Making social innovation thrive
In May 2018, the second Wayfinder took place in Istanbul, Turkey, convened by SIX, hosted by Zorlu Holding, powered by imece, in knowledge partnership with ATÖLYE and S360, and supported by the UNDP Regional Hub Istanbul and the Brookings Doha Centre.
One year on, the Wayfinder aimed to catalyse the social innovation ecosystems in Turkey and push the broader social innovation field by building on existing activity and diving deeper into two of the calls for action from London:
• Creating enabling platforms to enrich social innovation ecosystems
• Getting truly multi-sector in social innovation — with an emphasis on integrating corporate, government and philanthropic social innovation
The event brought people together from around the world to share learning on how social innovations succeed, explore ways to overcome barriers and challenges with this work and to prepare for the pressing challenges of the future. We hosted a public meeting with 500+ participants in person and 1000+ who joined virtually and we embarked on a shared global learning experience for two days with 350+ people from 30 countries.
“Think like a movement. Movements with a mission can change social norms, make markets and flip systems.”
