Telepresence conference on Social Innovation

Euclid Network (EN) in partnership with the Young Foundation, Social Innovation eXchange (SIX) and Cisco will be running a telepresence event on social innovation. Cisco telepresence creates a live, face-to-face communication experience helping people to meet and share ideas across borders. Using some of the most sophisticated teleconference technology, the event will bring together 5 social innovators from 6 capitals - Paris, London, Berlin, Lisbon, Madrid and Brussels - to share their successful stories. European officials will also be in attendence. This is a pilot event and further similar events may be organised if this one is successful.

The event will take place 9 April 15:00 - 17:00 and DenokInn will be the coordinator of the Madrid team.

Internal Mediation

This is the link with an article I have just published about internal mediation with the new International Peace Institute of Catalonia. This is also Social Innovation!

Denokinn in Washington, New York and Boston

We are presenting the Social Innovation Park project in the US this week. We arrived last Sunday and so far we have met with Ashoka, GEO, Independent Sector, Social Enterprise Alliance, Georgetown, George Mason University and some friends at the World Bank. It is fascinating to see that they are even more excited than us about it. Tomorrow we are meeting whit Children´s Aid, Manhattan Institute and the UN. I will keep you posted if Iñigo allows it.
