The Hourglass Project (powered by Vodacom) Details
The Hourglass, is a design piece and "catalyst for change" that encourages and tracks participation in corporate employee volunteerism programmes (EVP's)On international and national days the design piece is illuminated in the respective colours sending a reminder throughout the organisation to contribute and volunteer. Once an employee has completed their volunteering hours they can activate the hourglass to record their time spent. Analytics and tracking of EVP's is done on the hourglass platform.In the Nelson Mandela Exhibition at the Apartheid Museum there is a special hourglass with a 3D Printed bust of Nelson Mandela that on Mandela Day and other national days sends a signal to the network of hourglasses to synchronously activate for a unified 67 minute South African celebration. The Hourglass Project is powered by Vodacom and has received the written support from the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Apartheid Museum, D-Shape, World Design Organisation and SAB Design Institute.www.thehourglassproject.net
