Civic Innovators Series: Creative Sustainability

We’re back with another episode from our Civic Innovator series. Civic innovators are people who are solving real world problems in difficult situations. We’ll be bringing you an intimate look at how everyday citizens make change happen and help to protect and expand civic space everywhere.

Today’s show focuses on “Creative Sustainability” and the imaginative and inventive ways that civil society organizations are seeking resources, funding and other support for their work in often difficult circumstances. We’ll be hearing about two examples during our show.  To tell us these stories are:

Shawn Shieh, Director of Social Innovations Advisory (SIA). Shawn is based in Guangzhou, China and is a member of the East Asia Hub.

Ana María Espin, coordinator at Innpactia, and Juan Carlos Lozano, Founder, at Innpactia are based in Bogota, Colombia and are members of our LAC Hub.
