I am presenting Spot The Future at Foresight for Development. What should I say?

networking is BIG

collaboration comes within the networking .

yes its hard to put ur finger on and spot it and it continues  or even starts after the time frame of the project .

some other examples  @simam is doing her workshop for kids in @labanita 's Rasheed 22 coworking space .

@Dina visited @Abdo 's workshop and possibly some collaboration will happen in the near future .

for me I am waiting to come back to cairo to meet and possibly collaborate with @asmaa_kamel or @labanita  in the educational field or with @amiridina and @monarizk in the participatory planning or the NGOs CBOs thing and link some networks who r not on the platform .

this approach this much different than the one challenge to solve or a prize or something , and not all changemakers who r also not mapped with the UNDP or other institutes didn’t join because of different reasons ( being busy with their own challenges , didn’t see this initiative going anywhere , don’t trust the big institutions or even don’t think about themselves as "changemakers " or underestimate their work , or for the language barrier which is still an issue ) BUT actually reaching some and networking will create a mass that attracts others and it is working as we can all see  . but as mentioned its hard to spot and hard to evaluate as it is a naturally grown thing not a prize to win or a proposal to deliver.
