A crash course in changing the world.
My favourite secret to being a social innovator is being creative because it is often misunderstood. To be a social innovator you need to be able to adapt to the changes around you. Also you need to keep an open mind and learn from people. A lot of the innovators do not always come up with new and fresh things, they use what they have and they take ideas from other people(or their surroundings). Lets face it some of the things that have been around for a while work, therefore there shouldn't always be a change. Making them better could also work just as well. Creative thinking is sometimes using what you have. In South Africa there are a lot of social problems that are in my opinion not given the attention they need. A lot of people have lost their belongings, families and even their lives because of fires caused by lack of education and also over population in the informal settlements. It does not take coming up with a new idea to realise that 1.people need to educated about such things and 2.overpopulation in the informal settlements(even cities) could be a cause of most social problems.
