Video: From Political Protest to Social Internvention

January 5, 2009 - 10:35 — Eléonore De Lusignan

Ilpyo Hong from the Hope Institute shows the role of new media in activism in the context of Korea. He starts with a history of the candlelight protest (a recent demonstration against US beef import in Korea) and then moved on to a discussion of Hope Institute and its platform for large-scale social activism.

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties, this video was not completely translated in English so be sure to have your Korean dictionaries handy!

Lift Asia 08 survey

January 3, 2009 - 16:51 — Laurent Haug


After each Lift conference, Glenn O'Neill of Owl RE runs an independent survey where he asks participants their impression about the event. The resulting reports are then published on the site, and we use this precious feedback to make the next year's edition better.

We received our grades from Lift Asia! Despite a quite low answering rate (due to the fact the survey was only available in English) we got some precious encouragements and recommendations for future editions. Overall attendees were very satisfied (we maintain three years average of 90% excellent or good ratings) and we achieved our goal to connect participants together:


And we got a large number of requests and recommendations for next year, like:

• coffee break? it was helpful but, too long time.
• Navigation on the website is not always clear and, because it changes frequently, things that looked
one way in the past, look different the following day.
• You should add the name of the company or institution on the badges.

And of course we have the traditionally contradictory demands who will show you that our job as organizers is never easy ;) Someone is asking for less people "just speaking without example... the philosophical men" while another participants wishes for more "experimental issues". Events are all about balance!

Thanks for taking the time to answer and produce the survey. Download the full report here.
