SELLING VICE CHANCELLORS ON SUSTAINABILITY'S MISSING CURRICULUM if you can help RSVP chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Testing stories from the one page attachment "sustainability 10 truths" to try and convey what the interdisciplinary urgency of global system crisis is ultimately about, including these zeroisation dynamics -0 the mathematical destruction of free market frame as defined by adam smith and other scottish microeconomists includng 1843 founder of The Economist 0 measures and media sponsored by the big gets bigger, 0 the speculator destroys the compound investor, 0 all of DC's major institutions including congress and FED being majority ruled by wall street banks (an odd definition of democracy and of economics- and of entrepreneurship let alone compound sustainable consequences) If the 10 short stories are too cryptic, please ask chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you want more information. Bottom right is the Big Ben clock with Yunus' names of the sustainability centres and activities he wants to plant in universities around the world.. | . DHAKA EN ROUTE TO EVERY SUSTAINABILITY CITY -slogan discussed with dr yunus at mostofa and my meeting with him last month and debrief of who committed to do what after 69th birthday dialogue June 2009 Since London's colonialism started worldwide externalisation of poverty into the weakest or most knowledge disconnected communities it is high time 2012's sustainability olympics ended. Yunus proposes a parallel sustainability torch race across 2012's sustainability cities and trusts Londoners and youth ambassadors will have organsided as many sustainability events as sports As Dipal Barua who installs more solar units out of http://www.gshakti.org/ than the whole of the USA says real innovation comes out of desperation. So it is not a huge surprise that the nation born poorest at the short straw end on both india's and pakistan's independence evolved the world's greatest invention in the early 1970s. That only 1% of the world of yes we can networkers has access to such knowhow says something is terrifyingly wrong -and wholly uneconomic - with education at every level today and as Gandhi and Einstein concluded that means professional monopolies are ruling over the wrong things for humans to be sustainable. Getting this message's actions out to 5000 youth ambassadors who want to have entrepreneurial mindsets -and design social businesses - like Yunus is a challenge for turning 2010s into a Joy of Life decade instead of wall streets dismal macroeconomics and global system collapsing one. In parallel we need at least 100 global brand ceos to show that global markets can be freed to value their greatest compound contribution to sustainability - joy of banking slideset |

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 Berlin University & Grameen Creative Lab Sunday, August 23, 2009 Dear British Council Nice talking to you. You asked
me to summarise the last 18 months of preparing yes we can networks connecting Dr Yunus, and sustainability leaders and Yes
We Can youth movements. My aide memoire for post-it network interfaces I
am US volunteer of http://yunusforum.net/ a program started at the time of the Nobel Prize so that citizens across the world could share knowhow on the Yes We Can
community building, Micro Up system designs and sustainability investment models that Grameen microbanking and other
leading Bangladeshi worldwide collaboration networks including Sam Daley Harris' Dc-global http://www.microcreditsummit.org/ networks have developed since the nation's birth in the early 1970s Last year my main volunteer project
was yunus10000 dvd http://yunus10000.com/ given to youth networks. TODAY An immediate task I am volunteering on is developing 5000 youth ambassador network 09/10 as
a project actions network around social business franchises (topic of dr yunus' nobel speech) Youth Ambassador 5000 mainly
flows at undergraduate level but feeding up to trusted mentors and feeding into schools worse alumni will be the next youth
ambassadors. Lamiya Morshed who leads Dr Yunus Cenre in Dhaka and Mostofa Zaman are working on this project right now in Dhaka I am aware of a lot of overlap between core network interests of British Council
and Dr Yunus and Obama change agents particularly on climate solutions Grameen's (http://www.gshakti.org/ installs more solar units than whole of usa), and Bangladesh collaborates worldwide with intercultural youth network
development (internet and mobile networks for the poor are designed out of Dhaka by http://www.grameensolutions.com/ and http://www.brac.net/) . Lord Neil Kinnock personally hosted DR Yunus London talk on these collaboration connections on May 29. http://www.britishcouncil.org/new/about-us/75th-anniversary/lecture-series/Muhammad-Yunus/ A month later Sofia in London and I in DC were among co-hosts of Dr Yunus 69th birthday dialogue in Dhaka which the British
Council sent their education expert to. Our dialogue also included the BBC's main climate broadcaster Paul Rose who blogged this as well as having
deeper meetings with British Council http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8130130.stm I phoned you as I try to make connections between networks that are most sustaining the future and both my
father who wrote at The Economist for 40 years http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html and I share Dr Yunus' view that this is humanity's crisis year in terms of microeconomics and macroeconomic systems
compounding opposite futures- will we help youth choose the sustainable one? My professional work for 33 years has been on
reforming media . So I have the maths to prove that 2 of sustainability world’s favourite brands in 2015 will be Grameen
and BRAC and wish to invite youth to test out the other 3 http://worldclassbrands.tv/ ! I would love to help make any links between British Council
projects and Bangladeshi ones. From our viewpoint, the first urgent one is Youth Ambassador 5000 - we choose about 30 youth
(east coast undergrad leaders of microeconomics include Caitlin and Alexis) to mentor from September 1 so that they can co-create
yes we can dialogues during freshers weeks- and keep the momentum going with events that Dr Yunus co-sponsors through 09/10.
Major ones include event Saskia's team are hosting in Berlin in November on 20th fall of wall and opportunity to interconnect
all sustainability models; Sam’s meeting in Kenya april 2010 http://microcreditsummit.org/ - we look for other major events where youth in particular can connect their inputs from event to event, social net
to social net, and across poor and rich hemispheres. Please ask questions if I am unclear, or feel free to contact anyone else in this
email for their deeper inputs. If there is anyone I can meet, phone or email at British Council to share info please
say thanks, chris macrae Bethesda 301 881 1655 researching who's collaboration system change maps youth
networks trust most
