CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MICROCREDIT, SOCIAL ACTION, SOCIAL BUSINESS,
MICROSUMMITS

One of the world's most impactful social actions was begun by a team
of four around Dr Yunus in 1976; by 1977 it had been
entrepreneurually designed into the social business -microcredit -
now helping 100+ million poor to end poverty in their communities.
Social actions map and mediate first steps that youth and others can
collaboratively take in renewing and sustaining community, action
learning peer to peer vocation skills, creating service jobs and
connecting sustainability around community-rising franchises of
knowhow. (clearly this para can be edited)

Social actions are community building team initiatives whose
networking exchanges are being openly championed by Nobel Laureate
Muhammad Yunus (at least 20 large scale youth meeting worldwide a
year; and pilot project involving sending out dvd to 10000 with
goodnews youtube conversation starters) and others.

SMBA is attempts to retrain MBA to at least know they have the
choice between social business (purposeful) cases and old master of
adminsitration cases. Various peer networks are being
collaboratively developed in cities http://www.youtube.com/watch?

and in paris case the leading business school HEC has started an SMBA

A critical goal of smba's is to increase citizen awareness of real
microcredit's open source model as distinguished from fakes as well
as to celebrate awareness of the most collaborative and sustainable
brands in the world http://brand.blogspot.com

Social Actions can also be communally viewed as a stepping stone of
reforming global mass media's dumbing down but starting with the
deepest contexts and empowering voices and practices
