Impact Journalism Day is an annual initiative that sees newspapers across Europe publish a news supplement on positive solutions for the future.

In its third year, the Sparksnews idea involves 40 media outlets, who together publish a supplement dedicated to finding concrete solutions for present-day problems, notably relating to social entrepreneurship and innovation that benefits society.

The project seeks to reinforce the power of the media in changing political and social landscapes.

The initiative also seeks to highlight how major issues are resolved in various countries.

Participants to Impact Journalism Day have previously included Le Monde, La Stampa and the Times of India.

This year The Irish Times will be participating in the project to bring ideas for a better future to a wide international readership.

Projects will be featured by all the media partners on Impact Journalism Day on June 20th.

Submissions can be made on ijd.sparknews.com/
