A flurry of activity across the community this week on the back of the momentous launch of our Amnesty Challenge last week! Folks are keenly joining the challenge which asks: How can technology help people working to uphold human rights in the face of unlawful detention? Inspirations are pouring in – exploring powerlessness, highlighting tools of support and probing how to spread the word. All this gathering of far-reaching insight and examples of existing and analogous inspiration will fuel our upcoming Concepting phase for sure! Still more than a week to go to jump in and submit posts and share the challenge amongst your networks. Let's work together to make a difference!

If you're new to OpenIDEO you can check up on the New Users Forum to share tips and ask questions. There's also the Tips & Tricks Forum for new and seasoned users. And if you're a student or faculty at university then join a conversation on our OpenIDEO + Universities Forum.

Looking back at our Santitation Challenge – check out this stellar Realisation update from on the ground in Ghana where users give current feedback. Plus here's a recent article on their progress and the importance of dignity and design with low-income communities.
