What We Do
We create environments for innovation and system change.
We address the most challenging social and economic issues through innovation alongside local people and communities.
We then seek to transform the learning from this into systems change.
How We Do It:
Turning problems into ideas
We reframe problems and generate new ideas with local people.
Creating new solutions
We create environments for people to produce, test and present solutions together.
Changing system conditions
We grow and spread the solution into the ‘mainstream’ and change system conditions.
“We enable exchange between experts from communities and the system, with a diversity of mindsets. They solve problems through ongoing exploration and learning.”
