@nadia wanted a list of relationship-related topics for the current social media outreach efforts. So @anu searched through the platform content and created one, but tagging with the appropriate cat2-* “dimensions of wellbeing” tags. You could go through the full tag list to find them, but for your convenience we’re also providing it here:
This is the story of an organization that started small, with a big idea. Build Nepal started 8 years ago in Tarakeshwar, Kathmandu with a vision to be a “community instrument through which the people can do for themselves”. Working in northern suburbs of Kathmandu, one of the rapidly urbanizing area of Nepal, Build Nepal has grown into a not-for-profit organization solely devoted towards community development. As an extraordinary contributor in community development of Tarakeshwar, some of its …

The opportunities can then soar. It is Thursday and I get in touch with Kamal Bhatta. He is a filmmaker, actor and an activist and most recently, he has been actively involved in the project #Act4quake. Through funds that was about 14000K, the initiative managed to reach the depths of Earthquake stricken region, all thanks to volunteers who worked hard. This is a great example of citizen driven earthquake relief that scaled up considerably. Their work is interesting but it is best i…
Recently the worst fears of Romanian medical state infrastructure came true. Hexi Pharma, a major company selling disinfectants to hospitals all over the country was discovered to have diluted their products even 10 times from the labelled concentration, to the point of causing infections of thousands of patients in the system over the last years (news here ).
This is just scratching the surface and confirms deep system fail: (1) underfunding and horrendous infrastructure making large numbers of…
[image] I’ve known Anush Babajanyan since 2006 when we worked together preparing the World E-Summit Awards in Yerevan. She is a dear friend of mine and recently she is the co-founder of a new project called 4Plus . The aim of 4 Plus is the development of Armenia’s photojournalism and documentary photography, as well as raising awareness about issues in Armenia through photography. In their work they touch many social issues in Armenian society, which are challenging and inspiring for the people …
Future Makers Nepal is coming close to operating three months in Nepal now. That’s three months of working towards an online community of alternative leaders. But progress is still slow. So what is it that makes building communities or other social movements in Nepal so difficult? Is it difficult in general?
These moments of frustration are valuable because you allow yourself to see things more clearly. I just discussed movement building again with @Natalia_Skoczylas , and we arrived at some int…
No one could have thought of a more appropriate name for a citizen driven initiatives – Nepal Rises, which has almost 4000 members in its Facebook Page , has come a long way from being a proactive group of concerned individuals to a visionary community of dedicated team. Nepal Rises prominently worked on managing and coordinating the supply-demand chain of medical supplies, sanitary supplies, and volunteers in the initial few days of the earthquake. Currently, they have become a legally registere…
A while ago the Edgeryders organisation applied to an open call asking communities to come forward and test some new tools for making sense of large scale conversations. The rationale is: the better we are at this, the more we can facilitate crowd-driven social innovation.
CATALYST, the network running the initiative, is itself a collaboration developed under CAPS (Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation), a topic funded in FP7 and Horizon2020 European research p…
There is a TV channel in Matera completely dedicated to art, culture and MT2019. Go talk to them, please: @RitaO can make the connection. You can simply walk to their office, tell them about LOTE4 (and Fabrizio, Amelia, Robin etc.) and ask them would they like to do something together on that. Offer to help them with liaison. Thanks!

Based on this discussion , I am seeing a possible opportunity. It works like this:
@gracia , @Ndelo_Peter and @Christina_Jordan want to establish this family transition center. They seem to appreciate the kind of cheap "hi-lo tech" popular with edgeryders because it provides relatively simple solutions for Northern Uganda, which does not have high quality infrastructure.
@Marc , @LucasG and many others in the ER community are fascinated by the same tech, but we don't have many opportunities to d…

thanks!@owen @noemi - stories for social media to drive participation in OpenVillage festival. Have a look at which ones are most relevant and appropriate? - then ask for help to push them out in French & Dutch with #openvillage ? We should do the same in the Arabic Facebook group with a “learn more about x in the workshop” @hazem
