Changemakers require a deep understanding of the context in which they operate. Even for the same kind of problem, the right approach differs depending on the people and environment with which an initiative is dealing. Such contextual information can be conveyed not only through data-driven facts but also through arts and stories, focusing on people.

📊 Did You Know?

Every voice and opinion matters. But our resources are limited, and it’s unrealistic to think about an individualized solution to every single person on the earth. So, how many opinions should we collect to gain a comprehensive understanding of the context? One paper summarizes that, although “how many” shouldn’t be the first question to ask, the effectiveness of qualitative interviewing often saturates after interviewing 15-20 people. Changemakers, in practice, need to identify a sweet spot and balance effectiveness and efficiency.

📖 There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Solution

• Refugees face unique challenges in the complex environment, urging changemakers to deliver tailored solutions in AI, digital accessibility, and information dissemination.

• Tech for healthcare needs a deeper understanding of (potential) patients. From assistive technology and prosthetic hands to eye disease detection and mental healthcare, it is essential to provide personalized care.

• Sensitizing the general population to big issues is vital for accelerating collective efforts and driving significant change. Here, storytelling can be a powerful tool, and technology like virtual reality amplifies its impact.

• Art also works as a scalable communication tool. Although community empowerment is key to scaling up the impact of meaningful initiatives, it’s not straightforward to ensure everyone is on the same page and unite diverse people. Changemakers need creativity to overcome the situation.
