Technology & social problems

-

How can we use technology to solve key social problems? Can we stop poverty? Reduce criminality? Improve education? Increase equality? This night we will take a closer look into creative technological solutions.

Did you know that 24% of the people in Amsterdam live below the minimum wage level? We’re talking about 150.000 people, and the numbers aren’t stagnating. On the other hand, we live in a world where the biggest technological changes are happening. The Internet is making our lives easier, and augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence aren’t just ‘terms’ anymore, they might be the solution we are looking for.

During the next Young Changemakers night we will Invite changemakers who are working on high tech solutions to tackle social issues. We will think about these possibilities and try to answer the question: Can technology solve poverty?

Whats in it for you
Together we will explore the possibilities and limits of using technology to solve social problems. Speakers from the industry will present their initiatives and show how they use technology to tackle social issues and create awareness.

In a creative brainstorm session you will be inspired and triggered to think beyond, and to come up with your own solution .
