South Africa Workshop for Social Entrepreneurship - 2008/Reflections/Setting the Tone
Kim outlined how we would be spending our time together during these two days.
The event is about:
- Community building.
- Taking the opportunity to get to know each other.
- Interaction and sharing by all, rather than presentation by a few.
- Collaborative creative thinking
- ... towards co-creation of a social entrepreneurship network of students, educators and community workers.
- Sowing the seeds of collaborative action
- defining the objectives of this community.
The structure of these interactions is indicated in the structure of the Reflections page.
The initiative as a whole is about:
- developing social entrepreneurs through networks of people in learning institutions, community based organisations, etc., incorporating practical experience in community-led initiatives in the context of a technology enhanced and increasingly connected world.
Some words, phrases and concepts to add to your vocabulary and incorporate in our modus operandum:
- commons-based peer production
- free culture
- libre knowledge, the libre knowledge vision and manifesto.
- democratising innovation
- Strength in Diversity.
- Appreciative.
