hinter–land ist ein interaktiver Audioguide, der zukunftsorientierten Initiativen in ländlichen Räumen eine Stimme gibt und so ein neues Bild vom Land jenseits von Schrumpfung und romantischer Idylle vermittelt. Die lokal Engagierten erzählen selbst von ihren Motivationen und Visionen, von Hindernissen und Erfolgen – die EntdeckerInnen, ob einheimisch oder TouristIn, hören die Geschichten über ihr Smartphone und können ihre eigenen Ideen einbringen. Land ist Zukunftsraum!

English:

Wir sind Kunterbunt und möchten dem Lebensmittelverlust den Kampf ansagen.

Landwirte produzieren regelmäßig eine Fülle an wertvollem Gemüse und Früchten, von welchen jedoch nur ein kleiner Anteil tatsächlich ins Regal im Supermarkt kommt. Der Grund dafür ist, dass diese Lebensmittel meist nicht den optischen Maßstäben entsprechen, das heißt sie sind womöglich zu klein, zu groß oder einfach nicht schön genug. Dieses Gemüse und Früchte werden dann entweder zur Biogasanlage gebracht oder einfach am Feld liegen gelassen.
Wir sind kunterbunt und wir wollen diesem wertvollen Gemüse und Früchten eine zweite Chance geben, indem wir sie direkt vom Landwirten oder von Sortierbetrieben abholen und sie als günstige, regionale und nachhaltige Kunterbuntkiste an den Endkonsumenten liefern.

English:

We are kunterbunt and we want to tackle food loss.
Farmers constantly produce an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, of these vast amounts only a small percentage ends up on regular supermarket shelves. The rest is often too big, too small or not pretty enough. Consequently, most of it is burned in biogas facilities or simply left on the field.
To change this, kunterbunt wants to buy imperfect fruits and vegetables from farmers and sorting facilities directly. This produce is then sold in convenient, competitively priced and tasty little kunterbunt boxes that are directly delivered to consumers, based on a subscription model.

Projekat Pametna bova bavi se rješavanjem problema izlovljavanja ribe eksplozivima koji već dugi niz godina nije riješen. Problem je u Crnoj Gori sveprisutan i organi vlasti zaduženi za to, uprkos velikom trudu i ulaganju, ne uspijevaju da se izbore sa tim. Među glavnim razlozima tog neuspjeha je veliko vrijeme između prijavljivanja krivolova i odziva organa vlasti. Ovo riješenje se upravo fokusira na smanjenje tog vremena tako što se izbacuje ljudski faktor i prijavljivanje krivolova automatizuje. Srž projekta je bova, koja bi bila opremljena hardverom i softverom originalnog dizajna i koja će biti u mogućnosti da detektuje lokaciju i jačinu eksplozije. To će raditi pomoću senzora kojiće biti instalirani unutar bove (eholokacija, hidrofoni, senzori pritiska). Signali koje senzori primaju biće obrađivani elektronikom koja se takođe nalazi u bovi i koja uključuje mikrokontrolere i module za radio komunikaciju. Svi podaci će se prenositi bežično u realnom vremenu do nadležnih organa, koji bi naoružani pravovremenom informacijom bili u mogućnosti kazniti neodgovorno lice.

Dok Tok je ideja koja ima dva cilja. Prvi je pokretanje socijalnog preduzeća koje će omogućiti stabilno finansiranje programa podrške mladima koji napuštaju vaspitno – popravni dom, a drugi njihovo zapošljavanje. Ideja je nastala kao rezultat višegodišnjeg rada sa ovom populacijom koji je pokazao da nemogućnost zapošljavanja predstavlja najveći factor rizika koji mlade ponovo vraća na “loš put”. Da bi se problem prevazišao bilo je potrebno osmisliti preduzeće koje će ponuditi proizvod koji ne postoji na domaćem tržištu a čija proizvodnja i plasiranje ne zahteva dugotrajne I teške obuke. Taj proizvod su glasovne čestitke, pozivnice I promotivni materijali a namenjene su kako fizčkim tako i pravnim licima. Umesto dosadašnjih muzičkih čestitki ovaj proizvod opmogućava da se snimi željena poruka ili melodija. Naravno, postoji još puno mogućnosti kako bi ova tehnologija mogla da se koristi, a ovo je samo njihov početak.

