Welcome to the Evoke Network.
Welcome to your crash course in changing the world.
What's an "evoke"?
There's an old saying here: "If you have a problem, and you can't solve it alone, evoke it."
When we evoke, we look for creative solutions.
We use whatever resources we have.
We get as many people involved as possible.
We take risks.
We come up with ideas that have never been tried before.
An evoke is an urgent call to innovation.
Evoking first started in Africa, but it can happen anywhere.
For the next 10 weeks, we will evoke together.
Every Wednesday at midnight, the network will send out a new evoke.
How to respond to an urgent evoke:
1. Read the story
2. Investigate the story
3. Accept your mission
If you respond to at least one evoke by May 12, 2010, you will earn your spot as a founding member of the Evoke Network.
WHAT'S MY MISSION?
Your mission is to practice your world-changing skills, right now, wherever you are.

Each mission has three objectives.
LEARN - Investigate our great challenges and share what you discover.
ACT - Get out in the world. Do something small to help solve a real problem.
IMAGINE - Unleash your creativity. Tell a story about the future you want to make.

HOW DO I GO ON QUESTS?
Every hero has an origin story. It's time for you to discover yours.
Where do your powers come from? Who inspires you? What set you on a path to change the world?
A new quest unlocks every Wednesday at midnight.
Each quest is a question that only you can answer.
Answer all ten questions, and write the story only you can tell.
