A crash course in changing the world.
The tips for innovation in Africa from Ethan Zuckerman, Amy Smith and Paul Polak seem to be useful to understand what it means to be a social innovator. Socal innovation describes innovations, which have direct impact on social problems and conflicts. In this context my favorite secret is "Provide skills, not just finished technologies". To improve the economic and social situation in most of the african countries in the long term they need to be able to handle their problems and conflicts themselves, aid-packages are usefull to deal with current problems, but they cant be the long term solution. By teaching the neccessary skills to promote innovation there will the possibility to achieve this goal.
