Unfortunately we have a limitid budget and therefore we can only sent the Team Captains of to New York. We understand this might be disappointing for the rest of the team members.

However we believe that the biggest prize is the fact that YOUR idea has been selected as a GAMECHANGER. Your idea will be pitched on a big stage at the UN Water Conference and imagine this as a flying start of your career!  

We will make sure to have a strong live connection with your team and local community at home to connect virtually and give you the credits you deserve! 

 

It is a requirement for the participating teams to provide at least one guest lecture to a local community. 

With ‘local community’ we do not only mean primary or secondary schools. A local community can also be a local day care, a youth group, sport club, music / dance or art class. 

Please have a look on the ‘impact report example document’ in the Workspace area to see the further requirements.

Until the 24th of January the only thing we expect from you is to present an implementable idea. This means you’ll be judged on the FACT if it’s implementable or not. We don’t ask you to implement/execute the idea within the next two months. 

However our mission is that all the good ideas will be implemented at some point in the future. The top 5 ideas will get extra support to find fundings to implement the idea and really be the Gamechanger the world needs.  We strongly encourage the other ideas to find fundings too and we are working on the strategy to realize this. 

The Upload Manual can be found in the Workspace in the folder ‘Communication Archive’. 

At least one team members needs to provide a guest lecture to a local community. 

2 simple tips to make it easy: 

  1. Ask for permission.
  2. Make a video/photo of the community from the back. This way there is proof of the amount of children but faces are not shown.
  3. You can ‘blur’ their faces after you took the video or picture. 

For the impact video challenge: Take the privacy regulations into account beforehand; make shots from the back or simply ask the children beforehand. 

No. It is required that at least one team member provides the guest lecture.

You will be judged on only 1 idea, so pick your best idea.

However we strongly encourage you to upload your second idea in a SECOND folder in the workspace. Later on we can place this on the marketplace. 

An explanation about the folders and upload system can be found in the ‘communication archive’. 

Our mission is that all the good ideas will be implemented at some point in the future. The top 5 ideas will get extra support to find fundings to implement the idea and really be the Gamechanger the world needs.  We strongly encourage the other ideas to find fundings too.

We are working hard to create a ‘market place’ on the website where your idea can easily be ‘adopted’ by investors. 

For the Impact Report, we ask you for proof. The only thing we ask from you is to make a video or photo with evidence of your guest lecture, it doesn’t matter if it’s a good video or photo as it will only be shown to the judges. 

The Impact Video Challenge is an online Challenge which gives you the opportunity to show your local Impact with the world!!
