Imagine a country in which governments monopolize the opportunities to help make people’s lives better—to improve education or the environment or the lives of the elderly for example. That’s pretty much the situation in most countries today, despite the work of philanthropies and foundations. Now imagine a world in which there are many more “leaders.” Imagine a world in which 50, 60 or 70% of us were working on social problems and turning them into opportunities. We can describe that world on paper, but what would it look like on film?
Ashoka, GOOD, and GeniusRocket are partnering to develop a film which visualizes OR captures the sentiment of an Everyone A Changemaker™ world. We want to invite people to share and participate in this emerging world; indeed, it is only through the mass participation of people in all parts of the world and from all walks of life that such a world can emerge.
We envision a world where everyone has the self-permission to create positive change in their community, and where our collective intelligence and initiative will allow solutions to outrun the challenges we face.
We know this vision is not always easy to communicate, and are excited by the potential of film to help people understand and see the role they could play in such a world.
We are looking to you, our community of supporters, to create a video which makes this Everyone a Changemaker™ world accessible.
The Challenge: Create a film which leads up to and closes with the question: “How is the world different because you are here?”
The winning filmmaker will be paid $3,000 for their work and be featured across all Ashoka's digital platforms as well as at events and through our partners.
Check out all the details at the GeniusRocket site.
