Welcome Note

It gives us great pleasure to extend to you all a warm welcome on behalf of the 2011 Asia NGO
Innovation Summit organisers, the Hope Institute and Intel Asia Pacific. We would like to express
our sincere gratitude to all the participants, supporting organisations and volunteers of ANIS 2011.

Last year, we took our first step towards building ANIS together. By convening the leaders of major NGOs
and organisations working towards social innovation, we shared our views and understanding of social inno-
vation, and initiated a platform on which knowledge and experiences can be shared among different groups.
This year, we will build on these achievements and deepen our discussions on the role of civil society and
organisations in enabling social innovation. We will also share our thoughts and experiences on the strategies
and methodologies of designing and developing social innovation, with the objective of building capacity.

Asia is a very diverse region probably more than any other continent in the world.
Countries here are truly diverse in political systems, social structure, economic development, religion and
culture. We have many social challenges to address, and our shared experiences, collaboration, tools of
media and information & communication technology will be fundamental in our ability to evolve solutions.
The big question is: Will the countries in Asia be able to benefit from each other’s experiences and bring
about solutions towards creating better societies? We believe we can make a difference together.
As a Korean proverb tells us, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with the first step.”
We believe that the ANIS network will contribute to greater cross country collaboration, sharing and
capacity building to co-create a flourishing space for social innovation.
We hope that you will join us in this path of learning and doing.

Finally, we would like to express special thanks to our partners including Beautiful Store and Beautiful Coffee,
Jeju Olle, Jeju Alternative Institute Community, Korea Federation for Environmental Movement of Jeju, Jeju Resi-
dent’s Self-government Solidarity, Jeju Solidarity for Participatory Self-government and Environmental Preserva-
tion, Asian Regional Exchange for New Alternatives (ARENA), UN Global Compact Network Korea and Daum
Communications for their generosity and openness to hold this Summit at the beautiful island of Jeju.

Thank you.

Introduction

The HOPE Institute and Intel Asia will jointly host the 2nd Annual Asia NGO Innovation Summit (ANIS) following the
successful inaugural event which was held in 2010. This year’s aim is to explore and develop practical methods and
tools to scale up social innovation across the region from pilot to mainstream. This year’s theme is “Promoting Social
Innovation in Asia: Strategies and Methods”.

From the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and the Barefoot College in India to the Social Innovation Park in Singapore
and KOTO in Vietnam, from the Social Invention Program in South Korea to the Social Innovation Camps in Australia,
novel ideas which meet the region’s social needs have been created, scaled up, and replicated across Asia as well as
all over the world.

From a global perspective, Asia has played a significant role in working to solve long-standing and seemingly
intractable social problems as well as those that are newly emerging. Learning lessons from Europe as well as from
our own experiences, we realized that existing systems and approaches to the social problems are not as effective
as they once were. This realization made us aware of the need to be conscious of the importance of social innovation
and to search for ways to generate and promote social innovation.

Social Innovation is more than a buzz word. It refers to socially-innovative movement that is a positive force in soci-
ety and works to harness society’s capacity to act. Social innovation does not happen by chance. Social innovation
cannot grow and scale without strategies to develop it and evaluate its impact. Asia is leading the way to promote
social innovation at every level and across the different sectors. We are proud that the 2nd Annual Asia NGO innova-
tion Summit will provide you with the tools and knowledge to promote social innovation in socially-related sectors.

Key Questions and Focus Areas

Over the past few years, a wide range of disasters and hardships have hit Asia. The global economic recession and
natural disasters such as earthquakes, the recent tsunami, coupled with the explosion of the nuclear power plant
in Japan, have illustrated the necessity of taking a new approach to address these issues. There is a strong sign of
emergence of such a new approach.

Recently social innovation initiated and led by citizens has had a great impact on a society. Individuals can make
themselves heard even without the support of NGO’s or NPO’s. They can express their opinions directly by using
social networks or blogs, and this naturally contributes to the formation of public opinions and new solutions. The
democratic movement triggered and spread by Twitter and social financing using crowd funding are a couple of
examples of these phenomena. Citizens act as activists, journalists, educators, social entrepreneurs, bankers and
policy makers and so on.

