What is an EVOKE? from Alchemy on Vimeo.
The World Bank Institute developed an online game aimed at social innovation and youth empowerment (“especially young people in Africa”, according to the website) called EVOKE. The game, which will be live for ten weeks until 12 May, 2010, puts players through missions whereby they must come up with creative solutions to social problems. The top players to successfully complete the challenges will be dubbed “Certified EVOKE Social Innovator – Class of 2010” which comes with rewards like online mentorships with social entrepreneurs, seed funding for ventures, and more. More details are available on EVOKE’s website.
