WHY

1 Grameen is probably the greatest job creation system ever designed. rsvp info @worldcitizen.tv with other nominations. Grameen's Social Business system design applies to any community where youth and others do not get continous opportunities to discover their creative abiliiues to serve others they were born with

(At birth 99=% of babies are born pretty equal in term of job creative capability- inequality begins if you are born as one of the billion poorest - you will have little chance of developing health, education, safe family values (eg self-esteem), and social connections that communally develop your skills and talents and access to working resources. Billion poorest is relative - the 21st C is as yet an immature place where being born into the poorest 5%-10% in any nation reduces a baby's potential in the most dismal of ways)

Future Capitalism http://futurecapitalism.ning.com :

Back in 1984, the UK's senior microconomist, Norman Macrae of The Economist, wrote a book http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html mapping how being in the network generation 1984-2024 would either make job creation for all very much better or very much worse - not the same. When you compare his scenarios it is clear (if anyone needed proof after Wall Street) that we are spinning globalisation the wrong way round - that is if we want our children to enjoy better job creation possibilites.

 2 Grameen was started by a team of 4 people in 1976. Led By Mohammed Yunus, he won half a Nobel prize for job creation in 2006; the other half of the prize was awarded to the 7 million mothers who, with a little support from Grameen, mentored each other to become Bangladeshi vilages chief job creators- both income generating for their family's sustainability and investing in their chidren's future job creating capabilities.

3 Nobel judges also visited Dhaka in 2008 and promised Bangladeshi youth moral support for being one of the most entrepreneurial generations in our networking world and definitely the most collaborative of entrepreneurs. To date only French youth have understood how to connect in job creation. Will Londoners join in or will they lag in job creation through the 2010s. Here is an article http://yunusforum.net/?p=80 by the UK's senior microeconomist explaining why Londoners would be smart to social business network with Grameen and Bangladesh now.  

.HOW?

A first person to help londoners get started is Sofia at LondonCreativeLabs.com - she is:

one of the few individuals in the world to have founded a job creation social business

a sustainability London leader and facilitator

Host of dr yunus 69th birthday dialogue in dhaka in june 2009 

co-host of two yunus 1000 bookclubs - see next readership events and resources at www.buildingsocialbusiness.com and yunus10000.com a community united by 10000 free dvds of youtube type films on what entrepreneurs connected with Dr Yunus are leading

 Dr Yunus has announced that until summer 2012 London is the most exciting social busiess place in the world to network in and out of; he is asking every collaboration partner to swarm into London to create the greatest social busess festival at te same time as the Olympics, or if you can't get to London to jam in through various virtual channels http://www.danonecommunities.com/fr/generationsolidairefeedback

webs that invite people to the games ( 2.5 years left to olympics yunus asks us to swarm or jam to)


here's a game going ion at our network associate grameenintel.com - based on what used to be called consequences when I was a child

suppose

intel  (the only official globally branded internet for the poor partner of grameen)

meets

anyone else in tech area you chose (eg danone communities) that has some sort of test with yunus or anyone else

and they discussed internet for the poor

what would be the biggest job creation or sustainability game that might see they could offer that would be so celebrated that it would be better to deliver that game than spend $100 million a year on advertising; and what other collaboration partners might they offer to join in

if we can get a few stories like that then I can send a letter to craig barett asking whether any of these games match a 70th birthday wish for yunus or at least start a cnversation  what wish they could make true- and we could try and get peter ryan to put it on the desk of some mit www entrepreneurs

anyone interested?

as we develop a series of these games we start postcarding them round london as part of sofia's remit to www.buildingsocialbusiness.com  links to  yunusolympics.com
