We are very happy to introduce our new initiative from Yunus Centre under the banner of the “YSBC Web Lecture Series”. This will be an endeavor of the Yunus Centre Social Business Academy aimed at spreading knowledge and creating easily accessible resources on the subject of social business. This will help students to learn about social business, entrepreneurs to get interested in initiating social businesses, and individuals, foundations, and businesses to invest in social businesses.
Typically each segment will be 45 minutes fireside chat led by a session moderator with one speaker. The moderator is not expected to cover all aspects of the work of the speaker (due to time limitations) but s/he is expected to get to the core issues relevant to the speaker. Audience members can help by sending questions in advance. There may be variations in the format of the sessions as we move along and adjust them for the best outcomes.
