Drawing on tried and tested design-thinking methodologies, Just Innovate delivers a range of workshops and educational programs to students, organizations and companies. We believe that creating and learning go hand in hand: whether a success or a failure, the participants in our programs learn from the creative process, which in turn propels them to develop new ideas and projects. Over the course of an intensive two-month period, more than 40 students from a variety of disciplines from universities across Switzerland collaborate to tackle a range of local and global challenges sourced from leading international affairs and development organizations. Throughout the process, participants are supported by a program of workshops and skills trainings as well as mentors from our community of serial entrepreneurs and expert trainers. Run by students, for students, C4SI challenges participants to engage innovatively with real world problems by adopting a “learn by doing” approach. 47 STUDENTS 13 DISCIPLINES 15 HOURS OF WORKSHOPS 11 MENTORS 11 CHALLENGES 11 SOCIAL INNOVATIONS C4SI 2015 IN NUMBERS 3 COLLABORATE FOR SOCIAL IMPACT (C4SI) IS AN ANNUAL EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM RUN BY JUST INNOVATE.FOSTERING CREATIVITY AND INSPIRING SOCIAL CHANGE WITHIN STUDENT COMMUNITIES AND BEYOND.

The idea is to add a commercial arm that rents equipment to private hospitals and for this to generate resources for the not-for-profit organization geared towards public health sectors in Zimbabwe. Transform the existing ‘Healthy Lifestyle Community’ educational online platform into an app, adding features to improve user experience. The app will strengthen the community online through listed health-related activities. A community-driven platform that helps small local NGOs tap into existing resources in the health and water sectors and ensure the success of a technology and education driven solution for a safe water system in the community.
