The Cares of a Generation


With over 50,000 people already signed up Vinspired are doing some good work at changing the image of volunteering in the UK.
They’ve also got a data visualisation arm called Voicebox that curates young people’s opinions on a range of subjects. What I really like is they then present the data in creative ways that allows you to explore the results by age, gender, region and ethnicity.
Their latest project called Voicebot aims to create a direct channel between young people and MPs. 16-25 year olds are being asked to submit 160 characters on what they care about and the best submissions will then be physically written out by a robot inside Parliament in October. No doubt they’ll then collate all the submissions and do something fancy with the results.

It reminds be of Nike’s Chalkbot idea from earlier this year.
