In our country, due to social discrimination and information occlusion, many deaf and dumb students who study Art are unable to use professional skills to get jobs and gain income. For this reason, we reinvent the structure of traditional culture shirts, reduce the cost of pattern replacement, and create more design demands for the students. In this way, the project will enhance their employment competitiveness while generating income for deaf and dumb students with painting skills, and set up their professional and personalized social image by propagating the innovative products.
全国有许多美术专业的聋哑学生由于社会歧视、消息闭塞，无法利用专业技能获取工作与收入。为此，我们颠覆了传统文化衫的结构，降低了图案替换的成本，创造更多的设计需求。为聋哑艺术生带来收入的同时增强其就业竞争力，并以创新性产品的定位树立他们专业、个性化的社会形象。

TEN+ PLAN
TEN+ PLAN is a social entrepreneurship program initiated by WoowBow.com with a mission to feed China's displaced & homeless people with the foods normally thrown away by restaurants, bakeries & cafés everyday after 10pm. TEN+ PLAN aims to leverage its resources and the passion & power of local communities to not waste food and give it for free to those in need.
Each day at 10pm across Shanghai and many major cities in China, F&B establishments close for business. Many F&B businesses particularly bakeries close daily with enormous over supply of baked goods and other foods that are put into the rubbish & wasted as these foods are unsellable the next day. At the same time, there are thousands of displaced & homeless people in cities such as Shanghai and the rest of China starving &
malnourished.
TEN + PLAN是一个由WoowBow.com发起的创业项目，旨在为中国流离失所和无家可归的人提供食物，这些食物是每晚10点后通常被餐馆，面包店和咖啡馆当垃圾扔掉。 TEN + PLAN希望能充分利用这些资源，聚合当地社区的热情和力量，一方面防止浪费食物，另一方面从而给予有需要的人。
中国上海和其他城市的餐饮服务一般都在晚上10点左右停止营业。许多餐饮业务尤其是面包店每天都剩余大量的烘焙食物。这些食物隔日卖不出去，所以被当作垃圾，导致浪费。而与此同时，大城市里成千上万流离失所和无家可归的人，他们生活在贫困线之下，每天都在挨饿。

EduCare
At 280 million, migrant workers represent a major part of the urban poor. Their left-behind children, numbering 60 million, represents the best chance to break the cycle of poverty. Yet these children face tremendous educational deficit in an increasingly knowledge-based global economy. EduCare creates a sustainable platform to provide quality education to these children. By gathering student, professional, and global teachers in a social service and digital learning platform, EduCare focuses on under-resourced subjects to bring education equality to left-behind children. For education, left-behind children will no longer be left behind.
中国的农民工人口高达2.8亿人，占城市贫困人口的巨大部分。而他们的子女，这个人数高达6000万的留守儿童群体，恰恰是打破该贫穷现状的最好机会。然而在全球经济知识化的大环境下，这些儿童又面临着严重的教育资源的稀缺， 给他们的未来发展设下了严重的阻碍。 由此，EduCare为该批留守儿童创建了一个可持续的互联网教育平台为其提供高质量的教育服务。该平台将整合国内外学校和社会志愿者群体，针对乡村教育最欠缺的领域，系统性地向留守儿童提供优质教育资源。
At the end of the event you will be able to vote for one of the projects. This project will receive all of the event's proceedings, plus mentorship to manage the project.
在整个活动的最后，活动的参加者将有一票权利，投给自己心仪的项目。
Besides these projects there will be different arts, workshops, and performances to make you aware of different situations of poverty. Urban poverty will be discussed in four different panel discussions, in which the audience is invited to ask questions and think about solutions.
除了项目的演示，现场还将有艺术展示、工作坊和演出，让你全方位地了解贫困的不同面向。城市贫困还将被拆分为四个板块的主题式讨论会，观众也将有机会去问问题和找寻解决方案。
