About
At the Social Innovation Hub at Rhodes University, we recognize the need for spaces where changemakers, innovators and community-development practitioners can share knowledge, learn and cultivate a sense of belonging within their communities. Our mission is to nurture these connections and support their development.
Encouraging living and working as diverse bodies within the social innovation ecosystem can facilitate the sharing of resources, knowledge, and skills. In this way, individuals and communities can better benefit from the collective strengths and assets of their community. The Social Innovation Hub seeks to make these connections between changemakers, organisations, the University and other relevant stakeholders. By engaging with these stakeholders, we can find ways to fill gaps and build capacities.
The Social Innovation Hub embraces the transformative potential of technology to facilitate networking and capacity-building. We aim to improve the capacities of Makhanda communities to be socially innovative and entrepreneurial and to use technologies responsibily to acheive their goals.
