Innovative response
BrightSpots is a non-profit project supported by internationally renowned organisations and developed by a crack-team of educators, futurists and designers from around the world. Brightspots has three stages:
1- In this first phase, people are invited to share BrightSpots you see in your communities or find online.
2-In this second phase they invite people to get involved in the development of future scenarios where some of our BrightSpots become more luminous.
3-The third phase will be focused on helping our global community explore the many scenarios developed and work together to create a shared vision of a better future.
Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact
Covid-19 has made many of us feel like we’ve been plunged into a real life disaster movie. However, among all these dystopian headlines there are bright spots; pockets of positivity, new projects, community initiatives, or technologies that have emerged from this crisis.
This solution will allow people to submit examples of positive initiatives generated in the COVID-19 crisis. It also designed so that these initiatives can eventually be scaled up into actions to help prepare the global community better for the future.
