dropping knowledge encourages social change. Using advanced web technologies, the initiative with offices in Berlin, Germany links the voices of individuals and organizations. The web-platform enables the global public to ask and answer questions, exchange ideas, and start initiatives around the most pressing issues of our time. Events like the Table of Free Voices, campaigns like "ask yourself" and projects in cooperation with different partners create a meaningful bridge between the on and offline worlds.

(see full view of my post to learn more) I like to turn your compass towards this website: http://www.droppingknowledge.org/

It will take a while to figure out how to navigate it but it is quite good. I suggest you just go to their first project called The Table of Free Voices HERE .

Then Click where it says Search the Archive of over 11,000 video answers.

You will see a list of questions on the left and participants on the right. Click on the participants to see them answer the questions one after another or click on a question you like and hear all kinds of amazing responses.

And if you'd allow me to pat myself on the back a bit, check out question #63 "What is today's most important unreported story". Thats the question I submitted!

Here is their YouTube
