The rise of digital activism has had profound effects with regard to the redefinition of power, the role of NGOs as intermediaries, the emergence of new actors and the challenge of seducing new generations of activists. In this rapidly changing context, new windows of opportunity are opening up at the intersection of digital tools and storytelling. This inspiring talk explores the ways in which individuals and organisations can launch viral campaigns on social media platforms and develop tools for accessing and sharing information transparently for the purposes of fundraising, spreading awareness and modifying consumption habits.

This session took place within the framework of the executive training programmes organised by ESADE’s Institute for Social Innovation. For more information: http://esade.me/1NbvJEY

To achieve the SDGs we need to innovate, we need to do it at scale, and we need to do it fast, for the most vulnerable people, including refugees. To get there our organisations - big and small - will need to be collaborative, adaptable, but also rapidly radically open to cultural change. Using tech, using partnerships sometimes help with the how. We increasingly need to focus on diversity to make innovation more accessible, more sustainable, and more effective for those who need it.

Living in a wealthy country does not mean that every person can live their best life. Whether you live in Barcelona or Bangladesh, the SDGs are for everyone. Social innovation is for everyone too. Interconnected and systemic challenges need solutions to match. So why does the social innovation community rarely use SDGs as a frame to drive discussion and action? How can we make sure the lessons and the experiences of the social innovation community benefit people outside of our own echo chamber? Louise will explore how foundations, businesses, universities, NGOs, and civil society organisations can all play a more systemic role in contributing to tackling the SDGs, and helping more people to live their best lives.
