Learn10 - The final
I had to write a paper about the Evoke network for university. I'm sorry that it is only written in German but it was much easier for me.
Here it is:
1. Einleitung
Zu Beginn muss ich sagen, dass ich vorher kaum einen Gedanken an „Social Innovation“ gerichtet hatte, daher war es für mich schon Neuland, welches ich betreten habe. Der Grund aber warum ich mich für dieses Seminar entschieden habe, war dann aber doch die Neugier, dieses Spiel zu entdecken… Continue

Learn 9 - Managing panic in a pandemic
I choose "Managing panic in a pandemic".
It think the meaning of the word panic is a big factor. The word is often used but most of the time there is no panic.
But what is a panic?
For The Nieman Guide panic means that it is a loss of social order and a internal order. In critical situations people often running around and doing what they believe is self-protective. So this might not be a social order but also not be a panic.
For me, everybody speaks… Continue

Forest fires
Because of the climate change in the past years it was sometimes very dry in the summer month, so the problem of forest fires will rise in the future.
Here in Germany we have the so called "FireWatch" (Link), it's a system with optical sensors which works with a smoke detection software so that a fire can be already detected in the development stage. It can detect smoke from a distance of nearly 15 km.
So this system… Continue

Nuclear power station
It is the first day in may 2020 and today the last german nuclear power station was closed. It is a big day for all the people in Germany and in Europe, because most of the countries in Europe, back in 2013, agreed to a contract which says that all nuclear power stations in Europe must be closed until 2030.
Most of the energy will come from sustainable energys like solar, wind craft or geothermal. The big solar plant park in the desert of the sahara in north africa is just a few… Continue

Solar energy
I think the best way to warm water on a very sustainable way is to install a solar thermal plant on the top of their own house or on appartment buildings.

Barbecue
I will be having a little barbecue with my wife, my three kids and the grandparents. We are sitting in the garden of our estate and eating fresh salats and grilled meat, which we bought from a local butcher, who get their meat from local farmers.
We are enjoing the warm and great weather and having a lot of fun. Another great event is happening today: Germany has switched off its last nuclear power station.

I think it can be helpful to create a partnership with local farmers. I think everybody can benefit of that, because the customer knows from where the food is coming and he can drive to the farmer to see if everything is fine. And you can also create a personal relationship with the farmer.
So you can get must of your needs from local companies (farmers), but doesn't that mean the end of the globalization? No i think it only makes sense to get fresh foods, like vegetables or fruits… Continue

First of all, here in Germany is no really food insecurity. That many supermarkets has to throw food away because the best-before day is near should say anything.
So the problem right now is not the insecurity because you can get, for example, cornflakes in many different ways, beside that no own really need that.
But a problem in the near future can be the fact that more and more people have the problem of hunger. By the way, this problem is of course not as big as it is… Continue

In 2020 i will be working for a big company or maybe i will start my own business. Right now i have one son, so i think in 2020 there will be probably two or three. Germany does not have any nuclear power stations but France has built 20 more. The problems in Africa are unfortunately not solved because the european politics don't really want it. Continue

I choose Erik Hersman, founder of AfriGadget, because it is great to see that people in Africa can solve their problems on "their" way and that they don't need a lot of money for that.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