Ovo je projekat proizvodnje gradjevinskog materijala koji ce se koristiti u građevinskoj industriji. Presovanjem plasticnog otpada i peska u blokove i druge oblike, recikliramo plastiku i umanjujemo njen negativan uticaj na životnu sredinu. Naši proizvodi će biti jeftiniji od standardnih građevinskih materijala, u mnogome cak i boljeg kvaliteta i time pristupacniji stambeno nezbrinutim kategorijama stanovništva.

Idejni tvorac želi da reši dva problema: ogromnu količinu plakata kojima je grad izlepljen i približan broj kuća bez fasada širom zemlje. Učestalim prelepljivanjem plakata (koji se u suprotom pretvaraju u otpad) dobija se višeslojna struktura koja bi mogla da ima dobra toplotno izolacijska svojstva. Presovanjem plakata dobio bi se materijal koji je teško zapaljiv.  Kako se projekat zasniva na reciklaži i ekološkoj odgovornosti bilo bi potrebno da se na pre plakata na određena mesta postave vodootporne eko ploče koje su sačinjenje od recikliranih tetrapaka.

Ovaj tim radi na rešenju koje će prelazak vozila i pešaka preko šina učiniti sigurnijim. Kako postoji veliki broj puteva i staza koji se seku sa šinama (a posebno u ruralnim područjima) a koji su pritom nepravilno obezbeđeni, ovaj tim je osmislio automatizovan sistem koji će to učiniti. Safe road rešenju nije potrebno ljudsko upravljanje, ali mu je svakako potrebna ljudska ruka za izradu. U te svrhe ovaj tim planira da zaposli osobe sa invaliditetom i time dodatno poboljša život u lokalnoj zajednici.

“Zoundark” audio igra prikazuje probleme osoba sa oštećenim vidom široj javnosti, kreiranjem simulacije svakodnevnih problema slepog naučnika Pola, koji na svom putu otkriva zanimljiv svet koji se otvara samo osobama sa oštećenim vidom. Igrica je bazirana na audio tehnologiji realistične simulacije zvuka u prostoru. Kroz povratne informacije prikupljene od strane igrača koji su isprobali igricu, tim je stvorio jedinstvene uslove kako bi oni mogli na osnovu zvuka da steknu osećaj da se nalaze u najrazličitijim okruženjima, kao što su: more, džungla, šuma, prometna ulica i drugi.

Кіноbus – це start–up проект, що є альтернативним переїзним кінотеатром в обличчі ретро автобусу. Він їздитиме від невеличких сіл до великих міст, показуючи національні та зарубіжні кіноновинки на відкритих майданчиках та у креативних просторах. Проект отримуватиме дохід з продажу квитків на фільми, їжі та напоїв. Завдяки цьому проекту ми зможемо зрозуміти у якому місці найбільш гостро стоїть проблема дозвілля молоді, де найбільш доцільно створювати стаціонарні культурні хаби. Основною цільовою аудиторією є соціально активна молодь віком від 15 до 30 років. Проект націлений на популяризацію кінематографу в Україні, вирішення проблем молоді, пов’язаних з проводженням вільного часу, розвитком інфраструктури міста, створення робочих місць, привернення уваги до соціальних проблем творами кінематографії.

Re-beau — це фешн-аксесуари, що допомагають зробити планету місцем вільним від пластику. Ми створюємо біжутерію та аксесуари із переробленого пластика в Україні.  Наше кредо: responsible beauty (відповідальна краса). 

Частина прибутку від продажу аксесуарів йде на прибирання засмічених ділянок: ми чистимо засмічені пляжі та ліси, а із зібраних матеріалів робимо стильні аксесуари. Таким чином клієнти, купляючи прикрасу, — фінансують прибирання планети та просування ідеї циклічної економіки. 

