Has no shortage of villains to blame
However blames move us nowhere
Power of the people is stronger than
people in power            -Wael Ghomin
Great social dynamic changes place us
                    on the world map
Most powerful factor in socio-
political changes across the globe
Social media has given the most
    marginalised group a voice.
A fundamental shift in the way we
                     communicate
Offers us most potent tools yet we cry of
                            helplessness
Offers opportunity of what we can start
    alone without permission of others.
Offers opportunity for personal
       transformation and self-
                empowerment
Positive thought into positive
                       action
Little resources to move towards
     right social change we desire
Ability to use collective effort
    in bringing social change.
Ory Okolloh
Dunn Gaby

Social media used by Egyptian
 demonstrators brought together
 individuals who shared common
goals and ideas, but also offered a
 medium for planning. In the case
 of Egypt, social media forced the
government to take accountability.
  Transnational social networks
     made it very difficult for
 governments to lie and hide from
           their citizens
Social Media Change tools
The medium that carries the message
 shapes and defines the message itself.
 The instantaneous nature of how social
   media communicate self-broadcast
ideas, unlimited by publication deadlines
  and broadcast news slots, explains in
part the speed at which these revolutions
have unravelled, their almost viral spread
             across a region.
                            -Peter Beaumont
You can live to see the changes you
desire
First,break psychological barrier of fear
Act according to integrity of heart
Acting with integrity is one of the
most important differentiators you
can demonstrate in a world full of
 “it doesn’t matter” thinking and
             behaviour.
                            - Hannah Samuel.
Far from being old-fashioned
  notions, acting with integrity,
   building trust and genuinely
    respecting others are more
  needed now than ever. Those
 who do act with integrity attract
attention not only because others
want to be associated with them
 but because so few people truly
engage in ways that make people
   feel good about themselves.
                          -Hannah Samuel
