I have recently subscribed to "FunForLouis" on YouTube. He is a popular travel vlogger, has almost two million subscribers, and you get to see the world with his vlogs because he essentially travels the world all the time. Because of his and his friend and another popular YouTuber and successful entrepreneur, Dave Erasmus', travels, they see the problems that this world has and want to fix them. They have created the Solvey Project, which is essentially a search for plans to help the world's social injustices and general problems. They say that they don't have the ideas to do so, but because that there are so many people in this world, they know that other people have brilliant ideas.
Their plan is to travel to around the world in 30 days, visiting seven areas of the world, and holding idea jam sessions for the people who go. Even though they are not going to the U.S., UK, Australia, or any areas of Louis' major fanbase, anyone can submit a video of their idea. If you have idea, you can create a video and submit your application starting April 28 until May 15. They will be selecting seven ideas.
Last year, they ran a test project where they got applications from 20 countries. The team that won the contest was from Australia. Now they are hoping to create a bigger impact, with seven winners and the winners will get some help with their projects. The areas they are traveling to are Addis Abba, Ethiopia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; New Delhi; Shanghai; Seoul, South Korea; Tokyo; Rio de Janeiro; and Reyjavik, Iceland.
They have already visited Addis Abba, and by the time this is published, they will have already visited New Delhi and Dubai. You can check out their adventures and what they talked about with the people who show up to their jam sessions on Louis Cole's YouTube channel, "FunForLouis."
They have videos for:

If you have an idea, you should submit! It can be about any issue, and you should try to make your impact in the world.
