An alternative to economic doom and gloom: Get excited and make things at the next Social Innovation Meetup

Our next Social Innovation Meetup is a week today in London.

This month, we’re going to be thinking about the economy.

But – for a change – it’s not going to be all doom and gloom.

We reckon the recession could be an opportunity; it’s a great time for new ideas and making new stuff.

Are there ways we’ll need to adapt to spending less cash as jobs are lost? Will there be more Freecycling? A bigger market for OwnGrown? Or will different ways of borrowing and lending money be increasingly important? And how can we help people who’ve lost their jobs? What are the ways we’ll be finding new careers and ways of working?

It’s going to be an evening of brainstorming new ideas, coming up with solutions, getting excited and making stuff.

Join us for beer and some good conversation on April 22nd: You can sign up to come along here.
