Passionate curiosity

In our long journey of seeking innovation and excellence, being curious become an essential quality in such a competitive and challenging world. In fact, curiousity is a fundamental tool to reach creativity, new ideas and discoviers.

And like Ken Robinson saying :  “Curiosity is the engine of achievement.”  I say curiosity is a fundmental step to reach  innovation. After all, we don't reach it by just sitting, but it demeands a passionate curiosity in certain field, an interest in responding to a local or a global need, a stimulation, an interesting conversation about problems or solutions or an insight to do a certain thing differently or in a more comfortable way.

So, although the borders of the countries are not the same still, we are facing alot of common challenges. And by having a  look from time to time and juming from a social media account of a certain national society to an other, would be super intersting and super inspiring. They may have a certain solution that we need! or maybe we are missing some essentiel points in addressing a local problem while an other red cross or red crescent society is doing it  better and in a more efficient way.
Maybe they are doing it in a new different way that costs less or that responds better to the communities needs.

Nowadays, and thanks to advanced  technologies and the progress of social medias, we get the chance to live a daily life of volunteers facing challenges in different countries and at that level we learn lessons, new methodes and get inspired by new ideas. We live in a world where an innovative idea can travel from a country to an other and by having a global view and skills to adjust that certain idea or method to a local context to have a better response for local problems would be a source of a beneficial exchange and better solution making.
And this vision pushed me to think about a debate between volunteers about exchanging ideas, projects, tools that they liked the most while checking social accounts or websites of a certain national society in the world. Discuss it, get most of its positive values and try to inspire something from it to address a local need or problem in their own communities.

We already started with a modest try with 8 volunteers and we are looking forward to a next developed version targetting more youth and volunteers from a larger scale of the country with a goal to encourage youth and volunteers to do research, get inspired from others and mostly be more engaged in the solition making and the response to the challenges we are facing!

( we talked about the projects and approaches of this following national societies:
 Tunisian Red Crescent / Turkish Red Crescent/ Syrian Red Crescent/ Palestinian Red Crescent/ Canadian Red Cross/ American Red Cross/ German Red Cross/ Senegalese Red Cross)