Under such social changes, the role of civil society should be reconsidered in order to accelerate social innovation.
This role of the public sector also needs to be considered, including governments, and the private sector including
corporates. All these different sectors are required to identify a new way of interacting with each other and encour-
age and support social innovation led by citizens. This shift also underlines the necessity of new tools and methods
which can be utilized by these sectors. Several examples of these tools and methods are world café for citizen
participation, SROI (Social Return On Investment) for evaluation of social values, social impact bonds for evaluation
of social impact and effective provision of public services. These methods should efficiently and effectively accom-
modate opinions and solutions made by individuals. This prompts ANIS to address the following two key questions:

Key Questions
• What is the role of civil society in Asia in the promotion of social innovation?
• What practical methods and tools can be developed to promote social innovation?

In order to answer these key questions, the following focus areas are selected for ANIS participants to exchange
their knowledge and experiences:

Concept Note

Focus Areas
(1) Social innovation initiated and/or led by citizens
(2) Social venturing and social financing for fostering social enterprises
(3) ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and social media

(1) Social innovation initiated and/or led by citizens
A growth in public awareness of social issues and usage of new ICT including social media has offered great op-
portunities for anyone to make their contribution to the diffusion of social innovation. Attendees will discuss many
recent social innovation cases initiated and led by citizens in Asia. The main emphasis of this discussion will be the
following:

- How can citizens create previously non-existing solutions to classic problems?
- How can citizens build their competency to implement their innovative solutions?
- How should civil society reinforce social innovation initiated and led by citizens?

(2) Social venturing and social financing for fostering social enterprises
Social enterprise is probably the most successful social innovation to have spread in Asia. The relative weakness
of governments and welfare systems in the region has clearly encouraged creative individuals to provide their own
solutions to entrenched social problems. The notable success of social enterprises in Asia has now encouraged
many newcomers to create their own social enterprises. Nevertheless, it is still in doubt about whether all these
enthusiastic attempts are mature enough to be sustainable. Attendees will discuss creative and innovative ways of
social venturing and social financing, which can help social enterprises in Asia grow more strongly. Especially several
approaches to evaluate social impacts of social enterprises, such as SROI and social impact bonds, have widely
received attentions from main social investors. Strengths and weakness of these methods need to be reviewed and
shared. The main emphasis of this discussion will be the following:

- What strategies and methods are most needed to incubate social enterprises in the region?
- What types of support and environment are needed for successful social pilots to be grown into sustainable enterprises?
- What are appropriate methods for evaluating the social and financial impact of social enterprises?
- What is the role of civil society in resolving the above issues, and how can it build capacity to play such a role?

(3) ICT (Information Communication Technologies) and social media
Undoubtedly ICT and social media have been significant tools for citizens to participate in social innovation from
initiation, cultivation through to scaling up. The rapid change in the ICT environment has always been a new opportu-
nity as well as a new challenge to innovators. Adoption of mobile technology to boost microfinance in Africa such as
M-Pesa, and crowd funding using online platforms such as Kiva have attracted more people to provide their inno-
vative ideas to create social solutions. Attendees will discuss how ICT and social media can be leveraged to scale
social innovations and promote creativity to enable change for social good. The main emphasis of this discussion will
be the following:

- How can ICT-led solutions foster collaborative innovation?
- How does ICT change the relations between different sectors, including civil society, the public sector, the private sector
and households?
- How can information and data be captured to provide innovative applications that create social impact?

ANIS Activities
ANIS Activities
Program

ANIS 2011 is designed to ensure every attendee is able to learn and participate. It will convene an open,
creative, collaborative and interactive discussion among participants. During ANIS 2011, participants will
be encouraged to share practical methods that can be used to foster social innovation and refine those
methods during group sessions. The sessions intended especially for encouraging participant interaction
are as follows:

The Social Innovation Tour (SI tour)
This first event of the day will examine the social impact of many different cases of social innovation in
the region, and the degree of social impact observed from these cases. To share the best experience
and knowledge from each country in a short period of time, the SI tour will employ the Pecha Kucha or
Ignite format of presentation and discussion.

The Poster Session
Every participant of ANIS 2011 can join in and introduce his or her social inno-
vation experience to others. Attendees will have a chance to discuss their best
practices with other attendees via face to face conversations.

Social Innovation Lab
To make discussions more concrete and concentrated, three sessions debating different focus areas
will be run in parallel. Each session will be regarded as a lab where related cases will be presented and
a number of small discussion groups will examine practical methods and find appropriate ways to use
them.

