Up your Social Impact with the Impact Gaps Canvas

So you want to make a difference. Great! Learn how to research a challenge without storming in like a “hero-preneur” and solving the wrong problem. The Impact Gaps Canvas, designed by a faculty at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University, is a tool that guides you through the process of understanding the existing problem and solution landscape, so you can put your energy toward designing solutions that bridge the gaps and make the greatest collective impact.

Participants in this two-hour workshop will:

• Understand the structure of and rationale for the Impact Gaps Canvas
• Effectively search for information to input into the left and right sides of the canvas
• Synthesize information to identify gaps to list in the centre of the canvas

When: Friday, March 24, 12-2 p.m.

Where: Online via Zoom (participants will receive a link upon registration)
