Value(s) for Money? Philanthropy as a Catalyst for Social Change (March 6-9, 2014)
Increasing social and environmental challenges, writ globally, are raising the stakes for philanthropy to find "solutions". The deeply complex nature of these challenges, however, defies easy fixes and requires more sophisticated and diffuse systems level approaches. Is the philanthropic sector ready, or capable of meeting critical systemic challenges? Probably not, as seen through the lens of Michael Edwards in a recent think piece entitled 'Beauty and the Beast: Can Money Ever Foster Social Transformation?'.
Innovative funding mechanisms that support social change - like crowd-funding, social impact bonds, payments for eco-system services and prize-backed challenges - have diversified the funding landscape and brought in new resources. The system, however, is arguably out of balance with too much focus placed on revenue-generation, and directing financial resources, through the market. At the same time, less funding is available for the deeper, less tangible drivers of social change - change that is driven by the beneficiaries themselves and is inherently more democratic. Money, while a seemingly essential tool in change processes, can be a "curse", reinforcing or exacerbating the very circumstances and power imbalances at the heart of systemic social challenges.
The objective of this program, in partnership with Hivos, is to shape a new narrative on funding for deep social change that can influence current and future funding trends and global policies.
1) Value is presented
2) Picture of a tree in Caledon which I took during the fall
3) The leaves are the most visually striking aspect
4) If I could take it again, I would try to capture an image of all the trees in one big line
For many reasons, I like the above photos. Each speaks to me about different things I value. I like to think the soul resembles just such a montage of life events that color and depict the essence of our lives and character. Links noted below.

This was the best I could come up with for value. In real life it is easier to see, but my blinds and the angle they were opened at allowed more light to come in some places than in others. The ends are on the darker side, with the right end being a bit more predominant. The center is where the light came through the most, creating the lightest of shades before getting gradually darker as it moves out towards the ends.

A flag must serve as a distinguishable symbol of the context and values of the county. This submission, the “Howard County Key”, accomplishes this while maintaining a visually appealing design.
The field of the flag consists of black, yellow, aqua, and white patches depicting the shape of Howard County. The black and yellow form a strong base. These colors are taken from the Maryland flag, in honor of the state. This retains some of the culture of the Maryland flag, which while often well-liked, is divisive due to the history of its design; therefore, the Howard County Key abandons the crosses and patchwork of that flag but retains part of the color scheme. The aqua represents the forward-thinking uniqueness of Howard County, along with its famous (and beautiful) rivers. The white tidily rounds out the design so that the yellow center portion approximates the shape of the County as viewed on a map.
The centered “key” is the combination of two overlain astronomical symbols (now often co-opted by astrology) that define the history and future of the county. The first is the symbol of Ceres (the ancient Roman goddess of agriculture) in honor of the county’s continued agricultural production (and a nod to the former flag). The second is the symbol of Minerva (the goddess of wisdom) in honor of the county’s importance to the nation as a powerhouse in technology and research, such as through the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (the county’s largest employer).

1) This picture represents the element of Value. The different shades of red in the apples show this.
2) This photo was taken at Chudleigh's apple farm on thanksgiving. I approached this image when I saw the lightness to darkness in the colour.
3) I though I edited this photo really well and showed the colours change shades.
4) To improve this image, I could have tried to eliminate more green from the stems of the apples.
Brussels is coming back to what, coming back from where?
Beyond coming back from the pandemic, Brussels is coming back to the very heart of its values. It is back from a long gone future that we did not want to happen anyway.
Today, Brussels is becoming a metropolis out of the very depths of its essence. Brussels is natural, elemental, technological, at the service of its inhabitants and the world. Brussels is cracked and fractured, filled with bubbles of all kinds, like the best beers brewed along the Senne.
On Saturday 14 May 2022, TEDxBrussels *is back!* will explore such important themes at Brussels Expo (Palais 10). It will bring together citizens who are turning paradigms upside down by dreaming of a utopian world for tomorrow. A community that want to learn, exchange and create a unique local community within our capital.
The event will explore key issues for the future of our city:
- Green and climate transition
- Education and youth
- Diversity and inclusion
- Culture
- Governance
- Mobility
- Technology
- Security
- Housing & urbanism
- Employement
We all have within us the perfect Brussels, an ideal city that would represent a living place where our community can flourish. Come and explore it, contradict it, defend it and make it evolve together with our speakers. On this occasion, Palais 10 will be the heart of unforgettable experiences and a space for gastronomic and local discoveries.
Beyond an event, it represents an entire community that is reclaiming its city and helping it progress.
Look to the future, TEDxBrussels *is back!*
1) This image investigates value. It reflects on the element by using the waves in the photograph an the gradients of grey and black.
2) Subject matter of this photograph is water.
3) I think that the aspect of the image being in black and white adds a special touch to the image.
4) I would sharpen the image.

We spent a few days in Cardiff the capital of Wales. Virtually every person we met were friendly and helpful. Cardiff itself is an amazing place a well thought out mixture of old and new. We have never been to a town with so many arcades, I think you could walk round the whole town without going outside! We did this trip on a budget so decided to stay at the City Centre Premier Inn, wow what a great hotel. This was the first time I have used a Premier and left thinking how good it was. The staff were great, I do reccomend it, we loved our Welsh welcome from Alex "checking in is it?" Do as I do, ring ahead and ask for a room high up, we had an amazing view from the 9th floor. Well done people of Cardiff and Wales, you certainly do love your town and obviously appreciate the value of tourists. Oh, and eating out, amazing choice!
