“Provide skill, not just finished Technologies”
As we create new solutions we have to think about various things, such as innovation from material already existing in order to avoid waste, but also how our solutions will be functional for those who will enjoy them. This brings the need of creativity and simplicity: we have to teach the techniques and methods we use in our creations, all in a simple and effective way because the people who will use them are very uneducated people. Therefore it is necessary to inform these people of how we create our solutions and how to use them, involving them in the process so that this wisdom will be passed to other communities, and they’ll gain skills to create their own solutions to other problems. The insertion of the community in developing solutions that brings evolution to the same community.
As a student of art projects I am prepared to make projects by the orders that a client gives to me, but also to leave my personal touch on that project. Thus, I understand that it isn’t not only needed for me to free myself and do what I do best – drawing and painting, but also to explain how I did it, the reasons that led me to do it and including the customer in the process of coming up with it and doing the project. The same reasoning applies when it comes to social innovation: it is essential to include all those that are related to a project in the project achievement.
