download director of europe's premier league leading city for social business & sustainability networking

Does your city have a collaboration network for social action and sustainability leadership. Citizen research for Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus 1 2 and other Yes We can friends suggests the German example downloadable above is leading Europe's premier league- but hey this is a collaboration game- we love to post your city's premier league listing chris info@worldcitizen.tv

does your country have any bank designed to sustain communities and jobs? please tell us: current world bank cup - Bangladesh 2 Kenya 1 Haiti 1 Malawi 1 Rest of World 0 

are you a parent of 12-14 year old girl who would like to share readings with friends of a copy of the Nobel Judge's celebration with youth of yes we can change leaders - we'll post free first 10 parent applicants

banking & democracy: if you live in usa ask your member of congress to vote yunus congressional medla of honor- this entitles him to speak to congress- RSVP: which other countries have such a democratic process we can help celebrate ? next yunus parliament dilaogue is in Delhi December 2009

does your country have an open university providing a citizen's sustainability course connecting economics and peace? if not, we recommend peacefully tearing down the ivory towers of any university you can reach - lead case India: youth were asked by India's president to tear up any curriculum that isn't sustainable

.Bad news of globalisation system crisis is that its a double whammy of 1) media crisis where neither speech nor markets are free; 2) metrics crisis where as we saw from wall street 2008 the biggest rewards go to those who make systems least sustainable

Since 1984 we have been surveying which cities can bring what particular gifts to the wholeplanet sustainability stakes. For example in London we are half way through a 7 year plan to retrieve the BBC social business as the people's number 1 world sustainablity broadcaster in time for sustainability olympics 2012. Can you help Londoners in this regard or Londoners help your city's biggest contribution to the joy and life of all future generations?

The good news is one country -Bangladesh at its birth over a third of a century ago-  came up with the world's greatest invention : Yes WE Can communally intervene in any globalisation crisis!

.What is the invention? It's a system design methodology (propagated by Nobel Lauraete Muhammad Yunus as social business) for designing a transformation of any global system that is exponentially crashing down. It can bend the curve to be sustainable exponentially up in every community that replicates a particular social business system design's franchise.  

Social business solutions can be mapped to provide specific life critical solutions - of which ending poverty is integral to every human and communal sustainability crisis. The reason this invention seems a mystery, apart from the censorship crisis of media and the rewards crisis of measurement, is that systems maps are humanity's least commonly developed educational curricula just at a time when networks = system**n needed system mapping to be the 5th R. As Gandhi & Einstein noted continuously in their collaborative support to end the crushing English colonisation of India which my maternal grandad as head judge in Mumbai took 25 years to be converted by - to compound whole truth, system mapping is as important as any other kind of literacy. This becomes sustainability critical wherever top people make decisions which scale globally and compound exponentially over time.

.How do social action networks share the world's greatest invention? Why not debate it in collaboration forum, map it wherever a social business model intervention needs to be replicated or designed, and encourage the mother of all benchmarking movements among such leaders of transparent system governance as vice chancellors of universities, Global Brand CEOs, G8 leaders and top politicians/professionals, the world's best endowed foundations and philanthropists.

 Can you help make the millennium goals the largest social action network humanity has ever united around?
Dont worry if you get confused by some of the synonyms: social action ... social networks ... internet email ... yes we can ... sustainability of communities - or any others you choose
6th 7-year plan of Bangladesh Nation - alumni of the end poverty generation - everyone's invited!
the idea to 2015 is vote on who most of the world trusts most - for example after 3 years of surveys I am happy with those who vote either for muhammad yunus or fazle abed - connect collaboration networks around these or other people you trust most using every human method aimed at understanding what you you learn at any age if you were in a school which developed your creativity in ways that these hi-trust people would love to see
in other words lets make sure that grameen university and brac university franchises open source all over the world and they include teaching colleges mapping what children of every age can be action learning
so which social networks can we put on the same map to link up these purposes and celebrate millenium goals?
microcreditsummit is already the greatest human networking event
for 09/10 dr yunus has offered to start a 5000 youth ambassador netwrork for undergraduates who think most like him (or high school who want to become such undergraduates ) - if you have a nomination of such a young person send it to me chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk and I will pass it on to dhaka http://yunusforum.net/

