Sharing what works to help solve Australia’s social problems
About Solved
The team at TACSI is in a unique and fortunate position. Every day, we’re hard at work finding, generating and growing solutions to create positive social change. Yet the stories we hear are all too often focussed on problems, issues and needs.
Solved provides a new solution-focussed narrative - one of opportunity and possibility.
What makes a good solution?
We’ve done a lot of thinking about how you might define a “good” solution. We’ve also spent lots of time looking for them, generating them and now growing them.
In our minds, a “good” solution is one that enables us to have fulfilling relationships, to find and use our talents, to feel good and in-control, to have a purpose, to enjoy how we spend our time, and probably most of all, to know we matter as people and not just as widget-makers and consumers. They help us thrive, not just survive.
Thriving Lives are lives where we actively develop our aspirations, capabilities, relationships and achievements. Lives where we feel good and in-control.
Why Solved?
We believe that the people and communities affected by a particular social issue are often the best architects of possible solutions...
And sometimes we know we focus too much on needing new ideas or solutions, and overlook things that are already working (read: enthusiasm)...
So we came up with this platform to celebrate and share the solutions that are making a difference in our neighbourhoods and community.
Who’s behind Solved?
Solved is an initiative of The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI).
TACSI exists to identify and support the innovative ideas, methods and people that will contribute to and accelerate positive social change. To turn bold ideas into better lives.
