foster innovation for the resilience of communities
Description
The innovation:
IdeasBox by BSF and Communitere are scaling-up their operations globally and are working towards a joint project in Greece, in a mobile format responsive to the fluctuating context of migration. As we model what an ideal empowerment space could be:
- where NGOs, local businesses and experts could come together to create bottom-up solutions designed in the field,
- where users themselves, whether populations affected by disaster or conflict, or aspiring young innovators from outer urban areas in developing countries, could shape their own future;
we invite you to participate in defining how these new approaches to humanitarian response and development strategies could be measured.
