Online Event: What Does It Take to Be a Social Entreprenueur? Sponsored by Ashoka and the Schwab Founation, Monday, September 22 - Sunday, October 5. Using a software platform for discussiondeveloped by the Skoll Foundation

The discussion is described as: What makes a social entrepreneur tick? What support do they need? How can we encourage more to step forward? Join leaders in the field to discuss the latest developments among social entrepreneurs and the challenges and opportunities we face. Kicking off the event is Professor Muhammad Yunus, a social entrepreneur responsible for the global microcredit movement.

My experience with both the organization participating in the event is that they are innovative at building at motivating a community of people to make change happen. I find their use technology and the way they reach out to a community of social entrepreneurs a valuable lesson in building and animating a community.