Хочемо показати людям, що зі сміття можна отримати корисні предмети і сировину для виробництва нових товарів. Наш ідеал — циркулярна економіка. Людство має повторно використовувати усі можливі ресурси, щоб зберегти довкілля. Впровадження циклічної економіки в Україні та по всьому світі домопоже зробити нашу планету чистішою, а розвиток економіки в світі — більш сталим.

NDRYSHE gets over million views on its videos and has over 70 thousand likes on Facebook.
We are an educational initiative that works through a Facebook page.
The uniqueness of our page is that our videos are informational and displayed through animations.
Stories here are not about political issues, but they deal with educational or motivational information for our society.
The motivational part touches the social issues and problems that have plagued our society. It teaches us how to face the challenges we have during our lifetime, such as how to fight depression or how to relieve stress.
The educational part includes general information related to health and education of our society, such as symptoms that warn of various diseases, what food we should eat, or how to prepare our children for school.

Our idea is to place fresh salad in a jar (glass).
For our product, we’ll use exclusively domestic products from local farmers for which we know have a product placement issue.
In this way, we wish to help in the reduction of this problem as well, since these products will be made by our grandmothers and mothers which are great at it, but unfortunately, in our society they belong to a group of people who are endangered and who find it very difficult to get a job.
Salad and Jar has a product which belongs to the category „healthy fast food”.
This product is a meal, a salad packed in a jar which is ready to be taken and picked up.
Above all, this product is intended for working people and students who live and work in the city and who, because of their lifestyle, do not have enough time to prepare food on their own, but want to eat healthy.
It is also intended for young and old active people who can eat this while they are training and in this way, quickly, easily and while enjoying it, feed their body well.
We are sure that this business will be successful and sustainable and that it will affect changes in society.

It’s time for Montenegro to breathe! Air pollution is one of the biggest ecological problems of today. The consequences of this burning problem are felt by the citizens of Montenegro, mostly in the North. In the North of Montenegro, citizens feel the consequences of this problem for up to a hundred days a year, since they inhale polluted air. Air purifiers are very expensive and very difficult to get. In Montenegro, it is necessary to set aside two average wages to get an air purifier. We are here to present a solution to this problem.
Our solution is presented by the „Prodiši” („Breath-in”) team and it is a device that is affordable to every Montenegrin home, since it costs very little, and solves the problem of air pollution as well as branded expensive air purifiers. When we analyzed what the air purifiers bring to the table, we found out that the only thing solving this problem is a „hepa” filter, that can be found on a regular fan, while everything else is esthetics or the sheel of the device itself. These filters cost very little and can be obtained through our project.
We’re here to distribute „hepa” filters to every home, and then you can use them with your old fans, giving them new life, or with air conditioners, by placing „hepa” filters on them, and have absolutely clean, one hundred percent clean air in your home. Also if they opt for this option, the users can buy our air purifier which purifies air up to a hundred percent.

Thinkmilk develops devices to monitor vital signs of cows and check milk substances rate and diseases, using machine learning to predict potential losses and allowing Brazilian farmers to prevent epidemics and reach international milk quality standards.

Problem description
In 2050, the world will need to produce 70% more food to feed an additional 2.3 billion people on the planet. Natural resources are limited and poverty is one of the biggest causes of environmental impact in the world. In the world, 570 million small and medium farmers don’t have enough money or technical skills to manage the quality of their products. Therefore, the milk harvested by them contains high rates of bacteria and somatic cell count, what makes it unfit to be consumed and so rejected by dairy cooperatives, causing the waste of thousands of liters of milk per day in the world, enough milk to feed the 795 million hungry people “Zero Hunger” UN’s goal aims to. Moreover, small and medium farmers represent 58% of the gross worth of Brazilian dairy industry, evaluated in US$ 7 billion. Improving their revenues would bring incomes to 50 million of poor people in the country, helping the country to be closer to accomplish UN’s 9th goal, “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”. On the other hand, laboratories control bacteria and somatic cells in milk samples using chemical analysis. This method is expensive (weekly tests are done using samples from each cow’s milk), slow and produce laboratory waste. Considering 90% of the drinkable water in the world comes from aquifers and Brazil has several problems to manage its waste, Thinkmilk is focused on bringing technology to achieve responsible production in milk harvesting, as UN expects with its 12th goal, “Responsible Consumption and Production”.

