Deep down we know we should contribute positive change in some way. It’s the how that stumps us. In a world dominated by institutions of power, what can one individual do anyway?

These days, a lot. Empowered by education and technology, today’s change agents are initiating projects of all kinds to create new possibilities and contribute to a better world.

Endeavor, a new multi-touch ebook, showcases ten project types of today’s “social creatives.” Each category features two projects that have made a positive impact. Hear their creators share their stories through inspiring TED and TEDx Talks. Let their examples be an inspiration to you as you try to make a difference yourself.

A forthcoming ebook will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating and improving your social change project and help you develop the core skills of changemaking.

Note: I will post the link to the ebook in the iTunes store once it shows up.

Fun for a Change is a global competition designed to introduce university students to the fun side of social innovation. Teams compete in using “fun” and game dynamics to bring about positive change. Along the way, they engage one another in fun challenges, learn the most effective ways to shape human behavior, and innovate new solutions.

Fun for a Change was launched at Simon Fraser University in June 2011 and online in July 2011.
