A #SocEntChat is a real-time, Twitter-based discussion on social entrepreneurship focused around specific issues, areas, themes, and events. It is designed for current and aspiring social entrepreneurs, funders, journalists, and supporters to share ideas, discuss the state of the field, identify the latest innovations, and pinpoint areas requiring deeper exploration.
Joining the conversation is easy. Just log in to Twitter at 1 p.m IST on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Then:

  • Introduce yourself and take a minute to get to know the other chatters when you join.
     
  • Send your questions to @changemakers without the hash tag (to keep them out of the stream) to have them considered for this conversation.

Ashoka Changemakers' through their thematic #SocEnt Chats, have been successfully connecting social innovators with experts and larger global community. The Asia #SocEnt Chats are seen as important localization action items since it has been contributing in developing the Asian target audience's capacity to use social media tools efficiently.

The recently held #SocEnt Chat on Citizen Media (on Aug 23, 2011) was extremely successful with over 100 participants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Arab world, Africa and many more countries, generating over 700 tweets in 2 hours.

The #SocEnt discussion focused on three specific thematic areas:
- Citizen Media and Censorship moderated by Naveen Naqvi from Gawaahi.com, Pakistan
- Citizen Media and Access to Technology moderated by Vallabh Rao, Digital Divide Data, Cambodia
- Citizen Media and Crowd Sourcing for Social Change & Privacy Issues by Shiv Dravid from Viewspaper.

Each of moderators were experts of those thematic areas. The discussion was enriching due to the intense responses by all participants. Q & A of the #SocEnt would be shared on the blog soon!
