There's a new LIFE in Africa!

Supporting the LIFE in Africa vision since 2001

Life in Africa is an evolving webbed space online for good things, good people and good causes from across the African continent.   Please be patient as we undertake some major sight changes. 
We need more computers to be able to bring Life in Africa to the world sooner. If you can help with sources of free or inexpensive computers for African projects like ours, please let us know!

Skoll World Forum
on Social Entrepreneurship
Guide to ongoing dialogues
started March 30 – April 1, 2005
@ Saïd Business School, Oxford University, England

 
Life in Africa's Founder was invited to participate in the Skoll World Forum 2005 as a delegate from the Skoll Foundation's Social Edge community website. The delegate's job was to report on the themes, ideas and information at the event for the benefit of others in the community and elsewhere who were not in attendance.

AFRICA was not at the Forum in large numbers in 2005, but Social Edge offers an opportunity to continue dialogue on the issues that came up at the Forum, in a way that can hopefully steer the community forward into building upon all perspectives shared, inclusively.

Use the guide to SWF 2005 dialogues below to discover the wealth of information shared on this year's theme Making Networks Work, and make your voice heard in contiunuing discussiong with the global community of changemakers on the Social Edge.
