in four years. With funding, we can increase our efforts and perhaps have something developed in two years. The idea would be replicable since it could be used by any media, as the technology behind it would be open source, and users could create their own versions of Amauta.

Rintangan apa yang menghalangi keberhasilan proyek Anda hingga saat ini? Bagaimana rencana Anda untuk menanggulanginya dan tantangan lain sementara Anda mengembangkan solusi?
Since at this moment, the members involved in the project are volunteers, our barriers have been time and money. However, as our project begins its experimental phase, and we see that interest in communities begin to grow, our community partners will help us out with some financial and logistical support. And also, as the project grows, motivation by the members to increase efforts will increase as well.
Menurut Anda bagaimana tentang perubahan sektor media dan teknologi informasi satu dekade mendatang? Bagaimana solusi Anda akan beradaptasi untuk mencerminkan lingkungan yang berubah? Sejauh mana solusi Anda akan menjadi pemicu perubahan itu?
Media will have to incorporate their readers' participation somehow for it to become sustainable. People nowadays expect some interaction with their spaces, and not passive consumption of information. In this way, our model of facilitating participation, and encouraging people to own their media spaces, would be a model that fits into this changing pattern.
Kegagalan bukan pilihan. Jika solusi Anda gagal menarik perhatian dalam dua tahun mendatang, penerapan ide semacam apa lagi yang dapat Anda gali?
Since the project is being developed through an experimental process, there is an open-sourced contribution to the structure of what the idea will be like. For now, the idea of creating an organizational structure for participatory creation of information within a Costa Rican community has some basic principles, but which can change if in the trial and error process we receive feedback that needs us to adapt. The project has general guidelines, but it is flexible to the needs and wants of the community, which means it will never have a final result, but will always be changing and adapting.
Perluas pilihan Anda, jelaskan bagaimana Anda akan mempertahankan pendanaan.
As I mentioned, the project is being supported on a basis of collaboration among individuals and community organizations, mainly, but not limited, from Costa Rica. As the project becomes more successful, we hope foundations and some other organizations will fund us. However, the project itself just needs money for the initial building of the technical infrastructure, and also when we are needed to provide training of use of the media we developed and in the continuation of outreach to the community.
Ceritakan tentang kemitraan Anda:
We are in contact with different media and journalists around the world that allow us to use their articles, and some of which are advisors for Amauta. We are also part of the network of alternative media in Costa Rica (redmica.org), and have a strong relationship with the Free Software Movement in Costa Rica, which will provide us technical guidance and expertise.
Jenis tim apa (staf, sukarelawan, dsb.) yang akan memastikan bahwa Anda meraih tonggak prestasi pertumbuhan yang diidentifikasi dalam bagian Dampak Sosial?
We have a core of four members that will take care of the direction of the project, from community outreach, design, media tools and programming. The person in charge of programming will guide the technical part of the project, and will probably need to hire two other programmers to support the work. Community outreach will be done through volunteers from the partner organizations, and we are hoping to recruit around twenty people from diverse backgrounds that would be interested in constantly testing the site.

As mentioned before, we are an all-volunteer group at the moment and would really appreciate financial support so we can focus our energies on this project. But money would be less of an issue if get volunteers that can help us out on administrative tasks for the project, getting the word out (marketing) so more people come and experiment with the space we are trying to build, research on tools that might apply to the ideas, or other collaboration in identifying better ways to apply those ideas. Also, we welcome any ideas that can improve on our own, and guidance in the process of putting them into practice.

IDEA-PRESS. An Idea- Sharing Interface (Website, Phone & facebook Application)
Pilih tahap yang paling sesuai untuk solusi Anda:

