Global Citizen brought together 70 musical acts and performances on Saturday\, April 18 to raise $127.9 million to benefit the World Health Organization (WHO) and local and regional responders to COVID-19.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop with Vngle
DESCRIPTION:Open to all Columbians \nRSVP \n\nJoin the Tamer Center for a Spark Workshop with Vngle – Grassroots News for Transparency. \nVngle is a grassroots news organization founded to make cities more transparent and accurately represented via “various angles” of on-the-ground news coverage. It serves as a comprehensive outlet for credible hyper-local information regarding different cultures within and across cities. \nThis concept was born from a voter registration trip to Ferguson\, Missouri. In going door-to-door\, Blake\, founder and CEO of Vngle\, began asking locals of Ferguson what it was like to live in the city. He found many of their experiences shockingly divergent from televised and written news reports. Their stories revealed that the dismal conditions of the city had deeper roots than those to which the broader public had been exposed. Wondering why so many of these stories had gone unheard and if other local communities across America were equally underrepresented\, Blake was motivated to do something about it by creating Vngle. \nThe key problems of today’s news sources are lack of representation and lack of transparency. Between the scope of local news today and the silos of social media\, it remains a challenge to get different perspectives on what is actually happening across communities. Thus\, local matters go underrepresented or not represented at all. \nLeading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election in November\, Vngle seeks to highlight underrepresented perspectives and insights on major issues in each of the swing states. Vngle is interested in ideas on which issues to cover\, which cities to focus on and the methods to achieve a diversity of voices. More accurate and representative information allows for better informed voters! \nThis workshop will be an opportunity to collaborate and ideate on issues to cover\, ways to gain accurate information\, and methods to provide that information to the public. Bring your experience\, expertise\, and curiosity! \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY\nBlake Stoner\, Founder and CEO of Vngle\, is a storyteller\, social entrepreneur\, and tech enthusiast. With a history of community engagement since his childhood\, Stoner uses his background as a basis to represent the culture and concerns of communities. Blake enjoys connecting with passionate people\, cool opportunities\, and general avenues to explore new terrain around culture in America. He earned a BA in Economics from Morehouse College and an MS in Strategic Communication from Columbia University. For his social initiatives\, he has been the recipient of various entrepreneurial awards and grants. Blake currently resides in Atlanta\, Georgia.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop on Zea10: Disrupting Hunger
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ian Mackay and Karl Greden \nWednesday\, November 6\, 2019\n6–7:30 p.m. \nColumbia Business School\nUris Hall\, Room 307\n3022 Broadway\nNew York\, NY 10027 \nRSVP →\nRefreshments included with RSVP \nZea10’s mission is to develop sustainable ecosystems using plant-based nutritional solutions to foster heathy\, vibrant communities. There are over 4 million tons of brewers’ grains globally\, which could provide 50 million people with their daily protein and fiber needs\, without tilling an additional acre of land. However\, this plant-based\, nutritional resource is currently just discarded. Having identified this underutilized resource\, Zea10 has created proprietary nutritious and delicious food ingredients to create healthy food products. \nAt its core\, Zea10 is a B2B model aiming to disrupt the health and fitness food industry by providing these ingredients to CPG firms to create affordable\, healthy\, and sustainable products. As part of this model\, Zea10 seeks to commit 10 percent of its core business to food-insecure populations\, starting in New York City. Each year\, an estimated 1.4 million NYC residents\, and one in five children\, rely on emergency food programs that already struggle to provide enough nutritious food. \nIn building out this support\, Zea10 would like to understand how to best provide nutrition to three major groups (food-insecure children\, food-insecure employed adults\, and homeless people) using a pilot program. This workshop will be an opportunity to collaborate and ideate on developing an effective pilot strategy. Bring your experience and expertise to create an interdisciplinary session that helps move the needle on hunger! \n\nAbout Spark Workshops \nSpark provides social innovators with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nSpark is a platform for ventures to make valuable connections\, as the audience is a self-selected group interested in the topic area. Ventures are also able to gather ideas through group brainstorming to help them address specific questions or problems within the business organization. \nThese workshops are free and open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that social innovators aim to address. \nIf you are unable to attend this event but would like more information on Spark\, please register for our mailing list. \nIf you would like to suggest a future Spark workshop\, please contact: socialenterprise@gsb.columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop - Social Entrepreneurship in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIANS \nRSVP HERE \nSocial Entrepreneurship in Rural Communities: Breaking Generational Cycles of Poverty \nFacilitated by Elizabeth Dettke ’19CSSW \nTuesday\, November 13\, 2018\n6-8 p.m.\nRefreshments included with RSVP \nUris Hall\, Room 329\n3022 Broadway\nNew York\, NY \nOVERVIEW\nIn 2014\, Elizabeth Dettke and Christine Nyirahabimana started a social enterprise bakery in Rwanda\, hiring 10 HIV positive single mothers as their employees. The business was an immediate success and after six months\, all employees were able to double their monthly incomes. However\, starting a business is no easy task. During a drought\, they had to temporarily cease operations due to rising commodity prices. Even more devastating was that the business lost 3 of its employees to AIDS. These would be difficult setbacks for any start-up\, but Christine and Elizabeth are determined to make their social enterprise sustainable. \nThis workshop will discuss how to make a micro social enterprise profitable and viable. It will focus on the importance of staff development\, capacity building\, and knowledge transfer. How does one ensure a small business in a rural setting has the necessary tools to thrive? For how long and to what extent is outside funding helpful and necessary? The Duterimbere Bakery hires women who have been historically marginalized from their communities. What type of support do such initiatives need from a policy and market perspective? \nAREAS FOR DISCUSSION \n\nHow do you make a micro social enterprise sustainable?\nHow do you scale a micro social enterprise in a rural community?\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY\nElizabeth Dettke is a Masters candidate at Columbia University’s School of Social Work where she majors in social enterprise administration and minors in business. She completed her undergraduate studies in foreign affairs and French at the University of Virginia and served in the Peace Corps in Rwanda where she supported the launch of the women-run social enterprise\, the Duterimbere Bakery. \nThereafter\, she worked for the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee before joining DAI’s (Development Alternatives Incorporated) business development team. DAI was voted best social sector consulting firm in 2017 and is one of the United States Agency for International Development’s largest implementing partners. The work took Elizabeth to Afghanistan\, Tunisia\, and Madagascar where she worked on 5 to 60 million-dollar proposals for donor-funded projects in private sector development\, livelihoods\, conservation\, service delivery\, and decentralization. \n– \nSpark Workshops provide social entrepreneurs with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nWorkshops are open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that these social innovators aim to address.
