I don't know about you, but it can feel really overwhelming listening to all the negative news around us.
That's why I think more people should be listening to People Fixing the World.
It's an opportunity to be inspired by individuals who have dedicated themselves to change our world for the better.
So go ahead and share some positive news with someone today.
And welcome to People Fixing the World from the BBC World Service with me, Myra Anubi.
I love this show because every week we explore new ideas that can really change our world.
And today, I'm meeting people whose life experiences have led them to create innovations
that just might make a difference.
As you can hear, I'm not in the studio.
It's always a treat when I can bring you outside.
And today I've brought you to Liverpool in the north of England, a city that's so vibrant.
It's like midday here on a Friday and there's lots of tourists about because I'm also standing
at one of the most famous landmarks in this great city, the Cavern Club, the small nightclub
where the Beatles first played back in February 1961. And you know, the Beatles might be considered as innovators,
of pop rock but today sadly i'm not going into the club i am instead
going on my own magical mystery tour to find a different kind of innovator I'm in Liverpool
to find out about an interesting project that's helping everyday people to develop ideas that can make a difference.
Because some problems are best solved by the people who've been impacted by them.
But the trouble is many of those people lack the time, the money and the connections to develop their solutions.
So their expertise and creativity remains untapped.
