festivals of collaboration cafes http://collaborationcafe.tv are held each season and from 1 October08 the greenest 200 person debating space arrives on London's South bank for sustainability debates to continue until citizens have deep contextual answers for turning every lose-lose-lose globalsiation system round to win-win-win
(editors transparency comment- sorty to say photosynthesis networks worldwide have now failed us 3 times running in developing this southbank space first slated to appaear spring 2007- I for one will be demanding the return of my 25000 pounds of social business loans made to this network; its not that photosyhteis and solar isnt the only energy future I can believe in, its just I cant myself impact this tenchibnally conflicted world of scientists, businesses and noisy ecologists; conversely all other colaboration cafe networks appear to be gaining from youth interactions out of cities in every hemisphere http://collaborationcafe.blogspot.com )
action projects are hubbed all round town and connect live summits, cafes, and virtual platforms including the new ashokan one http://www.justmeans.com
2 us book http://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/publicaffairsbooks-cgi-bin/display?book=9781586484934 tour on future of capitalism visits 10+ cities starting 2nd week of jnauary in new york
how:
can we develop peer to peer training of yunus' social ABC
A is for social Action - any 3 people can commit to a social action for a year- yunus is building a web where you can register a socila action and make a diary of its ups and downs
B is for social Business- this gets a one time loan from investors; must develop its 100% cashflow model; repay at zero interest those who loaned to it; they get the reputational kudos of starting up an organisation serving a vital hman purpose
C is for Capitalism's Future http://www.ned.com/group/community-general/news/90/11/ and Citizen EmPowerment sans frontier http://www.simpol.org http://peoplepower.jp -that which values social businesses every relationship as much as those that only extract profits- by this time capitalism and economics has been changed to recognise that helathy societies generate strong economies not vice versa
CELEBRATION OF HUMANITY
I second the view of Yunus that the human being has infinte potentia but we are measuring it as finite and boxing in what networking could have made the greatest innovation flows. So did my father in 1984 when writing in nearly his 40th year at The Economist he forecast te need for a Nobel prize winner in 2008 to inspire the world to get hunting for 30000 replicable community up projects - that is if future sustanability is to be the human lot
The Yunus brand already empowers the most valuable projects and franchise models serving humanity. Its just that coming from the origins of microcredit banking there is as yet low citizen awareness of everyone can collaborate in community-building aroung yunus. Why not make Yunus-styled Social dynamics the worldwide goodwill multiplier of 2008 and regain human sustainability?
