Transcript of talk is in our notes. Not for public distribution. Programs are facilitated by women in the community with 8-10^th grade education and they are providing research-quality outcomes tracking. Very low tech approach – work on the way the girls think about themselves – it turns out persistence is very important. Beginning longitudinal studies over 1-2 years.Hope to expand to 900 schools, based on Seligmans’ work but all in developing countries.

Waldo Soto Bruno Talk 5/29 – developing Social Innovation Academy. Sponsored by Ashoka – Slides at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxWhDjUmHhD6cWZwNGl6eXZ5UDA/edit?usp=sharing

In Chile 1. Created a Social Innovation academy to nurture social entrepreneurs inside universities where we foster a better mindset and better tools for making challenges

2. Improve community of innovation ecosystem or rainforest inside Universities

First understand how social entrepreneurship topics emerging in Latin America- they want a different strategy here and will research with us over 4 months - how is the social innovation system inside universities. We are taking the rainforest approach of victor Hwang - any inputs you have - I am happy to receive - we have created an umbrella org Collaboration Lab inside the University - presenting in Vancouver next week - at the Lab for Systemic Change meeting

We want to understand the social innovation inside Chile - the President of Chile will present an agenda to improve the social innovation climate inside Chile - a lot of the input to his talk was from Waldo’s group. In Chile and other countires here - we have a huge opp to improve society to use the social innovation approach. Waldo is a college student in 5th year university now. Started an entrepreneurial venture inside the university also started a couple of startup companies before this - I thought this was the way to improve the society - to start companies - but then seeing a little bit how our society here works. Waldo sees he can make a better improvement by first trying to understand how to improve the society. Create social enterprises and social companies. When he was 14 years old, started a volunteer organization and since that time has been involved in social issues. Carry the Social Innovation Academy to children and to the executives of enterprises - the change is driven by people so if we want to change an eco system or a micro society –“ I must change myself and each of the people in the community must change”

We are working with Empathy org in the US linked to Ashoka and with them working to change society. What does Waldo need/want from F4H? Share insights withF4H about the Social InnovationAcademy - as it is a program we want to carry to other countries in Latin America. Want YOUR input. Anyone that works inside universities and can talk with us, to try to understand how the innovation approach, the rain forest approach. Any research, Waldo would be happy to receive the feedback and insight. - Waldo's work is very new to the university research structure - it is so silo'd today - he is bringing the Rainforest ecosystem to break down the silo's. Can we tie this in to Debategraph and Collaborate.org - the Europe work Sandy’s doing is 9 regions in the Mediterranean tying policy makers in the energy clusters- all of those in the energy sector : biggest issueis what is going on in universities - there is no access to the research - very frustrated - industries are replicating what has been done - lack of knowledge transfer even in the same geographic region Universities are detached from these types of groups. interesting way to try to link them together. Social entrepreneurs are the perfect link. In our academy, trying to link them together with the social programs we are facing today. Contact: Waldo Soto Bruno wmsoto@uc.cl

Public research.- so let’s co-create the approach. Starting next week Waldo’s team are going to interview teachers in Latin America, to assess the ecosystems. Idea is to present the research to the whole community around the world, in a white paper. Could be a white paper to the World Bank in Latin America. Kennan and Brian will follow up.

Corporate Kid (5/20) Neil Shulman's book.

BackSack (Be a Corporate Kid, Support a Corporate Kid) project - piloting 100 CEOs with 100 kids. Doing a reality show, a documentary. introduce Jim Beach - a major asset to the Corporate Kid team, joined our team as the chief strategic officer. Setting up Advisory Board that will kick off in August. Target: 100,000 kids apply – Mei Lin will help with filtering and selection to get to 100. This has tremendous economic value and social value in helping kids and helping them discover HOW to dream outside of their current conditions - whether underserved or underprivileged or not - creative ways to engage and get them involved. General public will vote at 99 cents each vote. Jim runs entrepreneurial clinics. He can inspire all 100,000 applicants. I want to see a process for everyone to start to dream. if they apply they have a dream. idea of spreading it sideways so that everyone gets involvedinclude the Life Club stuff with Rotary International. Life Club works with very young kids. Would be a heck of a cool connection. Contact: marje@sustainatlanta.org
