The Social innovation challenge’s second edition is a reality! We received registrations from 43 inspired teams from Sofia, Vratsa, Plovdiv, Ruse and Burgas, 134 challenged changemakers from quite various backgrounds and professions and a handful of missions (well, 43).

In the evening of 25 September each team received its mission! On Sept. 29 they delivered the solutions to their Angels (mentors) and to the Ideas Factory team.

On Oct. 1st followed regional presentations in all 5 cities involved in the challenge this year and the teams with the most sustainable and innovative solutions had the chance to present them in Sofia, where more people will hear and support them on Oct. 8th. These teams joined the Incubator for social innovations which was in the middle of October. After working with mentors for almost a month those teams will get the chance to look for sponsors and supporters at a spacial event during EMPATHEAST – the forum for empathy-driven social change organized by the Ideas Factory at the end of every year.
