findings from Entreprenurial Revolution Year 40 of studying pro-youth education

• most interesting secondary school web as voted by 10 million chinsese parent www.thelearningweb.net

in the future pro-youth countries will let undergraduate students choose their MOOC combo of best for their world curricula- and they will be able to be tested/certifiied on contexttual mastery of that combo economically at all sorts of local hubs which will also be incubators and accelerators of projecrs students have voted for spending lifetimes on and societies have massively celebrated as exciting ideas for multiplying value   - join the summit on how to link this together at www.microeducationsummit.com

moreover free tertiary education courses will be available for those who can become societies' most value multiplying apprentices - right now if the world's number 1 pro-youth economist muhammad yunus was to host a tv reality aprentice show he'd likely offer top prize to those who design per to peer nursing colleges - for 2 main easons- 1) after 16 years at egrameen of being first to experiment with ER of mobile hubs in pooest villages, nurses have become the most life critical knowledge app users; if we understood how to linkin a nurse from every community- both poorest developing world ones and ruchest old mens ones - we would have the foundations for mapping economical healthcare system  -the impact of the girl effect has never had a greater chance to shine the joy of productive freedom and healthy connectivity wherever you may be

 FUTURE CAPITALISM WHERE COMPOUND IMPACT OF ECONOMICS MARRIES PEACE

of course education should also give scholarships to collaboration entrepreneurs - those with the greaest open tech innovations to free worldwide - especially those who help all of the net generation co-produce millennium goals as much as youth may choose to do so -however when it comes to understanding who will be youth's 10000 greatest job creators - we caution that the profile of such job creators will not ofteb be large risk takers- microeconomics needs entrepreneurs who will plant and prototype tests in small ways linking in to societies that want to be a lab because of search for a desperately needed oilution - and most of these successful job creating solutions will be replicated to be community owned not driven by some top group who aims to extract from the community more and more every quarter- that old mba model is clearly the most exponentially unsustainabe in the world- if you find a mathematician who truly doesnt understand why and wants to - ask them to contactchris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

dear vidar

as you may know what started as a student competition 12 years ago connected by african american universities with action learning cultures rooted in martin luther king's dream to reality-making and overlapped with where yunus spent 7 of his formative years interacting with us education system before returning to his new nation

... is thanks to www.ofcvc.org hundreds of partners and bangladeshi micro-systems hosting passion of bhuiyan viralising through 8 states including 5 new for the year 2012-3; i am one of the early smallest sponsors of the uni of n carolina student competition september-

may i bring 2 things to your passionate attention in case you would like to meet to dicuss them further (or of course directly chat to ofcvc)

1 i have noted that n carolina is one of the places that sends out student teams to competitons to pre-announce medcal brakthroughs - eg in atlanta's conference last week:

a) students were announcing a new compound entering clinical trials which may be a radical new cure to mind generative diseases in that it can be shown to rebuild dying cells in the brain not just try and alleviate symptoms of those with parkinsons, hodgkinsons, various sportmen brainbashed diseases (potentially a critical linkin for monica to connect superstars give back to community movement)

b) another group believe their new tech can bring down the cost of testing equipment needed to detect ecoli from 50000$ monster units to something mobile and with a costing structure ultimately similar to an inkjet printer if they can sequentially build a big enough market' ecoli is just one of a family of pathogens they can help proactively monitor; i must wonder whether mackey might want to know of such progress as it could be a game changer in organic foods industries

these two cases can be thought of as just random examples that the student competition prompts especially when univerities perceive yunus as a master judge - i wonder if there is a way of offering such student entries not a prize which us general judges cant usually judge for such big future changes but where mutually agreeable a hotline to you at grameenhealth - this may become more salient as we go north and west of the 100 historically black universities whose collaboration has built the most urgent needs competion solution openly animated across the states. Moreover starting future student years we could also get more proactive by deliberately choosing some medical university capitals - currenltly our focus is generally maximising youth job creation especially african-american celebrated- obama's senior adviser on women shared the gala awards dinner keynotes with yunus last saturday in atlanta

we also have an agreement in principal to hook up with similar youth university processes across continent of africa led by taddy blecher partners that include mandela, branson (who will soon link in caribbean competitions too) , google and kiva; may i be cheeky and urge you to share advance us calendars as taddy blecher is recognised by skoll to be the number 1 person specifucally changing universities so that every student has virtually free access to being a job creator in communities; the japanese who once rated my dad as the number 1 pro-youth economist are keen on all of the above judging by embassy celebrations they have been hosting on these foci

2 one of the pojects i judged last week comes from a north carolina community where credit stopped flowing- they are building community-owned tools around social bartering networks which is very different from facebook's origin as a social gratification network ; it was my dads 1984 view -future history of entrepreneurial revolution to 2025 - that the knowledge network economy can be 10 times more productive for youth than previous economies provided decision-makers and educators most of the pressing needs knowhow exchanges start with non-monetary ways of connecting a circle of people sharing the same lifechanging service passion-

if you already know some of the people who will be opening up the n carolina branch of grameen bank- would it be practical to fix a meeting in case any of this local bartering intelligence can be valuable to you?- the key point emphasised by n carolina barter circle action reseach is the greatest value multiplying barters loop a circle of say 10 barterers not what two would trade one to one -ie the community smartest banker or network tool designer aims to optimise sustained trust between

a actions something b needs who actions something that c needs that ... j needs actions something a needs

so spiralling positive value exchange all round the community of purpose

it wouldnt surprise me if at local to global SB parnering solutions to yunus greatest millennuim goal actions we need to make a game open to 10 partners that need to search mediated by yunus why they collaboratively need to know each other over the long run that an audacious goal takes to build - my little experience is that all huge green -zero carbon goals have come out of such an implicit process; nobody in the world today has worked harder than yunus to host such multi-win worldwide partnering; it could be time to ensure that smba curricula practically help net generation students scale this interaction/collaboration game. that is arguably the most exciting takeaway from first 12 years of practising deep community-valuation student entrepreneur and job creation competitions

sincerely

It is a huge oportunity for NW hemisphere delegates to build deeper cultural bridges. Reading the diaries of Mahatma Gandhi is recommended. For those who want a first introduction to the East's Yin & Yangs,  Alfonso Lingis, one of Satyagraha's deep western philosophers has donated this debating piece on cultural flows, and the spirit needed to bridge them. One always sees things in joy. It seems to me that there is a very fundamental kind of existential decision we make: do we believe our joy or do we believe our neutral states? In the latter case, the move is always one of prudence - not to make decisions in a time of enthusiasm when one is carried away, but rather to wait until everything cools down. I think one of the most important things there is - I would almost say one could make this a kind of maxim for life - is to always make decisions in a state of joy. One should believe one's joy more than one's prudence, or any cautious or fearful state of mind"... Obstacles to Dialogue Today, by Alfonso Lingis  1.  Cultures in Dialogue             Today the great centers of wealth and power that derive from the production and control of information--Houston, Silicon Valley, the Ruhr, Lyon, Milan, Tokyo-Osaka, Shanghai, Taipei, Seoul, Mexico City, São Paulo--drain off the brain power of the outer zones--the scientists but also writers, architects, artists, and musicians.  The planet has also never before seen such immense migrations of poor peoples--so much of it forced or illegal.  These  people may bring only low-tech work skills, but they bring their cultural identity.  The great cultural capitals of proud nation states--Paris, London, New York, Sydney, Bangkok, Singapore--have become multiethnic and multicultural.             But that has always been the case.  Mohendo-daro, Memphis and Thebes, Mahabalipuram, Angkor, Djenné Djeno in the Sahel, Teotihuac·n, Qosqo--all the centers of great cultures had been cosmopolitan cities, with markets full of foreign merchants but also with whole quarters of settled foreigners.  What we have come to know as distinctive and dominant civilizations--Egyptian, Persian, Chinese, Roman, and Mongolian--were the result of drawing toward themselves resources, artefacts, inventions, and concepts from the most diverse ethnic areas and cultures.  Anyone visiting Angkor Wat is struck to see altars on which Hindu deities dance around altars with seated Buddhas, friezes depicting everyday life so obviously carved by sculptors who had come from or gone to Borobudur, Chinese guard lions..               "Different cultures within a region appear to be commenting on one another," anthropologist Shirley Lindenbaum wrote ... continued
