Track: Activism
Problem that we are trying to solve...
- We are now facing a lot more critical problems that we have ever before in the human history. Luckily, a long with that, we have also seen a significant rise in people’s interest in social activism. More and more people participate in community events and show their interest in the social goods.
- Nevertheless, there is no known event-promotion platform for cause-driven and activist activities only. Moreover, have you ever found yourself overwhelmed on Eventbrite or Facebook event and unable to find activist events of your interest? Maptivist is here to solve that!
Our goals:
- Help activists gain media attention for their events and find the support they need
- Raise people awareness of activist activities that are happening in their local area
How we do it?
- On Maptivist, activists can publish information about their events
- For people who are interested in supporting local activist activities, Maptivist provides an embedded map with information about all the local events that are happening
Why Maptivist?
- Maptivist offers an embedded interactive map which is easy to use, setting us apart from conventional event registration websites.
- Maptivist focuses on activist events only. With such narrow focus, Maptivist aims to be the leading event-promotion platform among activists and those who are interested in such types of events.
