Evoke, Free Online Game about Social Innovation and Social Change

I'm cross-posting this from Craig Zelizer's P&CDN list.

 

I'm going to balance my love of using games for learning with my lack of time by asking anyone who tries this game to share their impressions with me. Thanks! N

EVOKE is free to play and open to anyone, anywhere.

EVOKE is a ten-week crash course in changing the world.

It is free to play and open to anyone, anywhere.


The goal of the social network game is to help empower young people all over the world, and especially young people in Africa, to come up with creative solutions to our most urgent social problems. The game begins on March 3, 2010. Players can join the game at any time.


On May 12th, 2010 the first season of the game will end, and successful participants will form the first graduating class of the EVOKE network.

Players who successfully complete 10 game challenges will be able to claim their honors: Certified


EVOKE Social Innovator – Class of 2010.

Top players will also earn online mentorships with experienced social innovators and business leaders from around the world, seed funding for new ventures, and travel
scholarships
to share their vision for the future at the EVOKE Summit in Washington DC. (Learn
more about these rewards

EVOKE was developed by the World Bank Institute, the learning and knowledge arm of the World Bank Group, and directed by alternate reality game master Jane McGonigal.

EVOKE is for all ages; recommended age 13 and up.


This is not a simulation. You are about to tackle real problems.
  • Food security.
  • Energy.
  • Water security.
  • Disaster relief.
  • Poverty.
  • Pandemic.
  • Education.
  • Global conflict.
  •  Human rights.


Welcome to the Evoke Network. Welcome to your crash course in changing the world.


There’s an old saying here: ”If you have a problem, and you can’t solve it alone, evoke it.”

When we evoke, we look for creative solutions. We use whatever resources we have. We get as many people involved as possible. We take risks. We come up with ideas that have never been tried before.


An evoke is an urgent call to innovation. Evoking first started in Africa, but it can happen anywhere. And if you found this message, then it is your destiny to join us.


Join the EVOKE Network now and you’ll soon receive an alert that your first EVOKE mission is ready. Want to get a head start?