Open Space

Anybody attending an open space is given a chance to submit the main discussion topic. There are no
set themes other than the establishment of a collaborative project between attendees, to continue after
the close of the event. The Open Space discussion will be directed towards a final result of achievable
plans for collaborative projects among delegates of different nations in the region

ANIS Activities

Field Visit : Jeju Olle
In the Jeju dialect of Korean, “Olle” means a narrow pathway that runs from the street to the front gate
of a house. The Jeju Olle is a network of walking paths across Jeju Island. “Olle” sounds the same as
“Would you come?” in standard Korean, so “Jeju Olle” sounds like “Would you come to Jeju?”

Jeju Olle’s founder MyungSook Suh was the chief editor of a weekly news magazine.
After working hard as a journalist for twenty years, she felt exhausted and empty. To have a break, she
went on the 800km Santiago Pilgrimage from France to Spain in September 2006. When she returned
to her hometown on Jeju Island in Korea, she teamed up with a few volunteers to make a hiking trail
in Jeju. Her team explored Jeju Island and looked for hidden and forgotten footpaths that cars cannot
access. They had to restore old paths, connect broken paths and create new paths so that hikers can
enjoy the hidden beauty of the island.

The first trail path was opened to the public in September 2007. Since then, Ms. Suh has established
the non-profit organization called the Jeju Olle Foundation and it has created a total of around 216km
of walking trails. Currently, eighteen trail routes have been opened to hikers and the Jeju Olle team is
still exploring and developing new routes. On average, each Jeju Olle trail is around 10-18 km.
They offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the Jeju coastlines, local villages, dark green forests,
waterfalls, cliffs, and palm trees. All the Olle paths are developed with minimal human intervention.
All the markers indicating the route are made from eco-friendly materials.

The Jeju Olle has become one of the best routes for hikers to be reinvigorated and inspired through
relaxation of body and soul in nature.

Performance

A Singing Group <Modajung>
Modajung (meaning “together with”), a singing group under the Jeju Resident’s Self-Government Soli-
darity, was formed in March 2008 to give hopeful messages to Jeju citizens and consisently has done
diverse performances to achieve its goal.

All members have jobs and families but they have regularly performed once a year since 2009 with
passion for singing songs by overcoming individuals’ hardships despite busy schedule.
By doing so, they have shown their talents accumulated through the performances on various stages.
They have participated in major cultural events held in Jeju such as The Commemorative Event of Jeju
4.3, Citizens’ Event for Inhibiting the Legacy of Gwangju Democratic Movement, the Cultural Event
in Memory of the Late Yang Young-chan, and Citizens’ Peaceful Grand March for Gangjeong Village.
From this year, they do performances in festivals such as Seosara Cherry Blossoms Festival, Yeon-
dong Road Festival without Cars, and the Cultural Event for Commemorating the Late Jin Ah-young to
become close to local people.

Modajung will make consistent efforts to grow as a beloved singing group through diverse activities,
visiting and singing together with local people.

Special event

A Korean Traditional Performance Team <Gahyang Pansori Madang>
Opened in 2002, ‘Gahyang Pansori Madang’ focuses on coaching and performance to diffuse the
Pansori and the folk song from southern province.

Especially Heesoon Hyun(President, Gahyang Pansori Madang) is the traditional singer who studies
the folk song from southern province and Chunhyang-ga under Soyoung Kim, Sugung- ga, Chunhy-
ang-ga in full under Myungsin Kim.

Since 2004 Gahyang Pansio Madang has annually performanced at Spring Welcoming Exorcism of
Tamna (Tamnaguk Ipchun Gut Nori)’, which is a traditional folk festival of Jeju. The festival is a time-
honored celebration originally invoked to pray for good health as well as a bountiful spring harvest.

Various shamanistic practices are well-developed in Korea. Korean shamanism has deep roots in folk beliefs
from ancient times. It is closely related to ancient rites offered to the gods of heaven and has, over time,
become infused with Buddhist tradition.

Korean shamanism is distinguished by its seeking to solve human problems through a meeting of humanity and the spirits.
This can be seen clearly in the various types of gut(굿) that are still widely observed. Korean shamans are similar in many ways
to those found in Siberia, Mongolia, and Manchuria. They also resemble the yuta found on the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan.
Jeju Island is also a center of Korean Shamanism. Muism has exerted influence on the bases of some of the Korean new
religions, such as Cheondoism and Jeungism.

The ‘gut’ is a rite in which the shaman offers a sacrifice to the spirits and, through singing and dancing, begs them to
intercede in the fortunes of the world. The shaman wears a colorful ritual costume, speaks while in a trance as a spiritual
oracle, and sings and dances to the accompaniment of music.

