TIS Weekly (#108): Social Innovation Challenge

[July 2nd, 2017]

Onto a new theme: Social Innovation! And I bet you read the title, so here’s the challenge: find me the best example of social innovation you can find (tag us in Twitter or Facebook). I promise to share your video in the next newsletter. And no, it’s not as easy as finding videos from robots, 3D-printing or sports innovation. Social innovation is all around us, but it’s often not documented in video. Such a shame! Do share these examples with us and let the global TIS community be inspired :)

Women empowerment through photography

Since 2013, Lensational has provided photography training and ongoing support to over 600 marginalized women in 16 countries. They create impact by teaching illiterate women how to express themselves and by teaching them skills that could lead to a steady stream of income.
