This document discusses ways to make the Euclid Network more accessible to social entrepreneurs to connect them with policy makers. It suggests building an open collaboration community using a Euclid wiki with engagement toolkits. This would generate both digital and physical spaces for social entrepreneurs and policy makers to connect. A local hero facilitator with the toolkit could help by organizing local meetings and events to share projects, ideas and connect social entrepreneurs to opportunities. Building local Facebook groups and providing community management training and tools in the wiki toolkit could help local heroes in their role.