Solution
Thinkmilk exports the Swiss quality and efficiency to improve the productivity and profits of dairy industry in Europe and in South America. The technology consists in an embedded system composed by two modules: first, a portable device to check the milk substances rate (fat, protein, lactose) and the presence of zoonoses (mastitis, tuberculosis and brucellosis) in milk samples. Second, a wearable device resistant to environment conditions used by cows to check their geolocation and vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, stress, heat, etc.). All the collected data is stored in the cloud and can be easily accessed by the farmer or by the authorized veterinarians using an intuitive and easy to use app for smartphones. It also generates analytics and graphs that can help the farmer to improve the quality of the milk and to quickly prevent the herd in case of risk of diseases and epidemics in the region. Thinkmilk innovates by offering an intelligent and physical technique that reduces laboratory waste produced in traditional analysis, being safer to the environment and allowing data gathering to generate instant diagnostics and forecast by matching milk diseases and vital signs of cows with the use of machine learning.

As a cafe, the Corner would offer young people the opportunity to learn more about prominent public figures in a pleasant ambience and entertain themselves. A different well-known individual would be chosen every week – a person which has had significant influence in the field of art, sports, science – as an inspiration and theme for the activities within the Corner. Visitors would be informed about the life and heritage of these individuals through video-boards with documentary films and archive photographs.

We gather these units of waste and send it for recycling.

„Prozorište” is a unique concept in Republic of Serbia and its uniqueness is expressed through organizing travels of different dimensions in the sphere of culture. The idea of these travels is to promote history, culture, literature and theater and at the same time give youngsters of 15 to 19 years old a chance to enter the labor market. Those young people have the role of a curator – an actor who introduces travelers with the spirit and stories of the places visited. The state doesn’t recognize the importance of culture and therefore allocates the least amount of funds for culture, which is why they promote it. „Prozorište” takes you onto trips during which you are not just a passive tourist, but a real traveler.

Global economic crisis and transition process have led to high unemployment rate in Serbia, with young people being especially affected.  For the age group 15-24, the unemployment rate is 43.1%.

Green roofs – „Zeleni krovovi” is an idea which would implement green oasis on flat roof tops. The main idea of „Zeleni krovovi” is to embed natural environment which includes green carpets, trees and flowers into urban city environment. Green roofs or green gardens provide users numerous advantages, such as space for relaxation and recreation as well as possibility for residents to spend quality time in natural environment and all that in just few steps away from their apartment. At the same time, green oasis would solve several ecological issues such as minimizing the urban heat-island effect, air filtration and reducing energy consumption during summer periods.

Membership fees will enable us to create information materials, video guides, provide peer counselling and organise educational and friendly events for parents.

“Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.” Today’s challenges like climate change and increasing poverty seem so huge and complex, that people tend to resign instead of getting active.Therefore we have started bgood, a web community designed to inspire and incentivize people to change little things in their daily live (recycling waste, saving energy etc.) or make bigger commitments like volunteering for non- profit- organizations. For every task a user fulfills, she/he receives virtual good.coins, which can then be exchanged for goodies provided by our partner companies.

The training course “Digital Coach” strives to bridge the digital gap between “Digital Natives” and “Silver Surfers”: young participants are empowered to guide elderly people through their first steps within digital environments. The first half of the Course focusses on media literacy and coaching skills – within the second half, participants are guided to use their newly gained knowledge right away. Therefore Buddy-Teams of a Teenager and a Senior are formed. As an additional and just as important value, both target groups get an insight in their way of life and might revise stereotypes.

Refugees Welcome Austria – Why shouldn’t refugees in Austria be able to live in shared flats (or other normal housing situations) instead of mass accommodation?
We thought the same & found a way to make it possible. You sign up with your (shared) flat. We simply need some information on your housing situation. Through a refugee organisation, we will put you in touch with a person who fled to your city. We can help you find ways to finance the rent. Your new flatmate will move in! Of course we will continue to support you.

