Are you intrigued by the emergence of collaboration between social entrepreneurs and government? Interested in hearing about current ways in which social entrepreneurs are working with public policy? Have ideas of the types of collaborations between companies and entrepreneurs on sustainable and affordable housing? Join the conversation in tomorrow's today's #SocEntChat!
On Wednesday, April 27th from 3-5pm EST, Ashoka will join forces with Next Billion to co-host the monthly #SocEntChat, a real-time Twitter-based discussion on social entrepreneurship which is based around a specific theme each month.
The conversation is designed for current and aspiring social entrepreneurs, policy makers, funders, media, and supporters to share their ideas, discuss the state of the field, identify the latest innovations, and pinpoint areas requiring more exploration.
This month, we will explore innovations around affordable housing, from government subsidies to payment structures and the various local, global, and collaborative solutions. Ashoka Fellows, winners of the recent Sustainable Urban Housing: Collaborating for Livable and Inclusive Cities hosted on Changemakers.com, and others will be joining the conversation to answer your questions and share their experiences.
Be sure to participate in the chat by logging on to Twitter tomorrow today, April 27th between 3 and 5pm EST. Please remember: use the #SocEntChat hashtag, introduce yourself, stay on topic, be respectful, and have fun!
Mention @AshokaTweets and/or @NextBillion prior to the chat with any questions you have or issues you are interested in exploring. We will do our best to include this feedback in the chat. And be sure to invite your friends and followers to join the conversation, too. Here is a sample tweet:
