  Innovator's Ideathon

  Canberra Innovation Network Canberra ACT, Australia

  The 1918 Flu Pandemic brought about the entire field of epidemiology and a new era of public health. World War 2 gave us new technologies like radar, computers, and rocketry. More recently, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis was when the unicorn companies WhatsApp, Instagram, and Uber were founded. Global crises have, for much of human history, been the seedbed of new ideas, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Now is the time for new ideas to be openly encouraged and fostered – will you come up with the next idea that will change the world?

  Youth Facilitator

  Highway Foundation Remote (Victoria, Australia)

  Highway Foundation is a brand new youth charity stepping boldly into the current mental health crisis with big dreams of empowering and supporting adolescents and young adults through transformative and engaging workshops. Australia has many services and resources for the 20% of youth living with mental illness. But what about the other 80%? Loneliness and feelings of isolation have been rising and the world is starting to feel more and more uncertain. For many, now may feel like the hardest time to be a young person trying to discover who they are and what path they want to take in life. In working with young people, we observed a common desire in youth for a safe space without judgment or stigma. Highway Youth Facilitators create that space in the workshops they run online. They help young people feel belonging and inspire them to become the best version of themselves. Our facilitators are given the tools to create a productive, comfortable and...
