Gamification as an Educational Stimulator for System Change

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:33 +0000

Gamification in education can improve motivation and engagement. Games for sustainability, which drive change globally, from the beginning of our lives, human beings discover the world through play and games, activities that favor brain development and do not discriminate between historic periods or cultures. Throughout history, human beings have learned through this playful exercise, an endeavor that’s especially linked to our first years of life when a large number of neural connections are gestated. However, these activities have mutated to become an accelerated learning tool with a high impact on the cognitive processes of people of any age. Sustainable development – despite being an imperative for the survival of humanity and for the balance of the planet – is still a strange concept for many people, which is why it has used gamification (analog and digital) to respond to the urgent need to amplify its message and generate paradigm shifts. How do we act, accelerate and amplify this system change to achieve 2030 global goals ? Join us on CCW change week, together collaborating for the planet !

Exploring a practical new operating model for sustainable development

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:03 +0000

This session is based on 2 years’ research, which has identified the efficiency opportunities from doing development differently: relieve hunger, reduce poverty and help build sustainable communities. The stories we have gathered demonstrate the multiplier in wellbeing from local people helping themselves. Sometimes called ‘localisation’, it seems that the development sector recognises this opportunity but is gridlocked and unable to make the change. The application of Good Management Practice [GMP] to development can overcome this impasse; what is needed is a new operating model and scale demonstration of its effectiveness. We will tell the stories, provide the new model vision of GMP for the sector and promote collaboration to ‘just do it’!

Financial Ecosystem for a self-reliant community

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:01:51 +0000

How sharing economy can lead to sustainable communities. Financing models for triggering sharing economy and setting off a chain reaction. Drishtee is working in the field of livelihoods and Financial Inclusion. However, we realise that the existing ecosystem does not necessary look at the two as complimentary to each other. For example, the deposits made by account holders in a village does not merit a loan for a women from the same village. Moreover, the community at a village level does not have avenues to save or borrow for making infrastructural investments, necessary for a better life and livelihood for its residents. In this online session, we aim to find some creative ideas to resolve the issues as listed above and also to discuss solutions that might already be on ground in other geographies. This webinar is for open and informal sharing of experiences and ideas in which anyone should feel free to participate. The panel is a true representation of the new community linked thought of ‘sharing economy’ and is committed with their work on ground to build such ideas further into plans and convert them into actions on ground. So, go ahead and participate to help add new perspectives and build this idea of ‘Financial Ecosystem for a self-reliant community’ further so that it can be readied to be seeded and grown as a full-fledged fruiting tree.
