We support all social entrepreneurs, meaning people making innovations to empower the public, but also invites participation from the public to hear. We just brainstormed. At that time only one room was functional, and nobody used this space.
Physically, this is my office, the Social Innovation Lab, which is part of the larger Contemporary Culture Lab. It’s a space that used to be Air Force headquarters around two years ago.
PDIS is Public Digital Innovation Space. The space is both online and on land. We don’t have underwater science yet, nor in space.
Sure. In any order you prefer.
Dyne.org also?
But they are the same content?
Go ahead.
Awesome.
That’s right, using the gauze projection.
Yeah, I’ve heard of these people but we haven’t worked together on a project.
Yeah, but I didn’t know what it stands for.
Vaguely, vaguely.
How do you spell it?
That’s right.
Yeah, of course, of course.
Yeah, very much so. Looking forward to it.
Thank you.
No, it’s fine.
It’s something that people can very easily do and say that they are doing. Figure out some call to action like that, I think, is paramount.
If you can figure out some call to action as part of the message on the market, for example, if people can just subscribe to something and start something. For example, going vegan one day per week, that really took off. It took off very, very well.
That’s right. I think it’s not exactly not new, it’s just, we don’t know what to do on that day. There’s no immediate call to action, right? Like last year, it’s that our action are the future. That was the theme, but there’s no very easy call to action here ...
Yeah, I’d love to.
Yeah. If you have posters or whatever, you can also send graphic files to me, and I am happy to just put on my office for free advertisement to get people just enrolling.
I’m happy to offer the venue and things like that.
I think that’s usually the better way, as opposed to asking three representative coming to Mexico City, which as you mentioned, it really gets lost in translation. People can’t really go back and start spreading the word without their audience already immersing in themselves a little bit of the context ...
As long as you, it’s open to the public, and you can say which SDG it correspond to, the venue is free for you to use. You can host, I don’t know, 100 people or more, if needed. Then we make sure that the people have watched this video and ...
Like, “You must watch those three talks before coming.” Then we can just provide for free the space of the Social Innovation Lab, which is free of charge for you to use. Many people use that for this kind of thing.
I know. Maybe the better way is that, for after you come back, organize a sharing session. Then people, it’s like a flipped classroom. People will be required to see through the playlist, maybe you curate.
I don’t know whether it will be recordings or live streaming.
Sure. If there’s live streaming, I am sure that most public servants prefer watching the live stream.
In Mexico City?
Where would that be next March, like physically? Have you determined a location?
Let’s just stay in touch.
This is beyond administration. It requires a law change to fit the international norm. This education campaign, I think, is the most important to establish as the new norm of food continuation. I’d love to help those personally, as in recordings and videos, as well as in my official capacity, ...
Once the atlas include Taiwan, or if you are translating into Mandarin Chinese, after the next round of members of parliament, maybe it will be time to start some education for the parliamentarians as well.
Yeah, anything you would like to…
Sure, of course. At your convenience. The TAEF will be around for a long time.
Just send me an email with that agenda, or tentative agenda, and I will forward it to the TAEF.
We’ll be fine. [laughs]
Yay, OK.
No, the Social Enterprise World Forum will be four-day long. I will just be trapped in Addis for that. It’s my first time, so it’s good.
No. It will be my first time in Addis Ababa.
That’s great.
Oh, you’ve been, too?
I’m sure that you can leverage each other’s network very efficiently, because it’s essentially the same social entrepreneurs that you’re looking at. Maybe some of them have enrolled in both programs. I’d love to put you in contact with the AEF. As for myself, I will be in Ethiopia at ...
They have programs for civil society connectivity, for youth leadership, for regional resilience, and so on. They also run their own cohort, and they do training camps, and whatever in Taiwan.
Exactly the same countries.
I’d love to put you in touch with, for example, the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation, which is the main foundation to run the new southbound policy. We target exactly the same countries.
Sure. You mean that it’s in the weekdays before?
