TRAK on the web...

We have been working with one of the pilot groups, TRAK Sheffield to look at their marketing and promotion. As a quick fix to respond to this we have set up a blog at http://www.traksheffield.blogspot.com/
It is aimed at providing current information about workshops, events and activities, as well as contact and membership details.
Along with this they are about to launch their new brochure to promote the amazing actitivites that they undertake.
So check out their blog and leave a comment.

A CHANGING OF THE GUARDS

A changing of the guards, or perhaps a little respite, seems to be on the minds of social enterprise stalwarts as they herald in the young social entrepreneurs through the development of networks, enterprises and skills building activities.



Many are represented at the Conference including SAGE, a global movement that engages high school students in developing social enterprises. It’s mission?


To help create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address our world’s major unmet needs.

Wrapping Up...

It’s been an intense, but rewarding two days at the 2010 World Social Enterprise Conference and Summit. Practitioners from across the globe have shared their stories and provided valuable insight into the world of establishing, maintaining and building business ventures that traverse a range of social issues.
The thirst for more is clear. More knowledge, more support, more understanding and more enterprising and innovative approaches to dealing with the world’s problems.


Key note speakers Chip Heath and Dan Pallotta inspired, ignited debate and provided insight into the broader philosophical discussion of how we see change and charities. While neither Chip nor Dan show signs of letting up, a changing of the guards, or perhaps a little respite, seemed to be on the minds of social enterprise stalwarts as they heralded in the young social entrepreneurs through the development of networks, enterprises and skills building activities.
