Go for Change

At Go-for-Change, we aim at building communities for meaningful engagement and sustainable social change that results from collective efforts of the society at large.

Go-for-Change is the world’s first online collaborator of social change-makers. It is a dedicated space for individuals and institutions to showcase their interest in social and civic issues. After an easy one-time sign-up individuals and institutions can perform multiple activities related to the social issue of their interest, which includes but is not limited to…
• Promoting initiatives which includes appeal for volunteers, skills, ideas, expert opinions and even financial contributions;
• Initiating and participating in debates: Individuals and institutions can share their opinion without any fear as the platform provides an option to protect individual identity when required;
• Initiating and participating in polls to obtain mass opinion on issues;
• Promoting and recording participation in events related to the issues of one’s interest;
• Promoting and viewing exhibitions of various digital material on such issues;
• Post and seek scholarships and so on.

The unique-selling-point of the platform is inter linkages and integration of the six channels such as Initiatives, Debate, Poll, Event, Archive and scholarships that offer multiple means to people and institutions for productive engagement on all kinds of social issues, all at the same time. For example people can engage in discussion on a certain issue under ‘debates’ or promote a certain social ‘initiative’ and at the same time be prompted to referring a certain document that is available under ‘archives’ on the same issue; buying books/publications in reference is also possible under ‘archives’. Publishers can also put up their issue-based publications under ‘archives’ and start getting a niche market for their products. The system starts identifying your interest area by analysing your engagements on ‘debates’, ‘polls’, initiatives’, ‘archives’, ‘events’ or ‘scholarships’ that one keeps engaged in and hence starts interacting with you. The ‘scholarship’ vertical offers specific institutional and individual scholarships with advanced filter options, so as to facilitate the application process more smoothly; the system integrates with your digital calendar to set reminders on marked ‘events’ or ‘scholarships’.

Thus there is so much to do on the single-platform and remain engaged through its dynamic reward point converter system; this unique system helps to transform the degree of people’s participation on social issues into reward points that can be redeemed in the form of discount coupons for various online and offline merchandise and services.
