Here in Edinburgh, our social enterprise ...Stephen<br /><br />Here in Edinburgh, our social enterprise called surprisingly emough Enterprising Edinburgh is now taking shape. We are working on a project to engage young people with " serious games " i.e. how to harness the skills, creativity and enthusiasm of youth. Partners include the youth workers, games industry, money holders, local authority<br /><br />In volunteering, the Social Investment Fund, Social Investment Scotland and other vehicles have given the sector some hope, and more importantly, recognition. The Ministers for Finance, and Enterprise hosted a workshop on April 14th to hear from the thirs sector, and social enterprise representatives, what the recession meant on the ground.<br /><br />We certainly find in Edinburgh that local politicians are very open and encouraging. After all 65% of innovation comes from SME's, and that's exactly what most voluntary organisations and social enterprises are when they start.<br /><br />If there are places in Leeds, please can I have an invitation<br /><br />alex dot stobart at btinternet dot com<br /><br />Thanks very muchalexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749817618287402210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189064357283855936.post-25180772179633026212009-04-22T17:29:00.000+01:002009-04-22T17:29:00.000+01:00Thanks Stephen, we've achieved this because of you...Thanks Stephen, we've achieved this because of you as well. you've backed the 'odd' Italian when nobody would have given a penny. thanks to be such a intuitive social enterpreneur!Filippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072025223190818289noreply@blogger.com
