Social Innovation camp: Future me

Next up is a team of seven who are working on personal development reports - an idea for helping people develop 'soft skills' - the sort of practical things you need to get on in life, but can't go and get a qualification in.

So, it's essentially an online system to help people work out what they want to do and help them get better at it. It's sounding like a sort of to-do list for your life - get young people to ask "who do you want to be in the future?"... and then help them get there through setting challenges.

How's it going to work?

At the moment, this scheme is definitely a lot more conceptual than practical - they're still writing on a whiteboard - and it feels like they're trying to pin everything down before trying to build it. I'll have to come back to this later and see where they're going.
