RWI's Prosocial Makerspace: Transforming Ideas into Action
As a social impact professional, do you often dream of creating a more prosocial world but feel held back by limited time, resources, or expertise? The RW Institute's Collective Action Netrowk (RWI CAN)has designed the solution: the world’s first-ever prosocial makerspace.
This isn’t a conventional makerspace with physical tools like 3D printers or laser cutters. The RWI Makerspace is a dynamic, virtual ecosystem for driving real-world social change. Built on network theory, prosocial principles, and RWI’s Theory of Change, this innovative platform equips you to turn your ideas into actionable, scalable solutions.
NOTE: If you cannot attend this event for the full 3 hours that’s totally fine. Attend the parts of the event you would like and we’ll be sure to send the rest as a recording and detailed notes!
