In an interesting effort to engage youth to solve real-world social problems, the World Bank Institute has introduced a social game entitled EVOKE. The game started on March 3rd and is running for ten weeks, and involves completing quests and missions with the goal of attaining the rank of “World Bank Institute Social Innovator”. The quests and missions themselves involve brainstorming solutions about social problems such as hunger, poverty, disease and conflict, and posting them to the site for the other players to see.