Speaker

Robin MURRAY
Fellow
Young Foundation

United Kingdom

Robin Murray is an industrial economist. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and at the London
School of Economics. He joined the London Business School, where he lectured in Economics, and then
moved to the Institute of Development Studies, the national centre for the study and teaching of development
at the University of Sussex, where he was a Fellow for 20 years.

During this time he acted as a consultant on industrial and development issues to a wide range of governments,
and served as Director of Industry in the Greater London Council in the 1980s and as a Director of Development in
the Government of Ontario in the 1990s.

This work led him to the conclusion that there was a major role that could be played in achieving social goals by
mission driven third sector companies. In the field of development he co-founded Twin and Twin Trading in 1985.
Twin works with existing farmers co-operatives, and helps establishes new ones, while Twin Trading imports and
sells their products in the UK. They have in turn established producer co-owned branding companies, in coffee,
chocolate, fresh fruit and nuts. Together with their partners, this group of companies (of which he currently chairs
two and is a board member of a further three) now has a turnover of £90 million, and acts as a trading and mar-
keting arm for some 300,000 small farmers.

In parallel he has also developed a range of new ventures in the environmental field. His interest here is in the
economy of distributed systems, and their potential for environmental and social sustainability. He co-founded
the environmental partnership Ecologika, whose members work in the fields of waste, energy, transport, food and
health. As a group they played a major role in the re-direction of UK waste policy over the past decade, including
new venture formation, and have more recently worked as advisers to the Deputy Mayor of London in establish-
ing first the London Climate Change Agency, and then a London-wide Green Homes concierge service. They are
currently working with the Deputy Mayor on a project to develop plug-in hybrid vehicles (which have the potential
to transform both the energy and the auto industries).

From 2004-5 he was seconded to the Design Council as Director of RED, its innovation unit, where he led the
team working on new forms of health care, particularly in the areas of chronic disease management and public
health (Open Health monograph on RED Design Council health website).

Biography

Speaker

Frank McGuire
Member of Parliament & Chairman
Parliament of Victoria, Global Learning Village

Austrailia

Frank McGuire grew up in Broadmeadows, where he and his family have been involved in the local community for more than half
a century.

Frank has worked for more than 12 years to establish coordinated models to deliver social infrastructure and better results for
local communities.

In 1999, he became the founding chairman of the Safe City Taskforce for Hume City Council. Through this and other voluntary
positions, Frank was able to develop new ways to deliver infrastructure, services and programs denied to Broadmeadows in the
past.

He established the groundbreaking Global Learning Village model, in which government, business, community and philanthropic
groups work collaboratively to build smarter, healthier, better connected communities.

The first incarnation of the Global Learning Village model – the Hume Global Learning Center - established:
• the first public library in Broadmeadows 50 years after the suburb was established ;
• a maternal and childcare centre in Meadow Heights
• the Ideas Lab – an information and communications technology learning centre supported by companies such as
Microsoft, Intel and Cisco. There are two Ideas Labs in the world – one in London and the other in Broadmeadows.

The Global Learning Village model has been applauded and strongly supported by both sides of politics as well as major corpo-
rations such as Ford, Intel and Visy. It has been included by the Australian Government as a feature of the new town centre for
Craigieburn, and is now being adopted by government departments and community organisations.
This year the Global Learning Village was nominated on behalf of the City of Melbourne for a prestigious international Metropolis
Award and was showcased to more than 150 cities around the world.
Frank believes that supporting communities is all about building and providing quality local services and investing in attitude,
education and opportunity.

Frank initiated the “Inspiring Stories” campaign to lift pride in Broadmeadows, an area long regarded by outsiders as the end of
the line, and to raise aspirations in one of Australia’s most disadvantaged and diverse communities.
Frank is committed to ensuring every child has access to the best education, regardless of their family’s bank balance. To
achieve this vision he has campaigned for an Australian first - a multiversity – to be established in Broadmeadows that would
harness technology to deliver world-class higher education programs and foster life-long learning.
He initiated a leadership program for Year Nine students to broaden their life experience beyond the class room and helped
develop Hume Council’s Learning Together Strategy.

Frank continues to advocate for important community projects including a new health services hub as well as housing initiatives
mixing private, public and social homes.

Frank has been a journalist, businessman and social innovator. He has won a human rights media award and is a dual winner of
Australian journalism’s highest honour – the Walkley Award – for his investigative reporting.
Following the retirement of the former Victorian premier, John Brumby, Frank was elected as a Member of Parliament for Broad-
meadows at a by-election in February 2011.
