New generations, new perspectives

Explore how global challenges have shaped social innovation and the roles of CSOs and private sectors.

In this video, we examine how global crises, such as the 2008 economic downturn, underscored the need for social innovation worldwide.

With the adoption of MDGs and later SDGs, civil society organizations (CSOs) and the private sector began playing critical roles in addressing social issues.

We’ll explore examples from South Korea, where CSOs, governments, and corporations collaborate to tackle complex problems, showing that anyone can contribute to social innovation.

What you’ll learn in this video:

  • The influence of global challenges on the development of social innovation
  • The evolution of CSOs and their growing role in solving societal problems
  • How SDGs promote cooperation between governments, CSOs, and corporations
  • Real-world examples of South Korean initiatives in social problem-solving

Reflect on how diverse stakeholders collaborate for sustainable change and consider how you, too, can be an innovator in addressing social issues. Join us as we uncover pathways to effective, collaborative solutions for global challenges.
