Not long until the call for ideas for the wonderful Social Innovation Camp Scotland closes. Friday 22nd May to be precise.
Essentially the SIcamp weekend is all about using the net and technology for positive social change. They need the help of a huge range of people - from software developers through to business experts, from digital media lawyers to people with expertise in solving social problems - to help make the selected ideas a reality.
I could waffle on all day about how great an idea SIcamp is but the nicely animated video below does a far better job of explaining the concept.
I just need to think of an idea now...
Today is Social Enterprise Day! It's all about celebrating the inspiring entrepreneurs who are using their entreprising ideas for social or environmental change.
To coincide with Social Enterprise Day, I'm really pleased to announce the beta launch of a little project which I've been working on in my spare time...Third Sector Forums.
TSF is a friendly online community for UK charity professionals, volunteers and social entrepreneurs. The forums are a place for people to network, learn, debate and discuss third sector issues. Categories include funding, fundraising, governance, legal issues, internet, marketing, campaigns, social enterprise and beyond.
While the forums are third sector focused, private and public professionals are welcome too. We're especially keen to get ethical businesses onboard. The forums are 100% free to use and run by volunteers.
The forums would not exist without private sector support. The purchase of the forum software was sponsored by Sure Languages. The wonderful Third Sector Forums and Third Sector Lab logos and various graphical elements across the website were created by Nothing Does graphic design and branding consultancy. Last, but by no means least, Clear Blue Designs provided the professional forum set-up and design as well as ongoing technical support and hosting.
That's my shameless plug over, hopefully see some of you on the forums soon.
