  Most practical idea Havea tool that shows you which jobs are possible for you. Why? This would help to see where the chances are so someone can find a job which suites her.

  Most disruptive idea Havea tool which can help art students that are just graduated to form international, online collectives. Why? Because collectives are at this moment primarily local. They’re tied to a place. This would make entirely different art collectives possible thus creating interesting perspectives for just graduated art students.