Berapa lama Anda terlibat dalam operasi?
Masih dalam tahap ide, namun segera akan meluncurkannya
Kebutuhan: Uraikan yang dibutuhkan oleh solusi dan ukuran/dinamika komunitas yang akan Anda libatkan.
Good Ideas that we think of, in passing and never do anything about, can benefit ones community-city-nation-humanity,IF they are shared. The need is to create Intellectual Connectedness through the web.
Sharing of consumer insights, products modifications, new ideas, innovations, invention & research possibilities, will be made EASY through this web application. Ideas could be uploaded as words, photographs, sketches or even video clips sent through phones, emails or web entries.
WHO NEEDS IT?:
1.People with the good ideas which they cannot explore themselves: Educated, internet using people- students, home makers, working professionals, who don’t have the networking/resources/ time/other physical-technological barriers to develop their idea into a sales pitch.
2.People looking for good ideas: Those who seek new ideas due to creative blocks, industry looking for feedback on products/concepts, or think tanks looking for seed ideas, NGOs looking for projects to develop, or Small business owners looking for the pulse of the people to name a few.
3. People looking to add intellectual dimensions to their social networking profiles as 'thinkers/ideators'
Solusi: Jelaskan apa yang ditawarkan oleh solusi Anda dan di mana sisi inovatifnya. Bagaimana nantinya solusi Anda diterapkan oleh pengguna atau yang memanfaatkannya? Spesifiklah!
The solution, IDEA-PRESS has 2 parts:
1. It is a website , which is a compendium of ideas that are easy to share. The website will be like a craigslist of broad topics displayed. Simplicity of display is a key concept.
2.As an Application in mobile phones and social networking sites, as a tab in google's main page. These can be searched by topic,date,rating etc on the website or even via google like the case of blogs.
METHODOLOGY:
Since ease of sending the Idea is the key, the Application and the website must allow text/sms inputs, one line ideas, images, photographs, videos, movie clips, emails. The moment it seems tedious, working professionals hard pressed for time, or fleeting ideas that have potential, would all be lost
Like Wikipedia, users will enter the ideas/information for free. The website team shall sort for inappropriate entries and will ensure proper display. These ideas will then be categorised, grouped and rated. These will also be available for 'search'.Proposed display and website design is attached in media tab as jpegs.
Development of the website over time can yeild to developing an inhouse think tank which fine tunes the idea and sells it to the appropriate industry to sustain funding.Incentive driven royalty program for such ideas can also be encouraged.
To further the publicity of this concept, TV programs such as discovery channels 'invention' can be launched to showcase the thought process for ideas/innovation with experts critiquing each proposal .
Model: Beri kami contoh spesifik tentang cara solusi Anda menciptakan perubahan melalui penggunaan media dan teknologi informasi.
Specific Scenario # 1:
I am a high school student with a futuristic idea which needs further researche toards sustainable energy solutions: eg, At the gym, we could produce electricity because of all the effort put in mechanically by users running on a tread mill or cycling. Our physical effort could generate some electricity while gaining health benefits all at the same time!
Now, I simply make a sketch of my idea and share as below:
1.I shall go onto the Ideas-Press via phone application or website.
2.Sign up as a new user with a verified email id or go via a social networking Application
3.Choose the category in which the idea might best relate to: Government, social, medical, arts, Engineering, or new heading tab.
4.Enter the idea as a sentence continuation of “ My idea is...” I can upload a video, image to additionally best explain my idea
5.Fill out optional data like: potential revenue model, Users and Hit submit
6.The website shall warn the user that the idea will be screened for obscene language, inappropriate material and therefore shall take time to appear on the listing.
7.Besides the above stated, the language grammer and content will be screened for quality standards of the website. If the user has not entered an idea, ie. It is an inane statement or blank sentence, the user is sent an email for clarification.
8. After which it is displayed and the 'in house' IT team makes sure repeat ideas are warned of previous entries.
Pasar: Siapa rekan dan pesaing Anda? Tantangan apa yang dapat diberikan oleh para pemain tersebut terhadap keberhasilan dan perkembangan Anda?
A successful website is ‘ideas worth spreading’ http://www.ted.com/ which proves that the core concept is very successful. The point of difference is that Idea-Press intends to be more inclusive and viral, by casting its net across subjects, demographics, people, languages and countries.
Websites like http://grandideas.mygrcity.us/ , are closest to Idea-Press in concept and some display aspects. The point of difference is, the graphical organisation of the posted ideas and its topic specificity.
The ease of sending ideas and searching/access is key which is the successful part of this website.
A not-so-successful version is http://www.youridea.com/ ,based on the same concept but has no display of existing ideas and is an example of how a launching only a website may not be as successful.Linking it to phone and networking applications will boost its visibility and usability.
Also world accesss to the concept is important because India is not as internet savvy as other countries in the world and the success of Idea-Press is numbers driven.
