Global Futurist Innovation Saving the Planet

We're offering guidance, hope and relevant education for the worlds youth and educators as we face climate challenges. 

Based on extensive academic research we have identified cultural and economic flaws in our current way of life.
The best way to solve these systemic issues is to innovate education. 100 years ago everything was different, so why are classrooms still so similar. Our favourite word is 'glocal'. It describes how local actions can influence global systems.

HUMANITY NEEDS:

BETTER CLIMATE EDUCATION >The next generation must be capable and
resilient. To be such they must obtain
relevant knowledge and skills.

TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS>Especially with climate education. Most teachers do not feel equipped to talk this
massively important topic. Furthermore, As
schools continue to protest due to unfair
work/life balances and pay, we aim to support
some of societies most valuable key workers.

CLIMATE OPTIMISM>Research has proven that the current doom
and gloom narrative inhibits progress by evoking apathy. Having a critical, positive and feasible depiction of the future we start progressing towards that objective. Imagination and dreaming is a powerful tool that we champion in our storytelling.

TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS TO CHILDREN>As the youth parliament espoused: current curriculum lacks key life skills such as diet,teamworking, financial management and others.

BUILD A LOVE FOR LEARNING & EACH OTHER>To make learning fun, easy, collaborative and relevant to build a lifelong love for knowledge, the
planet and each other.

Climate Change Education Problems:

1. Evokes apathy

2. Emphasis on problems 

3. Inefficient

4. 75% of teachers feel inadequately trained

Utopia as a Method
Utopianism as a mean for social change: "expression of the desire to make history, and not to
accept the present as given" (Colleman, 2000). Most importantly, this approach evokes hope
and optimism which improve wellbeing and productivity. 

We use storytelling& gamification
Gamification helps stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible to recalling
and remembering information. Through stimulating the hippocampus new information is more
likely to turn into a long-term memory.
Stories are more easily processed and remembered by students than facts.
Interactions with the product creates an emotional connection between content and students,
this feeds into attention and therefore they are more receptive to learning.

We support schools
We compliment new climate education through lessons or homework. We are particularly
excited to work with the new eco-curriculum in the UK and Africa.

We support teachers and save money
Saving money on training and support whilst being more accessible.

Our MVP that we have launched into the real world. We hosted a 30 minute session with an eco-club in a school near London.
It was a resounding success. We told them about all the positive climate projects ongoing worldwide. We told them that each and every skillset can contribute. We told them to work
together. We told them that direction is more important than effort. We left them with some inspiring quotes and ideas from wider academia and ourselves.
They all left with smiles on their faces and the teachers loved is so much they were super enthusiastic to help us out by assigning the group some homework we suggested and quickly sent
out a survey to all the schools teachers.
Based on feedback from both teachers and students, workshops are their favourite form of engagement. We are meeting with the Avon School Sustainability Network very soon to hopefully
schedule more valuable sessions.
Charlie has experience hosting innovation and sustainability workshops with university students and the skills translated well into the school classroom environment. We used the workshop
to gather insights from the students directly about how they like to be taught.

to gather insights from the students directly about how they like to be taught.

The initial download of Skori reached over 200 million impressions.

We provide high quality climate education that supports schools,
teachers and students at a time where they need it more than ever. Our approach successfully tackles the challenging topic of climate change. 

Workshops - are free, only cost time.
E-learning - we will need external support in creating the
website but can supply the content ourselves.
Game - the design and concept already written, we need
more developers and budget to develop the game

This is the only Global Futurist Innovation that teaches planetary living skills through a video game. Rather than being a technological waste of time, Skori provides a unique service which is climate education and optimism through critical storytelling. Eventually through a video game and e learning library.

It sits at the intersection of culture and technology. AN EFFECTIVE CULTURAL SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE

. Skori's unique value proposition and desired impact lies on its scalability.

Sustainability Market: Here are the drivers

• Climate crisis.
• Ten Step plan for 'Green Industrial Revolution'.
• Projected to be worth $12trillion in 2030.

E-Learning Market:

• Offering 'Unlimited' Learning; Textbooks are finite based on the number of pages etc. E-learning
  allows its users to access all knowledge available on the internet.
• Less learning costs; its cheaper than buying hundreds of books and stationary. It removes
  congestion and the need for uniform or private tuition.
• Better Student Engagement; students interact better with moving images and sound rather than
  walls of text. Furthermore, AR and VR tech has leveraged mobile applications.

  (Education Apps Market Size | Industry Trends Report 2022-2027 (imarcgroup.com)
• Mobile apps in education are predicted serious growth in the coming decade. (The Express
  Wire, 2022; The Express Wire, 2022)

Mobile Gaming Market:

• The gaming market is one of the biggest global markets. The mobile gaming market is expected to be worth $29.1
  billion in 2022 (Capcom, 2020)
• The gaming industry has grown massively in recent decades and the mobile gaming industry is the fastest growing
  and holds the majority of the market share.
• Mobile gaming is predicted to account for 59% of global gaming revenue in 2021. (Clement, 2021; Wijman 2020).
• By 2023, mobile gaming will remain the fastest-growing segment in the gaming market. (Wijman, 2020). 

