FACT Challenge Submissions Open
[Source: NetSquared.org, August 23, 2010]
The French American Charitable Trust (FACT) is pleased to announce the second annual FACT Social Justice Awards. FACT is committed to addressing the fundamental inequalities and injustices in our society by helping develop and sustain networks of community-based groups in the U.S. and France that educate, organize, and empower people to actively participate in developing public policies that directly affect their lives. Submissions are now open for innovative projects that leverage web and/or mobile technologies to foster collaboration around social justice issues.
Our Challenge theme this year is “Collaborate for Social Justice.”
We chose this theme because beneath all the new platforms, widgets, tools, social media, and innovative products lies the potential for people to collaborate in new ways with one another.
The FACT Challenge seeks to surface innovative Projects that leverage web and/or mobile technologies that foster collaboration around social justice issues.
Specific technologies could include, but are by no means limited to:
- Leveraging use of wikis
- Social networking platforms
- Citizen journalism and reporting
- SMS
How to Participate:
- SHARE: Let your friends, colleagues, and networks know about this opportunity to profile ideas and find collaborators.
- SUBMIT: Submissions are open until October 4th. Submit your Project today.
- SUPPORT: Even if you don't have a Project to submit, your feedback and comments will help other Projects improve. Share your ideas.
Get all the Challenge information and criteria - and start participating today.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the NetSquared team at any time. They're looking forward to seeing your ideas.
