Color Your World With Kindness
|
|
| Delight in this gorgeous animation designed for children and adults alike by ‘A Better World’. The film portrays how small acts of kindness can positively change the feelings and attitudes of others and how naturally this will spread, grow and flourish within our communities and beyond. The Better Worldian’s strategy is to plant flowers instead of pulling weeds, cultivating the goodness in everybody, so we can all make it a better world. |

Rethinking Philanthropy for Social Change
The thinking behind philanthropy and solutions programs has been: “Define a problem, design a solution, and measure its impact.” Then create a framework, and replicate across many other areas.

It means seeing communities not as beneficiaries but as collaborators. And it means understanding that the best solutions are co-created, not prescribed.” { read more }
Be The Change
Seek out a place of creative incubation with others in your community. Make a space for the seeds of creativity and innovation. Plant them, and water them. See what wants to grow there. |
