HASATAC (Humanities, Arts, Science Advanced Collaboratory), Digital Media and Learning Competition | Program Coordinator, HASTAC, Digital Media and Learning Comp | 0 United States
I am a representative of HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, Technology Advanced Collaboratory, http://www.hastac.org). We are big believers in participatory philanthropy. In fact, Changemakers mission to leverage social innovation and web 2.0 to address social problems is a perfect example of the kind of participatory learning and collaborative problem solving that we strongly advocate. We have just launched our $2M 2008 HASTAC/MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Competition (http://www.dmlcompetition.net , deadline October 15th).
The theme this year is participatory learning which we are defining broadly as using new digital media for sharing ideas or planning, designing, implementing, or just discussing ideas and goals together. In short, doing exactly the kind of work that other Changemakers are doing!
This year we are awarding projects in two categories, Innovation in Participatory Learning and Young Innovators.
The Young Innovator award is targeted to individuals aged 18-25. We want to help take their wow idea from garage to implementation. I know many Changemakers would probably be very interested in applying!
The Innovation award is for larger scale projects and has no age restriction. This year we are piloting limited international eligibility (hoping to open it further next year) and can accept stand alone applications from twelve countries (U.S., UK, Japan, Mexico, China, Russia, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa, the Netherlands); application teams and collaborators can be from anywhere in the world.
These awards could really be life-changing for someone, helping to get that perfect project off the ground. I want to make sure I am getting our rfp out to the right people, those for whom the award would be a dream come true.
