One Week & Counting!
Tuesday, April 24, 2007
Hello Fellow Solutionists! Our first event is just one week away so we have a big update for you today!
A QUICK RECAP
Maybe you got an email from a friend or maybe you have seen a poster or two around town, but chances are that if you've found our website, it's been through one grass roots effort or another. That said, we'd like to welcome any new readers and thank all the old ones that have been helping to get the word out. For those of you that are new to the site, you might still be thinking: "OK, this sounds cool... but what exactly is it and why should I care?"
Solutions Twin Cities is a new organization that is dedicated to showcasing, connecting, and inspiring future-positive creativity. How do we do this? Well it often takes an outside eye to sum up something in the simplest terms. Eric Larson wrote this over at Worldchanging Twin Cities:
Additionally, this website will act as a hub for these ideas and for people wanting to connect to them. After each event (we are thinking 2 to 4 a year) we will broadcast the presentations through YouTube so that anybody will be able to watch them at their leisure. This website will also provide connections to many of the great local organizations making a difference in our community today, as well as keep you updated with the latest news about progressive design, art, and activism.
We believe that people have the capability and tools to make the world a better place for our children and for generations to come. By connecting you to what is happening locally and building a community around these progressive ideas, we hope that the change that is already taking place will become more visible, and will in turn inspire more and more people to think about how they can effect change in their own day to day lives.
But words can only convey so much, the only true way to see what we are about is to come to the event on May 2nd.

TWO LAST UPDATES

The format is simple: Find people with the best and brightest design ideas. Put them in front of a live audience. Allow them to present twenty images for twenty seconds each (that's six minutes and forty seconds per presentation). No guff, no fluff, just the essence of the ideas.As you might gather from that, the key component in our recipe for change is a live event, the first of which is called "Solutions Volume 1." It will feature a mixture of innovative ideas, programs, and projects, all displayed in a rapid-fire presentation format.
Additionally, this website will act as a hub for these ideas and for people wanting to connect to them.
