- Endeavor: The Rise of Social Creatives
How do we make a difference? How do we live a life that matters?
Deep down we know we should contribute positive change in some way. It’s the how that stumps us. In a world dominated by institutions of power, what can one individual do anyway?
These days, a lot. Empowered by education and technology, today’s change agents are initiating projects of all kinds to create new possibilities and contribute to a better world.
Endeavor showcases ten project types of today’s “social creatives.” Each category features two projects that have made a positive impact. Hear their creators share their stories through inspiring TED and TEDx Talks. Let their examples be an inspiration to you as you try to make a difference yourself.
A forthcoming ebook will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating and improving your social change project and help you develop the core skills of changemaking.
This book was designed for the iPad. You can download it from iTunes here.
Just finished Endeavor: The Rise of Social Creatives. It took me a day and a half to complete. Well worth with it! I’m brimming over with inspiration. I was tempted to skip a few of Ted Talks for the sake of time, but I learned along time ago not to do that. Some of the real nuggets are found in the things I thought of skipping, skimping, or discarding entirely. That proved to be true in this instance.
I’m a drama and literacy instructor (sometimes science, SEL instructor, community meeting and stop bullying committee organizer, etc.) in after school enrichment programs, in New Mexico. This was so much more beneficial to me than all the annually required and optional training events or expensive conferences I attend.
I’ve taken off this summer, so I’ll just move on to the Social Creatives: A New Chapter and I’ve already saved the Creative Activist Toolkit.
I want to thank you for putting all this together. Well done. I really appreciate it!
