3 more days till SenseCamp Europe where the MakeSense gang meets Prof. Yunus!
This video trailer was created with footage from SenseCamp Berlin by Stan from the Berlin gang.
Trailer for Kenny’s upcoming documentary “Be a Changemaker”: First footage from his 7-month social innovation trip to Europe and Africa!
This is such an awesome piece of work: highly inspiring and it sent a shiver down my back! It was great to see a bunch of familiar faces as well!
awesome playbook from the sandbox network. highly recommendable, lots of great advice for changemakers.
pretty awesome: a bike made out of cardboard - for less than $10! it’s strong enough for a person as heavy as 300 pounds, resists water & humidity, and it doesn’t look all to bad either! (thx, reset!)
what is your wish for the city 2.0? share it with TED!
We are listening to them and giving them the opportunity to collectively craft a wish. A wish capable of igniting a massive collaborative project among the members of the global TED community, and indeed all who care about our planet’s future. (Individuals or organizations who wish to contribute their ideas to a TED Prize wish on behalf of The City 2.0 should write to tedprize@ted.com)
openIDEO explained- a platform for collaborative innovation for social good. and there’s quite an active community! jamie oliver’s challenge, for example, received 584 inspirations that generated 194 concepts!
seems to incorporate lots of pieces from design thinking- both have quite a lot of potential to create some game-changing innovations for the better.
the other day i mentioned biomimicry and how important i believe it to be. perhaps one of the most famous proponents of this is gunter pauli, who i had the chance to hear talk at this year’s (wonderfully organized) vision summit. pauli is the mastermind behind ZERI and the blue economy- a visionary entrepreneur and author with a fascinating mind. in this video he visits günter faltin’s laboratory for entrepreneurship and talks about biomimicry (sorry, it’s in german):
not only is pauli a huge fan of learning from nature, he’s also strongly believes that a massive wave of entrepreneurship will lead us towards the future. to push this movement forward, pauli shares his extensive knowledge of exciting and disruptive innovations, and presents 100 business models that just need driven individuals to implement them:
what i like most about pauli is his impatience with solutions that ‘do no harm’ and his insistence on solutions that have highly positive impacts. this kind of broader (re-)thinking highly resonates with me. and it reminds me that i’ll have to write a post on cradle-to-cradle soon.
