Emergency Call: Create a speical website for kids!
The pandamic has come unexpected and fast. Nobody knows exactly where it come´s from, but it is very infectious. Nearly the wh*** area is in quarantine. The people aren´t allowed to leave their houses.
The supply of food/water and the provision of medical care are running well and are good organized by the local government.

During a crisis the power of journalists is really immense. They can influence the behaviour of the people positivly or even negativly. That is why "Managing Panic in a Pandemic" is the most important secret in my opinion. There it is mentioned what power journalists have and how they can help activly managing a crisis.
When I was thinking about journalism, usually the duty of information came to my mind. But this secret make me think about the critical role journalist can have in a crisis… Continue

Society for the Promotion of Eco Cultural Tourism and the Environment
The case study that impressed me most is the one of the "Society for the Promotion of Eco Cultural Tourism and the Environment" in Benize. The first aim of the Society is to protect the endangered Green Iguanas and their natural habitat at the area of Macal, Mopan and Belize Old Rivers. The other is a long term goal: They want to improve the quality and standart of living of the society´s members through community participation in the eco cultural tourism business.

Football in Rwanda
First of all I have to say that I was supporting to establish women football coaches in Rwanda in Mission Act6. So my wh*** story is based on this project.
In 2020 the women of Rwanda are dancing in the streets. At last the men start to celebrate with them. The atmosphere is boisterious. The Rwanda women football national team reached the half finals at the world cup !
But it is far more than just a sporting success. The women national team and it´s triumphs had become a symbol… Continue

Women coaches in Rwanda
I support the project that is going to train 100 football women coaches in Rwanda. The project immediatly catched my eyes because of the women football world cup that will take place in Germany this summer. The last weeks I read a lot about that event and the status of women football in the world. Rwanda has bigger problems than the situation of women football surely but nevertheless I´m the opinion that sport can help to improve a few of them.

One of these projects is the NAEU, which is an organisation that represents the energy interests of the four countries and… Continue

The biggest change has already begun
In my opinion the biggest change has already started. In the future there will be no hard money. All payments will be done by credit cards or similiar systems.
A lot of countries stoped the production of small hard money like the 1 or 2 cent coints and this will only be the beginning. Large amounts are already payed by credit cards or transfer form. It is an easy and comfortable way of paying. You can pay with your card in many countries without thinking about the domestic currency.… Continue

Cleaning water by using eggshell
The water crisis is not only about the scarcity of water, it is also a problem of cleanness. A problem that can even affect people in richer regions of the world. One of the biggest challenges is the pollution because of heavy metals that cause health and environmental damages. There are still methods against it, but they are expensive and complex.

Solar updraft tower- Use warm air to generate electricity!
During my investigations about alternative ways of generating electricity I found a power station that was totally new for me. I´ve never heard before something about a solar updraft tower which was invented by Prof Jörg Schlaich at the University of Stuttgart. It uses the ability that warm air soar up to produce energy.
The construction is pretty simple but scarcely less brilliant.

I´m from Germany and fortunatly there are no real food security problems. This is caused by favourable geographic conditions, which avoid extrem climatic situations like droughts, and the fact that Germany, because of its economic relations and infrastructure, is able to import food from all over the world.
A german problem considering food is the general dealing with food. Due to have plenty of food most of the people lost the ability to appreciate it.

Why just one hero, when I can have a complete website of it ?
In my opinion there are so many people in the world, which are great social innovaters and it is hard to just pick one of them as your personal hero. While I was searching for interesting projects and their initiators I found Till Behnke, who is one of the founders of www.betterplace.org, a website that spotlights different social projects all over the world. There are all kinds of projects in every kind of size.
