I attended the launch of the Catalyst Awards for Social Technology last week. It was inspiring to hear practical examples of people using technology in innovative ways for a social purpose - I look forward to more inspiring stories when the winners are announced in July.
I am a great believer in the power of telling individual stories to demonstrate practical social action – it’s what we at Community Links have done through our Ideas Annual books since 1989. But the speed and interactivity of websites and blogs brings this storytelling to a different dimension.
The awards were launched with very warm encouragement by Phil Hope in his role as Government Minister for the Third Sector. Further info about the launch and the awards on the Make your Mark blog and David Wilcox includes a full report of the event including an interview with Phil Hope on his Social Reporter Blog.
Do you, or someone you know use technology to enable to connect with each other in new ways to do good things? Enter the awards online and celebrate your impact.
