3) Host a (mini or not so mini) Local Summit with a few friends or your neighborhood! Learn more in our [community outreach partner letter with local summit registration form], And start spreading the word through our [social media channels!]

FROM THE GROUND UP

By sourcing what works locally, and sharing it world-wide, local partner events are a mechanism to exchange solutions, ideas and appropriate technologies within and between participating communities.

In 2016 we build on our efforts to advance local solutions on UN global targets which began with the lead up to our first Olympic biennial, London 2012.

Our first African Local Summit of 2012 united local best practices across Africa around the Millennium Development Goals and gathered citizen input into the issues that mattered most to their communities via mobile voting (with partners, The Needs Report).
