Innovation at Civil Society Academy
We champion and advocate for a just and equal world, and spend all our time harnessing the superpower abilities of social pioneers, innovators and civil society leaders to fast track radical system transformation. Being a fast growing social start-up ourselves initiated by Welthungerhilfe in 2014, we know the transformative power of ideas and what it takes to bring them to life. Over the years we have also developed a strong reputation for strengthening and deepening local participative social innovation processes and championing the role of the third sector in radical system transformation discourses.

Great idea! But how does it work? How do you connect the mining community to the world? Not so clear for me....
very good idea to use the internet to make the struggles of communities visible at a large scale and conect them to human rights actors. Would the comunity receive advise or support from others via the platform?
Very inspiring concept. There are many other important issues in Karamoja, which may also be addressed. I believe it is not only mining. The photo/report option is really interesting. The concept is very site specific, which is good. Keeping a larger scale, can we imagine "World rising"? So the website includes Karamoja and any other locations with similar issues.
What is Karamoja? What is the difference from this concept to other projects in mining where people have been empowered and successfully raised their voices? How can you adapt this concept to other areas?
Its a good idea to amplify voices of miners but I do not see enough detail in this concept to understand exactly what the problems and issues have emerged from being invisible. What exactly will amplification of their voices achieve and how will their lives be improved? Why do their voices need to be amplified? Are they being exploited? What social issues have arisen from that? Who are these miners? Are they Men? Women? Boys? Girls? Is there any violence associated with this invisibility and lack of voice? Domestic violence? Negative coping mechanisms?
