Our Goal

The letters PIQASO represent 6 steps in the problem-solving process: Problem, Information, Questions, Answers, Solution, Outcome. And using this model we try to carry out and complete 3 phases: see bigger picture; investigate what works; implementation.

The idea of the project is simple – during interactive presentation discuss innovations and move forward. Our hypothesis is that if we see bigger picture and what works, someone – doesn’t have to be a scientist – can see something, understand and come up with the idea that will be a game changer. We believe that we can discover new ways of fixing our problems.

This non-profit project is co-sponsored by the Fulbright Commission in Slovakia. Our special thanks go to New York University, Solutions Journalism Network and individual journalists as through their work we are able to better understand public problems and see information in proper context.
