The Problem
Our society is more connected than ever before.
Yet our social skills haven’t advanced much.
Our newfound connectedness does not equal understanding.
Our Solution
A global grassroots movement to spread kindness, positivity, and self-awareness— both online and offline.

Our Research
Understand average Facebook users
Chat with experts in social media & behavior
“I don’t think Facebook is real”
“I'm too scared to say what I really think on the internet because I don't want to be jumped on.”
“I hold back a lot"
"Social networks, when you join, is sort of like showing up to a party where you don't know anyone. Your guide to behavior is the other people around you."
Rob Morris, Ph.DMIT Media LabCreator of Koko
Our Insights
There is a large contingent who are active online, but in a passive way.
Some people are afraid to participate in online discussions due to self-consciousness and fear of being “jumped on.”
Many would rather unfriend or unfollow than engage.
Many users think that online discourse does not impact real life.
"My role in a community group is really clear, it's part of my business"
"If I make a comment, it's a huge impact for other people. If I feel good, why not make other people feel good too?"
If you could tag comments and posts with an anonymous and private
sentiment, which sentiments would you want to express?
"Disgusting"
"WTF?""Affff"
"Loved it"
"Gratitude"

Our initial brief
Turn conflicts into something affirmative and constructive within a community
Our Angle
How might we encourage passive users in online communities with the structure and tools they need to transform conflicts into opportunities for learning and growth?
