During our kickoff 2014 Inspiring Action for Social Impact webinar, Indy Johar challenged us to think about being open, rather than being social by intention. We discussed how "social" can be too prescriptive or co-opted. We also covered how to go from ‘I’ to ‘We.’ One to Many.
As we move into a year in which we will discuss growing the Sharing Economy, Indy helped us think through this and other "new economy" movements. What we should be ready for in terms of potential challenges or missteps?
Indy Johar is a co-founder of 00:/ and a qualified architect. On behalf of 00:/, Indy has co-founded multiple social ventures from HubWestminster.net to the up coming HubLaunchpad.net [A £4m Open Venture Accelerator] and has also co-led research projects such as The Compendium for the Civic Economy, whilst supporting several 00:/ explorations/experiments including the wikihouse.cc, opendesk.cc.
On May 2nd, Geoff Mulgan, Chief Executive of Nesta discussed the opportunities society has to overcome the barriers that fiscal challenges present to innovation.
Following the 2008 global financial crisis Geoff laid out the challenges ahead during his 2009 TED Talk: “I think what connects the challenge for business, the challenge for government and the challenge for communities now, is both simple and difficult. We know our societies have to radically change. We know we can’t go back to where we were before."
During this presentation, MaRS CEO, Dr. Ilse Treurnicht takes viewers through the evolution of this innovation convergence centre through to where it sees itself moving in the future. It covers both MaRS' roots, and the best practices around the world that are informing its development.

Care, caring, and caregiver are words used to describe those who take care of family members or friends out of love. These terms are also used by those who are paid to help and support others. This is confusing on a number of fronts.
One: there is a big difference between being paid to provide care versus not expecting and not receiving financial compensation.
Two: the policy discussions and funding decisions tend to focus on professional and paid care provided by non profits, governments or institutions as if they were the only ones. This paid sector receives the bulk of the financial resources allocated by governments. In this regard, natural care is playing teeter totter with an elephant.
That the dimensions, requirements and scale of natural care is invisible is a serious public policy issue. We have relegated it as a private matter. In fact, it defines us as a species, as a country, as a society, as an individual.
Providers of natural care need resources to support themselves and the people they are caring for. It is a matter of decency, natural justice and our collective survival. This serious matter should be a high public policy priority.

Really effective collaborations between communities and universities are of increasing interest to organizational leaders, policy-makers, students, teachers, and researchers. They have the potential to be a crucial source of social innovation in the 21st century. SiG@Waterloo has worked with five outstanding examples of such collaborations to find out what perspectives, processes and practices allow them to significantly support innovation to emerge, be sustained and to positively affect some of the most challenging problems of our time.

In the past, Canadians relied on governments and non-profits to meet social needs, while leaving markets, private capital and business to deliver financial returns. This binary system is breaking down. Profound societal challenges require us to find new ways to mobilize ingenuity and resources for effective, long-term solutions. A social finance marketplace investing in social, environmental and economic returns.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

"Social
entrepreneurs
idenJfy
resources
where
people
only
see
problems.
They
view
the
villagers
as
the
soluJon,
not
the
passive
beneficiary.
They
begin
with
the
assumpJon
of
competence
and
unleash
resources
in
the
communiJes
they're
serving.”

is
a
social
entrepreneur?
“Social
entrepreneurs
are
not
content
just
to
give
a

teach
how
to
fish.
They
will
not

unJl
they
have
revoluJonized

45. The
missing
piece?
A
network
as
the
‘keystone’
45
“The
traits
of
a
keystone
–
the
abiliJes
to
bring
disparate
people
together,
to
exercise
persuasion
over
them,
and
to
give
them
a
common
agenda
for
mutual
benefit.
Like
a
honeybee
connecJng
ecosystems
that
are
miles
apart,
the
power
of
a
keystone
is
that
she
makes
the
whole
so
much
greater
than
the
sum
of
its
parts.”
