CONNECT ALL AROUND YOUTHS FAVOURITE SOCIAL GOOD PORTAL DANONECOMMUNITIES

Those who argue that Muhammad Yunus is the world's number 1 entrepreneurial revolutionary< can point to 3 ways he helped advance the next generation's productivity

from 1976, innovating 10 times more economical models of village/community productivity in his native Bangladesh

from 1996, experimenting with life critical innovations empowered by mobile phones

from 2005, developing sustainability world's most exciting social business brand architecture by helping leaders of the world's most resourced organisations to partner microentrepreneur networks in some of the most exciting social goals of millennium 3

the third of these moves was co-created by Parisian CEOs and extraordinary entrepreneurial co-workers during a Paris luncheon in 2005. Most notable among CEOs is Danone's Franck Riboud

Danone has helped yunus in many experiments:
being the first company to provide a reasoning to its shareholders to invest some of their dividends in social business fund

helping co-sponsor the world's first social business professor - at HEC - this being a project that President Sarkozy added to by declaring France would elad the first SMBA, and his minister of Youth Martin Hursch warmly and relentlessly supported

turning danonecommunities into a portal which invites all french youth to celebrate entrepreneurship; updates news of the world's most exciting social business fund; and invites collaboration among all of yunus french partners - both in social business corporate partnering areas like veolia and schneider, and in microcredit areas like grameen credit agricole

showing how the triad of yunus, china and a corporation can invent new hundred billion dollar markets - probably what the miraculous infant nutrition product Ying Yang Bao will be celebrated to be

paris has long demonstrated interest in adapting yunus models to solve social problems in france - witness maria nowak's microcredit ADIE that is over 25 years into compounding goodwill; more recently this knowledge area has led to babyloan - number 2 virtual microcredit in the world to kiva, as well as the 3000 annual summit convergences

all of this makes paris, a natural partner now that Brusells has decared the european union has no convergent future if it can't search out entrepreneurs with the greeatest replicable social solutions.

Joining paris, and brussels is london home of the first half billion dolar big society capital fund amassed largely through putting dormant bank accounts to good use

its amazing, but true, that across europe huge amounts of wealth in each nation is tied up in charitable capital but only about 5% of it is active use- see 100 billion euros of charity assets in UK or tot up what assets the greek church sits on!

for all these reasons europe needs stirring up if 2010s is to be youths most productive decade, and nobody makes this more joyful than muhammad yunus allied by portals like danone communities and processes like youth1000 jobs creation brainstorming

love to share news of whats buzzing around paris - chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk -partly because I joyfully spent my 1980s in Paris on a MIT co-sponsored program developing the world's first database on what societies in over 50 countries most wanted from global branded corporations