Share and care is about elderly people or slightly physically disabled people who lend their cars to younger people. In exchange, they help to maintain the cars (i.e. washing, vacuum cleaning) or run errands (i.e. do the food shopping).

Have you ever come to your home or garage and thought you own way too many things? We think overconsumption is a common problem of the first world countries. We also strongly believe that the things you own end up owning you. Ownership requires time, space and resources. Why producing 100 drills when 10 would be enough? This is why we’ve started Sharygator, a place that is connecting people who own something they don’t use on a regular basis with people who are looking for that specific thing right that minute! Sharygator enables people to experience more with less and be a tiny bit freer.

The Third Parent – The project is focused on the situation of step-parents in the Czech Republic. According to the statistics about 25 000 divorced people form new (re-composed) families every year, often with children from the previous marriage. In this situation, the step-parents enter the stage. Although they challenge a lot of complicated situations, there are almost no existing ways of support for them. Such situation affects overall feeling in the step-family including all – the step-parent, the parent and the children.

Good Earth – This way of production and cultivation of food contributes to a remarkable fall of quality of food and quality of life. In addition, it generates an unsustainable eco-system. Surely, one of the most our important social responsibility is to save the eco-system of Earth, and deliver better future to our successors. Organic and bio-dynamic production is the answer that looks promising. But, we are going to support that it in a unique way, by creating a closed system where everybody will be involved and part of that system with building blocks of fairness and trust. What is the output? A smile!

Eco Crates – Bees pollinate around 80% wild plant species and they are responsible for one third of our food. Without the bee there is no pollination, and without pollination there is no yield. Food chain in eco system is disrupted and unfortunately that can bring into question survival of all living life on planet. Many people don’t know that plants that they use everyday, are those plants that attract and feed pollinators. Our product „Eko gajbice“ is made with careful selection and combination of plants. „Eko gajbice“ are created as crates of health or mini city pharmacies that consist from medicinal herbs, and edible crates or mini supermarkets that consist from edible and spicy herbs. Our product can adapt to any space, it is made from natural and recycle materials, with interesting design and with additional material about growing and maintaining plants. Creating and maintaining mini habitats for bees in urban environments, on balconies and terraces of users, every owner of „Eko gajbice“ is participating in forming one bigger city network of bee oasis and that way we are helping bees to find their corner in unfriendly city environment and in same time creating nicer place for us and our neighbors.

Young for Old – In three years of work, the team of young people has been built, that team decided that their work will be beneficial for seniors. According to population census 22% of population is older than 65 years and many of them live alone. Instead of them we are waiting in lines, doing payments, buying medications and groceries and regularly visiting them. We agreed that we should say thank you to the elderly because they deserved it. In order to preserve environment and promote sustainable ways of transport, we provide all services by bikes. Sustainability of the project is achieved by providing services to the people younger than 70 from where the highest incomes come from fast food delivery and services of marketing and promotions. Social Impact Award will mean big step to sustainability for our project, possibility of expansion to other cities in Serbia and expansion of services. As citizens of Pirot with use of bicycles we are reducing number of young unemployed people, we are helping elderly, preserving environment and for every 1000 KM passed we are saving 150 euros. Today you don’t have 70, but tomorrow you will have. Vote for us.

School Companion – If we take in count car accidents, school violence and street criminal, movement of kids trough urban environments is something that we need to look for. Our youngest are our greatest treasure and because of that we are trying to provide them safe and care free growing up. Bearing in mind working hours some parents doesn’t have possibility to walk their kids to school and other activities every day. “Školski pratilac“ is person that will care for one child or group of kids, at a certain path. Those are adults with authority that are educated in fields of safety, work with children and first aid. Their selection and engagement is done by parents and advantage will have unemployed persons with experience in already mentioned fields and students. “Školski pratilac“ for their work will have financial compensation. Survey done in Belgrade elementary schools has shown that 70% of parents would use service of escort for their children. Our idea is unique on the market and available to everyone on the territory of the city. Engagement of “Školski pratilac“ is decreasing unemployment , giving parents safety of their loved ones, it saves precious time and inspires trust in community members. Vote for us and be sure that we are caring about your children.

