according to the tse nok that is the entity of
government that registers the NGOs in
Argentina there are 16,000 ongs
we estimate that in all
Latin America and almost one million
wimdu we are asking all the
time how can we take advantage of
technologies that already exist
so that these organizations can
have still more impact they are
having
and not only that, but how can we get there
at 16,000 Argentina and the almost
million of all Latin America
two years ago I put myself for the first time
a virtual reality helmet in a
conference and they moved me to a field
of refugees in Syria
Little did he know about the refugee issue
in Syria and for the first time I felt that the
technology had really arrived
had been in simulators and in another
type of spaces where the
3d reality but this time I put them on
the helmets and I said pucha today to Syria already
a girl who took me to walk around
the whole field and a half counting what
happened what will be your problem I
I took a little
moved by the reality that touched me
live but above all hopeful of
how do we bring this
Argentine and Latin American technology
so we can help a lot of
other projects and a lot of other
organizations
and so it was that a few months ago more
in a meeting with a producer of
contained in 360 degrees that is called
year and a foundation that works themes
Oncology works with patients
oncology that is called where I want
to be
we came together to try what it was like to bring
another reality to patients while
are doing the treatment of
chemotherapy a lot you will know that
that process is not the most attractive and
many people while they are there
they would like to be in another
side
and that’s how we brought those helmets
to hospitals
this was tested in three hospitals of the
City of Buenos Aires and with landscapes
walks on the beach hiking the
forest at some point until we arrived
an exit to the court in the tunnel a
independent racing and people felt
he was on the court and they passed
some interesting things that we
the doctors and the people of the
foundation as for example the
experience that a priori one thinks that
is very individual generated after
share these people while
they did the chemo and they were in that other
reality and they are describing their
comrades what they lived and they
they had for example I’m in a sea
Now I’m getting wet different things and
to our surprise after
some weeks some
doctors and they told us they still believed
without scientific evidence that this
this treatment within the treatment
could have positive effects on the
same treatment of chemotherapy not
we expected it not even
we imagined and now understanding this
potential that this technology has
we are thinking about how we can
climb and how can we collect more
data about really what it is that
is happening with patients who use
this treatment
and from there also take it
after other other areas by
example education or people that
they are deprived of their freedom too

this one technology of reality
virtual
the interesting thing is that it ‘s super
accessible and most of you with
the cell phone they have
you only have to have a gyroscope that
is a functionality that the
Most new phones more
a small piece of cardboard that has two
plastic lenses that cost 120 pesos
and they will be able to build tomorrow
you downloading the model of
internet with that technology very
simple you can do this and that’s what
we are thinking all the time on wii u
s
what are the technologies that are
available to get more
profit simple technologies not the
pot
nothing very extraordinary but things that
there are for example an online map
you once searched for a map
they try to find your home or your office
obviously we all did
I do not know if they know but the people who
live in towns or settlements when
do sum on an online map it
find a gray block
according to the latest survey he did
roof in only in the city of
buenos aires live to 82 thousand 500 families
that is 82,500 families that do not know
can visualize on a map
two years ago another organization was
approached that is called so that the
civil association for equality and
justice and he told us this problem we
He counted not only this but the problems
that brings prepared for example that for
an ambulance entering a villa
presents a challenge many times because
they did not have they did not know the streets and
the inputs and also another problem
what they told us was that a person
when you are looking for work and your
potential employer wants to see where
lives
is going to find a gray block for
So he’s going to assume that he lives in a
villa and many times this is a case of
discrimination
then what we left also
taking advantage of technologies
available at that time we did
with a gps device
we went for a walk together with the neighbors
for these neighborhoods
at the beginning they were in five villas of
the city then expanded to 13 others
where that walk was recorded
the outline of the streets in the corridors and
other places that until recently
a gray block
from that we raise all that
information to an online map that
llama open street map is something like
the wikipedia of the maps where each one
can go up a street or a street
even a center or point of interest
collaboratively and from that
we built a platform that
allowed the same neighbors of these
neighborhoods can monitor the execution
of public works within the villages and
also monitor without service
public that the right one was coming
so it was that after a year and a half
we got the city government
take these maps as maps
official
if you today enter the official map
of the city government are going to
find these paths is
invisibilized by luck and in reality
what we are doing there was to achieve
greater participation on the part of
neighbors involved the Italians others
get involved in your problems and this
happened in this organization and they spend
so many other NGOs and yet many
Sometimes we are collecting data and
collecting a lot of information
that after a little we sometimes do something
concrete with the sun and from that
was that we also decided to design what
we call both a field camp
campaign camp
then for two days we left
with a group of five different axes
themes health gender environment
transport and we invite also 30
people from different fields with
different points of view with different
learning to work together
for two days to arrive at a
campaign that serves that
organization has analyzed this group
organizations to solve a cause
social and it was after these days
wonderful that came out five
bells
two of them I ‘m going to tell you a room
that here in the city of córdoba
there is an organization called the
Our Cordoba network has among its
objectives measure the goals that you
pose from here of the municipality
and of course there are many times that this data
they are difficult to put together or measure and
calculate in some way then
design a campaign that they will see
surely from february march
which is called the bondi vote the bondi
you launch a robot with which you what
they use public transport they will be able to
chat from February to March and in
that chat with a robot make a robot with
with good fun and in Cordovan wave
and and in this chat you will be able to
identify what time it is
have you wait in the trap
ie public from
information generated by a chat between
the citizen and a pretty tool
simple as is a facebook robot for
to be able to identify the delay times
and with that of course incide and
make sure that the government complies with
the goals that were raised and another case
that came out as a result of this work
co-creation between these people who
they came and the organizations was the
Trans network is a network composed by
transgender and transgender transvestites in
where they worked on a campaign to
fight for the identity law of
gender in the other 13 countries
Latin Americans there is no such law
exists in argentina in uruguay in
Bolivia and not in other countries of the
region therefore a
campaign to be able to work and improve
that situation
but of course, as social organizations
Of course there are a lot of
more opportunities and there are many
organizations in many projects that
has much more potential impact
however, we have some challenges
ahead and between those challenges we
we find first the need to
be more transparent as a sector and
generate more confidence for citizens
to convey to better things
that we do second think a little more
big we encourage you to dream a little more
and think bigger and third
embrace technology a little more
take advantage of the things we have
available as sector as
civil society organizations and
Henry Ford said 80 years ago that the
true progress is achieved by putting
technology available to everyone and what
that we say in west that the
true impact you get by putting
technology and people reach
the social causes more
