“Caring for China - the Google China Social Innovation Cup” is the country’s first nationwide competition aimed at empowering China’s youth to address pressing social issues through grassroots, innovative solutions. Open to college students around the country, it also serves to instill a sense of social responsibility and civic engagement in the minds of China’s youth generation.
Founded in 2008, the Cup awards grant money ranging from 10,000 – 80,000 RMB (1500-11,000 USD) to student teams that demonstrate a creative, practical solution to a social problem in their local community. Each team will carry out its project during their 2-month long summer vacation. Through gong1chuang1.com, students can submit applications detailing their project idea and implementation process.