Gamified e-learning app focused on
sustainability and climate change

• Creates an emotional connection between content and students, this feeds into attention and
  therefore they are more receptive to learning.
• Gamification helps stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible to recalling and
  remembering information. Through stimulating the hippocampus new information is more likely to turn into a long-term memory. 
• Stories are more easily processed and remembered by students than facts, therefore incorporating
  stories into our game is essential.
•  Measurable Outcomes
• Practical Application + Real-Life Simulation + First-Hand Experiences

System Thinking ->Planet, People and Profit

• We will teach students how the natural world works, all the systems at play so that they better understand and
  better build an emotional connection to their home planet. We will champion custodianship values and teach systems value, without a planet or people - there's no profit!

Indigenous voices ->

• The legacy of colonialism not only presents social and cultural damage in the forms of lost knowledge,
  displacement, grief and intergenerational trauma; but also economic damage as the adoption of unsustainable exploitation and extraction has depleted the planets resources. We are working to counter these damages with education. We decolonise our education and empower indigenous voices. 

Actionable Solutions ->

• We know the solutions: renewable energy, collective action, infrastructure reforms, eat less meat etc - so we teach
  these. The solutions are not a secret. We hope the next generation of CEOs thus act rationally with resources.

Community Creation ->

• Two minds are better than one, we are living embodiments of collaboration. Our cells are different but work
  together. Our organs work together. Our economy and lives are dependent on collaboration with other humans and non-humans. We teach users how to create communities and work in teams
• Fund tech and entrepreneurship innovation districts in the global south to create wealth and put an end to the muddy village of poverty, inequality and unemployment through wealth creation.
• Drive the realisation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through the integration of top down and bottom up approaches to development

1. By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definition

• Proportion of population living below the national poverty line, by sex and age

2.By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality

• Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture

3.Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors

• Annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person

4. By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities

• CO2 emission per unit of value added

Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending

• Researchers (in full-time equivalent) per million inhabitants

Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities

• Proportion of medium and high-tech industry value added in total value added

7. By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support

• Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing countries (in watts per capita)

8.Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials

• Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies

‘How can today’s video games help the environment? Games help create agents of change and influence positive behaviour.

There were an estimated 2.7 billion gamers across the world in 2020 and that number is predicted to rise to over 3 billion in 2023.
As of 2020, the average daily total of play for Australian's of all ages who play video games is 81 minutes. Games can be a compass, guiding players towards developing a positive attitude and mindset. The media
we consume shapes our thoughts. We idolise environmental custodianship like Hollywood romanticises Americans. Storytelling can reach players on a more personal level,transporting them into worlds that would normally be beyond

their reach.

Our model is simple to follow, measure and impactful:

1. Workshops : Sessions where we remind students there is a lot to be optimistic about. We reframe the required societal changes as exciting opportunities for growth. We will also use these sessions to gather insights for our e-learning library.
2. E-learning library: A digital catalogue of stories,
   poems, animations, games and videos that teach a solution orientated approach to climate change and life skills. We hope to support teachers and staff in their climate change education whilst being as entertaining as Netflix.
3. Mobile Game: A flagship product that cements
   SKORI as a household name. We want to amplify indigenous voices, promote environmental custodianship and reform a connection with nature. We will have a gripping plot that involves exploring the world and hopefully incorporate AR like Pokemon Go. 

Skori is an effective driver of impact investment and Environment Social Governance obligations for the private sector to create wealth as a conduit for inclusive growth and development.

For governments the solution challenges legislators to be accountable and ensure environmental protection laws are complied with. This solution is a restoration between science and democracy for equitable human development.

NGOs have a key partner in the form of Skori to ensure effective implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goals, advocate for Economic Regional Integration and effective implementation of Climate Change Adaptation strategies. 

For academia Skori is a reliable partner for evidence informed policies to ensure that environmental policies, legislation and infrastructure (both physical and mindset) are aligned to ensure effective and best practices that result in the realization of the above UN targets.

Skori built their reputation first by hosting workshops in 2023 before quickly developing an e-learning platform which they recently adapted
into this game.

 On completion of the game individuals earn an accredited climate certificate

Skori is an APP that is downloadable in any handset or device which has access to the internet.

Accessible to all corners of the globe with internet and available in many languages; 'Skori' offers the Earth an innovative grass
roots solution to the climate crisis. It empowers individuals & communities by sharing eco-literacy knowledge and sustainable
thinking. Not only has it been integrated into global classroom plans and homework tasks, but in some circumstances 'Skori' is one of the few
opportunities for the less fortunate to learn.

We have recruited a global team representative in terms of race, gender, expertise, geography. We aspire to grow the team to a level where both women and men constitute half of the total stuff complement. This includes recognition and inclusion of marginalised populations such as people with disabilities, gays and lesbians, transgender and diversity of opinions.

Plasticity

Mostly positive reviews.  

Very positive review. Beautiful design that
empowers indigenous Alaskan voices.
Great storytelling.
I love the setting of this game. I love how much
real world culture is in the game. I love the
optional live action cut-scenes where a lot of the
lore is revealed. But...
As a game "Never Alone" is pretty annoying to
play. The physics are jank as hell

Champions litter picking and
puzzle solving, but it is very
short (30mins) and the story
isn't well developed though did
feel emotional towards the
end.
Boring gameplay, frequent
crashes but great idea and
morals.

Very mixed reviews

Awesome conceptional use of
AR, good incorporation of
stories and solution orientation.
AR is not always the most
accessible format, it only has 5k
downloads on the play store.
User with the latesr iPhone
complained that their phone
couldn't handle the app. Too
hardware intensive.
