We need a radio talk-back for good ideas by Australians
We need features in the press to encourage good ideas by
Australians
We need patrons
We need a skilled grant-organizer
We need schools and community groups to send in good ideas and develop their own projects
And
Take up some of these good ideas yourselves - and make them better
OzIDEAS is a place to find out about new ideas, and to send in your own to the Global Ideas Bank. Ideas can be sent from home, school or office.
Your ideas can be brilliant, zany or simple.
State the problem that your idea helps to solve in a short sentence, set out your idea in under 250 words, and add any further information, as a file for downloading.
This is a way that you can do something about those good ideas that you have and find out about the successful projects of others.
Ideas are fun to think up, and they stop your brain going rusty.
Practical action is a sporting challenge.
Ideas can be as simple as a fun idea for a party, as high-powered as a different money system, or seem as zany and ridiculous as going to the Moon was always thought to be until fifty years ago.
We also hope to publish in print. The originators of good ideas deserve recognition, and their ideas should be spread as widely as possible. It is hard to get publicity for Australian ideas in our media - an Internet site like the Global Ideas Bank can give everyone an opportunity.
WE ALSO LINK TO THE Global Ideas Bank!
SEND your ideas and projects to the
of the Global Ideas Bank, so that they can be seen, discussed and rated by other readers, and will be entered for the annual £1,000 UK sterling prizes awarded annually for the best socially innovative non-technological ideas and projects. For details see the
at http://www.globalideasbank.org
The new online Global Ideas Bank Suggestion Box has 25 categories to choose from, ranging from 'education' and 'health' to 'politics' and 'international',

Send to find out more about the Australian version of the Global Idas Bank and the Institute for Social Inventions, become a founding member, contribute your own ideas, or make a large donation to costs and advancement of the Australian Centre for Social Innovations
(The reason why any donation has to be very large is because
recent bank and government innovations mean that:
Unless a starting donation is over $500 and more is likely to come
in, the banks would charge too high fees to make a bank account worth
operating.
ACSION does not have the personnel to work out all the GST, ABNs and
paperwork that would be involved in receiving donations to a
non-registered non-profit organisation, or the capacity to
register.
'IDEAS and INNOVATIONS from OZ'.
? I would like to know more and enclose stamped addressed envelope. (State what you would like to know)? I enclose information on my interests in innovating and how I would like to be involved.
