Scale VS diffusion: a new model for sustainable development | Margherita Pagani | TEDxMilano


social impact

there is a lot of talk about it and not the same

time we do not know what it is

treat a bit of an urban legend

you do not know how those who are the ones work

reference actors and above all

because it seems to have more and more to that

do with everyone instead of a few

insiders one of the sentences

favorite on this subject for me is the

fact that social impact can not

more to afford to be just right

it must become effective

in fact, if we think about the projects

social have never had a great deal

functional but emotional motivation is one

what happens to want to do the

good the right also effectively

however when we look at effectiveness

in social projects

let’s start a couple of Christmas immediately

problems the first all the problems

social issues are with problems means that

they are not linear problems

systemic complexes that are not

solvable or attacking an appearance

isolated or by a single actor the second

the life ladder even when we manage to

find a particular project

effective in 90 percent of cases not

has a structure that allows you to

arrive in all the locations where

that necessary solution

This is a problem

it’s a problem because it means that

even when we manage to invest

enough time resources and

energies in finding a solution

effective

then we block ourselves for popular models

in obsolete this dynamic e

further fueled by the fact that

we are still attached to models

reactive something happens there is a crisis

we act urgently, we try to contain

damage with extremely fragmented

isolated never coordinates and with useless

duplication of efforts only now thanks

information begins to arise

new paradigm that pro active that

that says but if we know how it works if

we know what happens because why

we do not use the information we have at

layout of effective models e

we have at the same time to prevent the worst

but it’s really just a question of

time savings money energies

or there’s something interesting about it

that today psychogenealogy teaches us

that the traumas caused by crises like

the holocaust

chronic malnutrition violence

social or refugee crisis create

of psychological and social consequences

genetic yes also genetic has been

proved that these traumas have

10-year consequences transmitted

from generation to generation

until they are resolved or healed

this fact puts us in front of the

awareness that making the system

save resources or prevent or

collaborate or share models already

it’s not a nice idea it becomes an obligation

moral

yes but you are wondering who has this

blonde that the 5 afternoon of one

Sunday tells us these things

complex so just to know each other

better before continuing

I am 28 years old I studied with near brera

then a year in bilbao and I played twelve

years volleyball and I graduated in

2011 with a thesis on art and psychology e

sociology nice mix

I think so too when I am

graduate in I had the paleest and

what to do I felt mine lost

passion for social policies

international for technology for the

psychology could not find a

channel to express themselves

a space still undermines the mark of the

generational and economic crisis that

We’ve known it for ten years now

2012 is the year for me

which I allowed my urgency to

find my place in the world had the

better and started traveling and

study the social impact models of

sustainable development in more than 20 countries

in the world from macao here in Milan to

bahrain israel from cern to fields

refugees in Greece and Macedonia

I started to notice something a

factor in common a note an element

appellant who united the realities

more disparate than the planet earth, that is

the onset of movements that they put to

layout models that simply

had the goal of allowing the

people to act wherever they were

keep this model works use where

you’re still part of one more thing

great a cause bigger than you but it is

very important that you act on a scale

local

this thing started intriguing me

started investigating and I discovered that

the value of this model goes a lot

beyond what it could

imagine was indeed demonstrated

that when our brain has exposed

to the cessation of information flows on

crisis problems trauma tragedies

we develop empathy we develop one

empathic curve and a consequent

need to act and react and do

something about it

in short we are designed for

see other people suffer and

wanting to end the game provokes

that suffering

so far so good, unfortunately, unfortunately

it has also been shown that when

these information flows overwhelm us

and they become too many as today happens with

our phones our computers o

emilia

we play our brain says not

I can not you direct danger

you’re overloading me with information

on problems and negative things you do not give me

the ability to react in one way

that I can feel my reach and

remove the plug

we all know the consequences

isolation distance apathy disinterested

ignorance, exclusion, intolerance

violence these are factors whose

causes we know very well and elodie

nomeni in 2015 when I understood that not

we can more afford to ignore them

because around me there were only

thousands and thousands of refugees

migrants but also in thousands and thousands

of citizens and local communities and all

with the same question in mind what

let’s make where we start what I can

do it because I need to do

something and so a door was born

I felt the urgency to create

an organization that focuses

only exclusively on find

analyze and select projects

the existing social environmental impact

effective and make them available to

other realities all over the world

trivially we are a bridge between talent

the genius of the local social impact that

