And adding more lines of thot for this week. Corrections are welcome. @Waihiga, you've got me thinking so consider this. That out of each calamity that befalls people-kind all over the world, there emerges technology to further help understand the complexity of the problem. If you take any crises management systems, they were all born out of unfortunate circumstances and some born in places where there have been no such events . There is no fixed formula nor solution, because technology cannot accurately predict the next big quake nor can it accurately predict the outcome of any political process. You defined a complex issue with one line = Youth and promoting National Cohesion. As a game designer or whatever, ( well future tense at that ) I'd approach the problem in a different manner due to its complex nature. Avoid focus on one element of the problem. I'd be designing a game on this : " I Love my Country ! ". This game would cover many aspects of why one loves and would protect it from self destruction. And each time the youth are able to protect his/her country via the SMS based game, they would be rewarded for thinking of ways to save it. Each day, one problem would be presented in the game and the youth must figure out the puzzle to claim a price and have fun in the process. I think there is enough talent on this list to build such a game system. I'd still put the game on an SMS service because no other platform provides cheap and quick access. Then use radio, tv or other means to create awareness and get thousands into the game. But ofcourse you don't have that large budget, do you? :-)) If " I Love my country! " does not work out, well I hope something else will. On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 10:08 AM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Greetings and Happy Easter to All
The million dollar question is if you had a large
budget what project would you start to target the youths with the aim of promoting National Cohesion. Do not limit yourself any media can be utilised T.V., radio, social networking, videogames etc Thanks.
