a. Sent a message to Ilona Bougherty on facebook. She runs a website
and program for giving Canadian youth the vocabulary to follow and
become interested in politics. Her engagement program includes using
performance art events (eg, concerts, dance) to get an 'in'.
b. She got back to me, said
Jeremy,
Thanks for letting us know about EVOKE, looks really
interesting! We will keep it on our radar.
All the best with the
project.
Ilona
c. I know that's a modest response but
1. It feels awesome getting a response!
2. Getting EVOKE attention from social innovators has to be to the good.
3. If you haven't contacted a social innovator because you're nervous (I was, for 8 weeks), it's not so bad! My experience is that they're normal and nice people to get in touch with - their stardom doesn't actually make them intimidating.
d. Her project's website -
Apathy is Boring.