MICRO SQUARED - COMMUNITY-Up*Collaboration Mobile

The first time I met Dr Yunus 15 months ago he asked why cant the model microcreditsummit uses -humanity's most actionable networking ever sustained round an audacious goal - now connect 7 microsummits on energy, learning, health, media, the opposite to macro-professions  aiding wall street, the opposite gov to superpowering over people, as well as community up banking. Dr Yunus invites news of of any projects being designed by 18-25s  by end of June so he and Bangladesh can help endorse them -  where we hope to spend a day with him working through how all social action and social business ideas connect up humanity and sustainability.

Week 2 : over 200 people from JP Morgan get their first training in Manhattan on how Kenya's Slum bank Jamii Bora 1 2 networks one of the safest and exponentially growing banking systems the world has ever seen

 

New York's under 25 meet Muhammad Yunus and challenge other youth cities to join in compiling a web catalogue of over 1000 social businesses in time for Muhammad Yunus and other originators over the first third of century of social business modelling to sign off their certifications in June. ref to why the most purposeful organisations ever designed are governed by social business (collunity transparent) auditing.

What Else is Social Action About? Please help us info@worldcitizen.tv edit this 

creating space for community building including cross-cultural celebration, trust and inclusivity not polarisation by politics or by demographics, youth and learning by doing, teamworking and collaboratively turning optimistic future wishes into step by step realties,  volunteering and peer to peer mentoring, job creation by individuals as entrepreneurs serving their community with income generating activities, open source replication of ideas that resolve vital needs, sustainability, hi-trust networking, ending poverty and other system failures caused by cyclically taking money out of communities instead of investing locally, transparency and conflict resolution, creating good news and demanding that mass media give this sufficient share of voice, understanding how healthy society compounds strong economies not vice versa ...

There are various overlapping but differently contextualised Social Action networks that we admire around the world and others we would love to hear of info@worldcitizen.tv

Yunus Social Action
Dr Yunus defines social action as a goal that a small team commits to for at least a year. He encourages diaries of such social actions to be kept and shared. Collaboration is the primary new human possibility of a networking age where peer to peer community building can help us all appreciate the trials of learning by doing - as well as seeing who’s trying what and who’s succeeding where.

Dr Yunus invites social action Forums to be started up connecting youth and citizens concerned to develop replicable solutions to ending poverty. Through networking media, best practices can be open sourced and replicated worldwide, from one community in vital need to another. Grameen Solutions is a mobile testimony to that and California has celebrated Dr Y as one of the people who done the most to encourage ending of digital divides. Green energy teamwork started in 1996 has scaled up that Grameen now installs more solar units than the whole of the USA.

The worldwide end-poverty revolution of microcredit was started by Yunus in 1976 as a social action –if there’s a more important shared diary lesson than that in the world of community building please tell us
Search through the history of inventions that made the most progress for humanity.  You will find dedication -passionately focused action learning - over many years by small teams of people to be how most started up.

And finally: Yunus hi-trust economics can be understood by a 9 year old as this conversation with 1000 New Yorkers in January shows

Obama Yes We Can
Having spread the most vicious financial virus around the planet, America 2009 has more to prove to the world and itself than any time in living memory. Lost community is a vicious common denominator of every problem of lost sustainability let alone the needless compound risks that Wall Street crashed randomly onto communities around the planet.

Youth Yes We Can movements are the counter flow to superpower's waste. If American Youth can celebrate social action network heroines with a tenth of the energy that sportsmen and beauty stars are given then perhaps our 21st century may yet map out as sustaining the best of times all over the planet. Ending poverty and renewing millennium goals are the gravities that Yes We Can youth need to attract all americans to and help link citizens everywhere. Back in 1984 this was a simple truth for common sense economics to promote; will it be so simple to action in 2009?

