The goals of Celebrating Solutions! are very simple:
- To create a new genre of positive interactive media to promote community heath and safety
- To develop a database of practical initiatives that have demonstrably improved people's lives
- To publicize this database with a series of special events, covered by TV and newspapers
- To foster a culture that encourages people to take responsibility for their health and safety
This project also fundamentally strengthens civic engagement and participitory democracy, which are themselves healthy activities in the broadest sense. It empowers groups and communities who have often been considered "part of the problem" to become "part of the solution."
