There's always plenty going on at TACSI but here's a quick overview of our major projects for 2010:
With the Bold Ideas, Better Lives Challenge we want to give you the chance to turn your big idea into big impact. So we're putting our money (and our networks) where our mouth is and offering you the opportunity to make your idea a reality.
One of The Australian Centre for Social Innovation's initial projects in 2010 will be working with users and service providers to co-design solutions to address unmet social needs by radically redesigning social services.
Social entrepreneurs are the agents of change in our community and we (that's the big 'we', as in society at large) need to find better ways at working with and for them.
To that end we'll be looking at the kind of training and support options available to social entrepreneurs and using our home base here in South Australia as a pilot region.
The Social Innovator Dialogues brings international thought leadership and expertise to Australia through a series of events. Including cutting edge thinkers and doers on innovation in public sector policy, social justice and sustainable design, the series addresses the big issues affecting decision makers across the public, private and third sector and encourages leaders in Australia to wrestle with the opportunities and challenges of innovation that are remaking the world as we know it.
Our Blue Sky Sessions provide an informal and interactive forum for people to come together in a spirit of collaborative inquiry to discuss some of the pressing challenges of our day and how we might go about tackling them. This is not a case of talking heads. We encourage people to participate, to be creative and to think big.
