- Hi! I’m Amy Sample Ward – a general NPTecher, blogger, facilitator, and am the Global Community Builder for NetSquared. I’m going to talk about our approach to surfacing innovative projects and how we’d like to see it move into your hands for local change.
- NetSquared is an initiative of TechSoup Global, started four years ago focused on the intersection of social change and technology.
- NetSquared has online content driven by Community Members; Offline line events called Net Tuesdays, and Challenges, Campaigns focused on mining innovative approaches to solve problems facing communities everywhere.
- NetSquared hosts an annual challenge and Partner Challenges throughout the year – these are open calls for innovative ideas based on a specific sector of social benefit work, like human rights or international development, or on a specific kind of technology, like mashups or mobile applications.
- Challenges that leverage ideas from around the world are great in the same way that heading to a big conference lets you meet people you may otherwise never have met or collaborated with. Local challenges though have the potential to bring together groups, organizations, networks and individuals who are already physically together.
- Local is important because it means you already know the community, you are already physically close, and will all reap the benefits of making successful changes to issues. The opportunity to start working together is much greater when there aren’t oceans, and time differences to cross in order to begin.
- Local Challenges can take shape in a number of ways, for instance: you can start a Net Tuesday group in your city; you can partner with local organizations, funders, or interested groups to host a local Challenge, or collaborate with Projects already at work in the Global Project Gallery and find ways to localize their work to your community.
- We can’t be everywhere alone. But we can be everywhere with your help. We want to continue driving energy into global Challenges that open up collaboration opportunities across states, countries and continents. But we also really want your help in getting local so that we can support you in changing the world one community at a time.
- Net Tuesdays are local, monthly events that bring together everyone interested in technology and social change, whether they are nonprofit staff, educators, policy makers, funders, developers, entrepreneurs or techies. This is a good place to start cooking up a local Challenge.
- We have already got 45 groups meeting around the world – if there’s a Net Tuesday happening near you, you can bet that organizers would love to have you speak at an upcoming event to share what you are working on, what you’d like to be working on, or to have you join the group to regularly connect with the group.
- Net Tuesdays are organized by volunteers and are great opportunities for people working on local projects to workshop their ideas, get feedback and find collaborators; it’s also an awesome opportunity for people looking to learn about the sector or stay on top of social media for nonprofits to continue learning and discussing with speakers, sponsors and members.
- So here’s what we’re thinking – we’ve got smart, talented, connected and passionate people coming together every month around the world. They care about their local communities and about leveraging technology to help change. Net Tuesdays are primed already for facilitating local challenges.
- We’ve already got the Challenge process down from our Global Challenges and are ready to move towards deploying the Challenge platform for local groups. The submissions, the voting, the everything already figured out!
- Right?! Like I said, we want to change the world and know you do, too – so help us to help you start making those changes one local community at a time!
- Let’s connect! If you’re interested, I’m interested, so let’s get together on a conference call to share more about what we are already doing and hear your ideas about what we could be doing! You can visit netsquared.org/09ntc for details and a sign up for that call.
- Find your local group and connect with the organizers to learn more about how you can get involved, get some speaking time, or rally the troops for a project. You can find links to local groups at netsquared.org/share/meetup
- Thanks so much for your time – really hope to hear from you soon! Hit netsquared.org/09ntc for these slides, for some conversation, and to keep things rolling!
