YouTube Videos out to change the World

The organizers behind this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland have teamed up with YouTube and asked global citizens to upload a video answering The Davos Question: "What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?"

"Starting January 1st, watch and rank others’ ideas. The highest-rated videos will be screened in Davos (January 23-27), where world leaders will watch your videos and make responses of their own. Your idea could be the start of something big."

Here is one submission. Emily Woolf says, "We need to think small and act globally."

Mixed in with user generated responses, key figures leading the World Economic Forum have uploaded their own responses. Here is the response of Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum, who says, "the key is creating frameworks which allow us to create collaborative innovation."

Collaborative innovation is certainly illustrated by way the platform organizers have so smartly created on this YouTube channel.
