Social innovation can seem overwhelming at first, but it doesn’t have to be.
CQUni Master of Management for Engineers graduate, Bikesh Lal Shrestha believes it can be as simple as making small changes in our everyday life.
“Social innovation does not have to be a big invention. It could be a simple change in the way of doing something or approaching a situation that results in better outcomes.”
Originally from Nepal, Bikesh has always been passionate about helping people and solving social issues, and credits CQUni’s online iChange program for teaching him the basics of social innovation.

What motivated you to get involved with social innovation at CQUni?
The opportunity to become a Change Champion Ambassador in Sydney campus was the reason how I got involved in social innovation. I have been interested in solving social issues from my country and being here I just got to learn more about different ways we can look at a social issues and how we can work on it.
