Academic Level
With very strong partners, this is a unique opportunity for selected Safe Agua Colombia students to push the depth and pilot implementation of their projects. The previous Peru development seminar was an incredible educational experience for the ENV and Prod students involved, affording the chance to attend a NCIIA strategy-mapping workshop, and present to social innovation thought leaders at the NCIIA conference in San Francisco. The Seminar is what allowed both Balde a Balde and Giradora to move beyond the classroom, to garner $65k of grants, along with numerous Safe Agua awards, international lectures, and major publicity, and the creation of a new Social Enterprise lead by the students. The Spring 2014 Development seminar is a great opportunity to continue to push Safe Agua to make real world change. Objectives: _develop Safe Agua Colombia projects & prototypes _develop strategies for "think big / start small / grow fast" implementation _reach out to potential partners (Compartamos Colombia, etc) _writing essays for submission to awards & grants to support next stages of pilot testing and build international recognition _readings and research to support project development Enrollment by petition only.