Healthy Snack: „Healthiness that tastes” – Healthy snack project was created on the basis of food problems of children in elementary schools. Children get money from parents to buy some and nobody controls or coordinates, what exactly do the children buy. Hence children choose unhealthy food such as chips, sweetened beverages, chocolate bars, etc.

We propose a solution to this problem in form of vending machines filled with fresh, healthy and nutritionally balanced products. The machine is going to use an ID card technology and so children are not going to be in contact with money, which could be used for other purposes.

We provide a service to connect neighbors, who are in need of a favor with other neighbors, who have the resources, skills or abilities to fulfill that need.

The problem:
Social isolation in urban neighborhoods due to increased mobility and the rise of social networks

The solution:
To decrease social inhibitions and enhance social behaviour.
To expand the local network and encourage reciprocal beneficence

in short: To promote the exchange of favors!

You have a mobile application that gives you the right code to unlock a bike in front of you. After that you just ride wherever you want to. And you lock the bike anywhere you want for someone else to pick it up.

I want Romanian Carrot! – Ca studenti, petrecem mult timp in incinta facultatii, fara a avea acces la o gustare sanatoasa. Din acest motiv, ne-am gandit sa sustinem o alimentatie bazata pe fructe si legume, urmarind aprovizonarea universitatilor si a corporatiilor cu altfel de automate.

Maker City Meidlung – “Werkstatt Meidling” is concerned with the development of an urban design concept for Meidling. The goal is to make fallow buildings and business premisses usable and publicly accessible again through architectural interventions. Through a network of public workshops the goal is to bring new life into the abandonned property of Meidling. Connected with affordable studio space, this way small creative islands emerge scattered throughout the district. There is a great deal of interest in crafts in this day and age again. Young people are knitting, baking, cooking and gardening again. Often, however, the space and means to pursue these interests are missing. „Werkstadt Meidling” would therefore like to set up professionally equipped workspaces for everyone on all sorts of topics (wood workshop, plant workshop, film workshop, cooking workshop), where young and old have access to machines such as laser cutters, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, greenhouses, etc. and get important tips from experienced people. The result are creative islands of encounter in which knowledge and talents can be exchanged and Meidling can bring back a piece of its old craftmanship mentality.

Original text:

Maker City Meidling – “Werkstadt Meidling” befasst sich generell mit der Ausarbeitung eines städtebaulichen Konzepts für Meidling. Ziel ist es durch architektonische Interventionen brachliegende Gebäude und Geschäftlokale wieder nutzbar und öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. Durch ein Netzwerk aus öffentlichen Werkstätten soll wieder Leben in den Leerstand Meidlings kommen. Verbunden mit leistbaren Atelierräumlichkeiten bilden sich so kleine kreative Inseln über den gesamten Bezirk verstreut. Es herrscht gerade in der heutigen Zeit wieder ein großes Interesse an Handwerk. Junge Menschen, stricken, backen, kochen, gärtnern wieder. Oft fehlen aber die Räumlichkeiten und Mittel um diesen Interessen nachgehen zu können. “Werkstadt Meidling” möchte deshalb zu unterschiedlichsten Themen (Holzwerkstatt, Pflanzenwerkstatt, Filmwerkstatt, Kochwerkstatt), professionell ausgestattete Arbeitsräume für Jedermann einrichten, in denen Jung und Alt Zugang zu Maschinen, wie Lasercuttern, CNC-Fräsen, 3D-Druckern, Gewächshäusern etc. haben und dort wichtige Tipps von erfahrenen Leuten bekommen können. Es entstehen also kreative Inseln der Begegnung in denen Wissen und Talente ausgetauscht werden können und die Meidling ein Stück ihrer alten Handwerksmentalität zurück bringen.
