INSPIRING SOCIAL CHANGE INTERNATIONALLY
If you have an idea or a passion that you hope will be of benefit to others and the world we live in then i-genius can help. Through their online social network i-genius seek to stimulate partnerships between members and support them by developing relationships with established organisations.
What is i-genius all about?
"In our community we seek to stimulate fresh thinking and bright ideas, and inspire a new generation to become 'social entrepreneurs'. Social entrepreneurs are individuals who create or develop businesses (whether commercial or not for profit) where the primary focus is on social change."
The i-genius team and members have been a huge source of help, inspiration, publicity and partnerships for Make Travel Fair since we setup, and we are now helping them with planning their first ethical event - A world summit for a new generation of social entrepreneurs. In March 2008 i-genius are holding their first world summit in Thailand.
Why is i-genius having a world summit?
"The core purpose of the summit is to enable people to share great ideas and find exciting ways in which they can work together. The more people who work together from from different locations and cultures, the better the world will be."
Environmental sensitivity, the social and economical inclusion of local communties and businesses in the event are all of great importance to i-genius. The planning has been lengthy and is far from over, but with the right concerns in mind we hope that the event will be a great success.
Why has Phuket, Thailand been chosen as the location?
"After considering a variety of options we chose Thailand. Why? Because Thailand has a wonderful deep culture and history. It is perfectly placed economically and geographically to both benefit from and feel the affects of a rapidly changing world. Thai people have a wonderful sense of art and design which can be truly inspiring. And for practical purposes, it is pretty accessible and cost effective for most to attend. The summit will be held at the Indigo Pearl resort which is an amazing location nestled on a national park along the shores of one of Phuket's most beautiful beaches."
