1 mi2 – ONE SQUARE MILE

Musician Stergin’s newest project is an artistic initiative of promoting empathy & listening to each other in our ever so divided societies. Very personal conversations with people who live within 1 mi2 of the artist will inspire new musical compositions. In the past 20 years our societies are drifting further apart.The endless stream of information & misinformation on our devices makes it harder & harder to distinguish what is what. Sometimes it seems that everything has lost its meaning. The goal is to grow the project & find musicians/artists in each country of the planet who will follow the same process: interview someone in their own mi2 & create an artistic reaction to it. All these interviews & creations will then be shared on a website & then turned into a travelling exhibition. 1 mi2 I willl send a positive message from and into our communities and promote listening to each other and empathy. This starts in front of our own front doors. Website: http://www.on...

A Migration program to revitalize rural villages

Before the Pandemic, 6 million people were migrating to cities each month. The result is often social crisis and chaos in many of the world’s cities. Focused on the solution of this crisis we created ES VICIS Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Switzerland, whose goal is to foster sustainable and planned migration to rural towns and villages, to support their revitalization and empowerment, and ultimately to create thriving communities. Our "Welcome to my Village" program was designed to unlock the potential of small, rural towns and villages. It features three pillars: Welcome, Business, Home. You can join our efforts by watching and sharing this video and supporting the ES VICIS Foundation. BE THE CHANGE. https://esvicis.org/ www.facebook.com/esvicis

AM Technology - Airlite

Airlite is an air purification technology that can be applied like a paint. It purifies the air thanks to the negative ions that neutralize pollutants when they come into contact with the wall, fighting molds, bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Using 100 sqm of Airlite is equivalent to planting 100 sqm of trees, so it helps reducing pollution: 100 sqm of Airlite eliminate 21,39 Euro 6 petrol cars in 12 hours. Moreover, it keeps spaces fresh when applied to external walls and roofs thanks to its solar reflectance property, cooling interiors up to 29% during summer and reducing CO2 emissions and energy costs up to 50%. Airlite is produced in powder form, saving 40% in weight during transport, so it produces 40% less CO2 than any other traditional paint for the same surface area applied, with a significant positive impact on the environment. Airlite has the highest number of international certifications in its field, like CradleToCradle Gold, Friendly Materials and Green Seal.

The app also offers the victims the ability to share their experiences and support each other. And it also offers educational videos, articles, and lectures about sexual harassment, how to defend yourself, and information on emergency hotlines for victims of sexual assault.

Artificial Museum

Our mission is to create, procure, research, distribute, and preserve digitized art of a wide variety of artistic fields. At its core, the *Artificial Museum* challenges the status quo and creates new perspectives of the term museum, rethinking the questions ’what is art?’ and ‘who perceives it’. There are more artworks by dead men stored in museums than can be exhibited. What remains is the virtual, imaginary area, in which there is also an almost infinite amount of space. Instead of continuing to practice the status quo of art in “temporary used” spaces, we decided to just use the space between the worlds on a permanent and self-determined basis, as an experimental playground for reawakening imagination in public space. We resolve this through a decentralized platform using *AR technology* in public space, making gps-anchored artifacts accessible to everyone, both at home and abroad. Our 'building' is based on public participation that can inscribe itself anywhere an...

BINDEE 🖇

We are the group of young enthusiasts from Ukraine, Norway, Belgium and Italy, who want to create a digital social platform to connect mentors and mentees over their passions and interests. We want to facilitate the opportunity to share one's passion by creating a passion-sharing platform. We noticed that during the lockdown a lot of people suffer from the lack of communication. That’s why we wanted to provide an opportunity for socialising safely. Our project creates a unique platform for collecting experiences, knowledge and passions and sharing it with others. In order to kickstart the platform by 1st of September 2022, we want to find 15 mentors by the 1st of August 2022 to host at least one mentorship programme/session on their passion and interests by the 30th of September 2022.

BIT.BIO.BOT

BIT.BIO.BOT contributes to questioning and re-designing some of the logics which led us to the current health crisis. If we, collectively, daily and locally, will contribute to transforming air pollutants and water contaminants into highly nutritious aliments, there will be fewer opportunities for unbalanced viral ecologies to exploit unsustainable food supply chains and polluted atmospheres to reach our organism and cause us harm.

BioFluff — plant based fur

BioFluff is developing the first 100% plant-based fur to help fashion brands replace animal fur and plastic fur. As a B2B business we are combining green plant-fiber technology with century-old tanning legacy to create a new and sustainable material. Currently there is no sustainable fur on the market and the fashion industry has a lot of momentum to position itself in a sustainable and innovative way. Our team is composed of a female founder from India working currently in the USA on BioFluff and a male Austrian founder currently working from Italy. After creating our first prototype in early 2021, we both quit our jobs and bootstrapped. Many fashion luxury brands (Balenciaga, Prada, Chanel, Versace, Gucci, Armani) dropped fur over the past 5 years and are now dependent on plastic fur. We are planning on taking advantage of this positive momentum to implement our environmentally friendly product. bio-fluff.com

Crea+

At Crea +, we have proposed to contribute to transforming society and building the country in which we want to live. And for this, we believe that our children must discover their talents and dedicate to what they are passionate about. In this way, they can grow up inspired, motivated and happy. For this reason and through 10 years, Crea + has had the mission of allowing children from vulnerable backgrounds to discover their talent and find their passion during their school years. To achieve this, we have built a professional volunteering program in which young people and adults donate their talents, hobbies and professions through face-to-face and virtual classes that they share with students from all over Peru. We want more children to believe in themselves to achieve their dreams. That moves us and has led us to offer more than 30 thousand free classes with 300 different themes such as mini engineers, mini chef, mini architects, singing, scientific experiments, veterinary ...
