About Us
A collaborative community that turns ideas into social innovation projects with real impact in Costa Rica.
Our story
Ideas en Acción was born in 2013 out of the growth of TEDxPuraVidaJoven, a movement that has gathered thousands of young Costa Ricans around ideas worth spreading. From ideas we moved to action: today we are a collaborative community that identifies, runs and shares social innovation projects with high potential for impact and replicability.
Mission
To identify, run and share social innovation projects with high impact potential, focused on children, youth and women in STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics).
Vision
To be a collaborative community sharing knowledge that can change the world, starting in Costa Rica.
