Praxis Social Entrepreneurship
by
Dave Blanchard
Every person has the chance to create and cultivate good culture in the place God has called them. For those with an entrepreneurial bent, the opportunity can be enormous. Unfortunately, many great ideas die because the entrepreneur lacks the proper wisdom, experience, strategy or community necessary to see that idea take off. Dave Blanchard and Stephen Graves share profound insights on why some great ideas make it and others don’t.

A place for the artists and artistic thinking? I don't just mean Tim Brown/IDEO although basing your solution design on empathic listening to your hosting community is certainly important. I mean the kind of mindset talked about by writers such as Hilary Austen and Roger Martin. If how we change the world is based on how we see the world and how we imagine alt: `what if' then those gifted or tasked with being our eyes/heart are certainly important, no? (compare a newspaper story on the pattern bombing of a Basque village by Franco's planes in the 1930s with Picasso's `Guernica' and you'll see its not JUST about distribution of information)
I `get' Bill Drayton/ASHOKA..Paul Light's search for the social entrepeneur and so on, but I also get the `Relational Aesthetic' of nicolas Bourriaud. (plus much lese to do with art...and not just the post gallery participatory public models)
Please talk to me about the provision you are making or hope to make concerning the arts......//Steve

Hello,
I just missed the deadline for the Praxis submission for my idea for ministry/business last year. What is the deadline this year? I don't want to miss it!
Many thanks for this great institution and support,
