Infodemic Design Challenge

WHY?

The World Health Organization states we are not only fighting the COVID19 pandemic, we are also fighting an Infodemic, which is interfering with slowing the spread of the virus.

Many people are taking about flattening the curve. We think it's more about waves. This is the first wave - March, April, and May; its unprecedented and very uncomfortable because it's a new. The second wave - June through August - will likely be mild as people don't tend to get the flu when it is hot. But the third wave - Sept through March - could be long and devastating! Winter Is Coming!

Solutions in design challenge should address this Infodemic and future Infodemics.

WHAT?

The Covid19 InfoImmunity Project invites teams and individuals to participate in:

The COVID19 Infodemic Design Challenge: A global, five-day, entirely online, collaborative design challenge aiming to inspire solutions to the massive ‘Infodemic’ defined by the WHO as - the over-abundance of COVID19 information – some accurate and some not– that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. The challenge will build on the World Health Organization Infodemic Management Framework.

The COVID19 InfoImmunity Project enables all of us to think and learn together in order to generate and harness new levels of collective intelligence to fight the Infodemic. No one person or organization can do it alone. We need each other and we need you.
