Why a “Working Conference”? – Purpose & Theme
Welcome to a conference with a difference!
Breaking away from the format of outlined agenda, specified topics, and fixed speakers, the 2nd National Conference on Social Entrepreneurship is designed to collaboratively explore, discuss, learn from each other, and co-create…
Designed as interest-based ‘facilitated’ Working Groups, the conference aims to:
· facilitate learning by actively involving the participants in collaboratively solving real, live problems, which are of their interest and concern.
· leverage the rich experience and competence available in the participants’ community to address real challenges, issues and opportunities facing the sector, and help learning from each other.
· result in relevant “take-home” learning (solutions and alternatives) for the participants, which can be implemented.
The Themes & Design
The Conference is designed around seven broad themes for the Working Groups; each group would be anchored by Social Entrepreneurs/ Resource Persons, who have contributed significantly to that particulars space, and will add value to the discussions and outcomes:
· Market Linkages: Mainstreaming the Marginalised Producers
· Employment & Livelihood: Organising the Unorganised
· Universal Primary Education: Investing in the Future
· Financial Inclusion: Creating an Equitable India
· Healthcare & Hygiene for All: Making a Healthier Society
· Access to Technology & Societal Resources: Empowering the Masses
· Grass Root Innovations: Supporting Social Entrepreneurship
Dates: January 29 – 31, 2010
Venue: XLRI, Jamshedpur
For Whom:
Development sector professionals, i.e.,
· Social entrepreneurs,
· NGOs,
· Government officials operating in development space,
· CSR executives,
· Academicians, and
· Interested students
