If you work for/have your own not-for-profit or social enterprise, and you’re interested in discussing collaborative opportunities in 2011 please join us at Kinfolk Café for lunch this Thursday from 12.30pm.
Clare Irwin (@webbyclare) will be in town and we thought it might be the perfect chance to start following up conversations we’ve all been having at events like:
- Australian Social Innovation Camp (Sydney)
- BarCamp: Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane & Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Social Innovation BarCamp Sydney
- Netsquared: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide
- Trampoline (Melbourne)
- fastBREAK (Sydney)
- GreenUps (Sydney)
- Connect Now (Sydney)
- Digital Citizens: Social Media for Social Good (Sydney)
- Making a smaller world smaller (Melbourne)
- Connecting Up (Melbourne)
- TEDxAdelaide, TEDxCanberra, TEDxMelbourne, TEDxSydney
- Ignite: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane
- PechaKucha: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth
There’s a strong feeling around that next year is going to be a cracker year for social innovation and social entrepreneurship in Australia. We’re keen to hit the ground running in 2011 and thinking – when better to start than now.
I’d also like to introduce you to the magic that is Hub Melbourne. So for those who can make an afternoon of it – we’ll be heading upstairs from Kinfolk Café to Hub Melbourne afterward for a tour, and to hear more about The Unreasonable Project and Doing Something Good.
Please leave a comment below (with your email address or twitter handle):
1. to let us know whether you’ll be joining us;
2. to give us details on your campaign, enterprise or project;
3. if you’d be interested in regular monthly meetups and what format you would prefer; or
4. if you have any suggestions or ideas on platforms or programs to connect and empower those doing social good in Australia.
This is an informal event – hence the short notice – so please indicate if you’d be interested in similar events and I’ll contact you as soon as we’ve organised the next meetup – with more notice. 😉 It’s quite possible this could turn in to a regular monthly meetup group – so stay tuned.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