The Green Children are:

  • both a pop group inspired by the work of Muhammad Yunus and true microcredit who fund social business
  • and a friendship network of networks that organises social action clubs. We will be featuring some of these starting with where Microfinance Forums are opened up at Universities to discuss the difference between true microcredit which is communally owned and reaches out to the poorest and loans to the poor where profits are extracted to big city banks and their shareholders.

Dear Laura, Mostofa and Peter, micro social action networking co-producers


I had a great 20 minutes chat with Laura Today. As you may know:

http://chain-reaction.org was the largest "out of London" Social Action Congress in 2008 with 1000 people and a large youth constituency encouraged to bring and share their social action projects. Chain-Reaction had the endorsement of the Prime Minister's committee for social action. Laura also kindly permitted the yunus 10000 dvd to be distributed to several hundred networkers


On one of the occasions that Mostofa and I met Muhammad Yunus in London in Spring 2008, he asked us for deep background storytelling advice on what to say at his next meeting which was at number 10. He was most interested to hear how many Scots social action network (since most of us had already left our national land by 1850 after scotland's bankruptcy and hostle takeover of 1700). Unless you want bagpipes waking you up every morning, please don't quote adam smith and french entrepreneur alumni frameworks without knowing that founding context out of which he mapped free markets (maling the micro assumption 100% community-transparency of info channels not 0%). 


From DowningSt


In talking to Laura I understand her organisation's role is not to specifically back/fund/assist any particular project of the several hundred submitted through chain-reaction but to try and pass them on to the most relevant in-network group of networks that are known to chain-reaction which include many in regional government as well as entrepreneurial youth clubs and hubs etc.


I mentioned that in many way's Mostofa's role mirrors that on behalf of the 5000 bangladesh-worldwide youth social action network he has been briefed on for 2.5 years elapsed time to start interconnecting with the Nobel Peace-MicroEconomist network generation belief -impossible becomes possible when right action time place people  and the new genre on innovating collaboration which Muhammad Yunus is chair-person editing, and that given I am only in London very occasiionally (and my last 2 visits havent fitted chain-reaction's diary) the ideal collaboration forward could be for mostofa, peter ryan and laura to meet.  I suggested to laura this could hapen as soon as possible.


My understanding is that chain-reaction networks are not that centrally connected around microcredit type community project actions and that therefore there may be a good snap between all three of your collaboration connections -Peter is probably the only Londoner who runs a leading national microcredit bank for an african country (malawi) and his case has been adopted as the number 1 practice area of about 200 students at MIT/Harvard/Boston College. This also interconnects with Boston staging quarterly chain-reaction (yes we can) meetings starting in march through professor marriah star leading up to a 10000 celebration in 2010





Dr Yunus has also fed back that Gordon Brown is interested in connections between microcredit and social actions, and as some may know obama and yunus share similar experiences on how to bank for communities- which is probably a reason why Bernanke already meets Dr Yunus to understand the community sustainable models of banking which the world now needs to social interaction as fast as the www can warp

  • I am sure there are other brilloaint connections with humanity I have missed out. My father has been critiicising me for not phoming up some of his proteges Mark Malloch-Brown and Matt Ridley  to see if they are epicentral to any of these collaborations.


    I imagine that a debrief on how the LSE and the aga khan university have taken to Peter's maps of how social action networking around Boston is multiplying may also be of interest to laura and her collaboration networks.


    It is the recommendation of every youth microcredit networker that my economics editors and I trust most across transatlantic cities that it is  "yes we can" time to start launching youthmicrocreditsummit ,


    We hope to get Muhammad Yunus' appraisal of this demand within a week or so. Youthmicrocreditsummit would mercilessly borrow from every action learning that microcreditsummit has pioneered since 1997 as the most productive  and collaborative worldwide networking event for ending poverty and safe banking ever developed.


    questions? corrections??
