Ideas to Unfuck the World: Social Justice Hackathon

CALLING THE REBELS, INSTIGATORS, MISCHEIF MAKERS & CHANGE CREATORS!!! Please excuse our French...its for a good cause we promise!

Join us for a social and environmental justice hackathon like no other!

To celebrate global Unfuck the World Day on June 9th 2018, we will bring together 30 young rebels WITH a cause, together with mentors, to ideate solutions to some of the worlds most complex social and environmental challenges. 

• 24 Hours
• 50 rebels with a cause
• 1 goal - To UNFUCK the world!!!

Why?

Its easy to feel like the world is fucked. We are living in times of increasing poverty and prejudice, hate and hunger, divisions and disaster...and its easy to let this shit get you down. BUT... for every problem we face there is a solution waiting to be born. For every worry we share, there is a growing sense of hope, a belief that together, we can build a brave new world. A world built on mad love for ALL people and planet.

Martin Luther King said that ‘if the world were to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today’. Ideas to Unfuck the World is a social and environmental justice hackathon that supports young people 18-30 years old to plant seeds of change today, in the face of an uncertain tomorrow. 

We are inspired daily by the raw energy, beauty and brilliance of youth. We also value the experience and grit of older activists who have dedicated their lives to fighting for what they believe. And we believe that bringing young and old(er) together, to create meaningful change, is the secret to Unfuck it this big, bad, beautiful world of ours. 

How?

Over 24 hours 30 young people 18-30 years old will work in small teams to address a number of problems that have been selected through consultation with our local and global networks. Throughout the challenge you will have access to a range of mentors and can take part in a series of workshops to help you develop and pitch your ideas. 

The hackathon will be followed by a public pitch event where teams will have the opportunity to share their ideas to the audience and receive feedback from an expert panel of changemakers. The audience will get to put their money where their mouth is an donate $10 from the price of their ticket to their favourite idea, helping raise money for the teams to turn their ideas into action. We’ll also work with the teams after the event to help connect you with people who might be able to help you on your journey.
