Social Innovation

Social innovation takes many forms and emerges where new ideas meet real needs. At Thoravej 29, it is about developing and testing solutions that can create meaningful change together.

We have members who work experimentally and proactively with social solutions, from new forms of community to alternative models for welfare and collaboration. They challenge the status quo and demonstrate how new pathways can take shape in practice.

System Shift
System Shift wants to accelerate our transition to systems that are markedly better for people and the planet. To do that we bring together people who are changing systems in so they can share their insights, accelerate their progress and achieve greater impact together.

IN SITU
Since 2006, IN SITU has worked to realise significant art projects in architecture and urban spaces, based on the vision that when art is created specifically for a given site and enters into dialogue with its history, architecture, and users, it holds a potential that goes far beyond merely stimulating the aesthetic sense. Art can anchor identity and history and catalyse social processes. It can create new narratives and meeting places – across generations and cultures.