he could never spread his formula

in all necessary places and students

entrepreneurs, university researchers

Governments companies interested in acting pre

social causes and simply blocked

from the complexity of this sector o

of the conditions that surround them the

project was born a year ago with we

decided to launch a first pilot

using only pdf we have chosen one

project that I will do that allows

create blood donation places in

case of emergencies in schools or in

gym

3 it was essential for us to understand how

being able to communicate a project does not

to come simply

known then emotional factor

emotional but because it was replicated

functional the project in less than three

months has been replicated in 19 cities of the

world so we continued to

to work because for us it is fundamental

find out how to use big data for example

and tomorrow but shining to remove how much

as much as possible the bottlenecks of the

current processes

we have chosen another project in

exchange of the week of exchange

climate is a product that allows a

any educator activist professor

to do an activity with young people in

which highlights the fundamental

connection between what we consume

every day and how that affects the

climate change

we launched it a month ago in English

and in Spanish it had been translated by

community in French in Arabic in

Portuguese will be used in more than

fifty cities in the world

avoid who knows the marketing budgets 0

the marketing budget all advertisement

they are the first reason we know each other

a lot of projects that do not

they are necessarily the best while

lards remain unobtainable in the shadows

lost forever and then for us

fundamental to succeed in using design

psychology of information and technology

to create an alternative paradigm is

one of the pillars of this paradigm

alternative for us is what

we call blueprint a blue print is one

formula the recipe the set of

components that makes a project a

effective project the value proposition

so we do not use more descriptions

academic or emotional from why a

project is good and right but why

it works and what are the elements the

take into consideration when one

person the organization wanted it

replicate in some proposed for

give you an example

one of the things

that we specify in the blue print is the

project type is an intervention

it’s something that lasts a few weeks i

a few months and keep it over time

what is the impact generated which is the

value that proposed

what is the target there are the beneficiaries

what is the degree of complexity how much

it is accessible to the famous non-employees

works

what are the times and the resources on average

necessary included for example laws

details or government permits

what is the compatibility of context

in which contexts it was used

so in what other contexts

there is a very high proof of the age that i

effects are positive and which are the

further applications took place

reference

another thing we do, we align ourselves

to large companies of sustainability

like the 20 30 agenda that is marking a

north to which all point included but

they are not necessarily giving any

formulas that allow people

organizations begin to act

implement achieve these

goals if I think of that girl in the

2012 lost

Today I know that I have met my place

because I know people every day

organizations whose genius whose

Incredible projects make an impact

local social but I never thought that

it really came at the time when

they could change the world

an example

here is a project of one

organization in argentina

cordova who found the way to

build with one local materials

open source mechanical press formula

open and take dirty pet then

not even to wash plastic bags and make

of bricks closes amateurs between

wooden plates with which they are made

panels to build hyper social houses

hyper-existing insulators and for reading

one hundred percent built by women from

vulnerable communities but above all a

third cheaper than any

prefabricated social this is a

project that can make the difference for

the lives of people in places where there is

plastic absence of houses as for

example in locations affected by

natural disasters

another project this such california

they take the bus but never take it

already they can not circulate for excessive

co2 emissions for example because

they are old empties them to paint there

put a bath in a shower and create seats

hygienic properties that run for the

city ​​and allow the homeless not

just to have access to hygiene

basic but do a job interview or

review their loved ones or still liter

slide that already does not use only bottles of

recycled plastic but recycle cassettes

electric lantern kerosene batteries and

teaches vulnerable local communities in

all the world how to use theirs

tools their capabilities for

build solar lamps also working

not just successful rudeness energy

o security or wifi access

these are projects that could never

become multinational monopolies no

their formulas, however, would have no value

in every single location they come from

replicate I believe it is then

let’s do it in a moment of crisis

historical with solutions from above

non-existent or that do not represent us

reappropriate the ability to act

to create offers of alternatives

create a sector of social enterprise

really effective really measured and

really inclusive because we know it

that turn around on the other side does not do that

move away from the awareness that

already it is not about responsibility

social but social opportunity

why dream of a better future

and realize that you have all the means

to build it is our biggest one

opportunities today say that if you want

you can and then then must what is the

your blueprint thanks

[Applause]
