What Is the Global Development Hack?

A worldwide teams-of-teams activation on real projects โ€” born at Changemakers Team Academy, connected through the global Tiimiakatemia network.

๐ŸŒ

Collaboration Across Borders

Changemakers unite as social entrepreneurs worldwide to solve complex global issues collaboratively. From Tanzania to the USA, UK, Prague, Peru, Pakistan, and India.

๐Ÿค

Empower Local Communities

With Tiimiakatemiaโ„ข methodology, we empower communities by developing tailored solutions through team learning and design thinking โ€” fostering local innovation and self-sufficiency.

๐Ÿ’ก

Open Innovation

As Team Academy & Akatemia learners globally, we cultivate an open innovation culture where ideas and solutions flow freely, fostering collaboration and perpetual learning.

Three Pillars of Grassroots Change

Real challenges defined by the communities themselves, addressed through team-based innovation.

๐Ÿ“š Education Challenges

Enhance foundational innovation skills of children under 15. The changemakers who will lead the education of the future โ€” some as young as 9 โ€” are already participating as collaborators and problem-solvers alongside team entrepreneurs globally.

๐ŸŒพ Productivity & Innovation

Increasing empowerment, productivity, and engagement of Peruvians and Tanzanians ages 15 and above. How do we drive innovation in sustainable tourism and agriculture where revenues are distributed equitably at grassroots level?

โ™ป๏ธ Sustainability

Textile and clothing development with local Indian, Peruvian, and Tanzanian communities. Green energy solutions developed by local communities. These are the active projects for our next Hack.
