2024 Erase Indifference Challenge

Started as an initiative at the Auschwitz Pledge Foundation, the 2024 Erase Indifference Challenge is an innovation engine created to find and fund modern, imaginative, and measurable initiatives that will lead to concrete actions and ultimately the demise of indifference, the rise of empathy, and the acceptance and celebration of our differences.

They are encouraging entries that use technology, socialization and collaboration techniques, gamification, pop culture approaches, data and research, social experiments, and/or educational tools. We are especially interested in ideas that will connect with younger people and concern one of our categories: racism, anti-semitism, anti-immigration & xenophobia, LGBTQIA+ discrimination, and misogyny.
