It’s easy to look around the world today and feel disillusioned. Turn on the news and most likely all you will hear is stories of political gridlock, war, revolution, and natural disasters; however, for all these negative stories there are equally positive and inspiring ones that just aren’t being talked about.
So VOICES is very excited to be partnering with Google Zeitgeist: a group that brings together many of the under-celebrated young change-makers in the world.
Right now Google Zeitgeist is looking for applicants for its Zeitgeist Young Mind’s conference in 2012. This conference is aimed at finding the top ten best and brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, change-makers, and world shakers from across the globe. These finalists, when selected, will be invited to Google Zeitgeist 2012, where they will meet with some of the world’s best thinkers and innovators. Previous guest speakers at Zeitgeist have included Stephen Hawking and Martha Lane Fox.
With all this in mind, #TeamVoices is excited to also be featuring work from past Zeitgeist-ers in the coming weeks! They’ll be talking about their bright ideas, how they came up with them, how they developed them and where they are now.
So if you’re looking for some inspiration or simply a place where the glass is half-full, check back for some great stories!
And for anybody ready to write their own story, make sure to apply to Zeitgeist. Upload a one-minute video clip of yourself describing your project to the Zeitgeist youtube page:http://www.youtube.com/user/ZeitgeistYoungMinds.
