Catalyst in the Balkans

Summer 2007

Click here for Catalyst in the Balkans blog Click here to access the Catalyst forum

Rod Schwartz, CEO of Catalyst, will spend six weeks in the Balkan region over the summer of 2007.  The purpose of the visit is to learn from, highlight and celebrate successful social businesses and enterprises in the region.  The reputation of this region is tinged with bloodshed and more recently, warfare.  By contrast, the history of the region embodies a great deal of tolerance and cooperation.  The sole aim of this trip is to highlight and stress these positive aspects which have been less evident in recent years.

The map below illustrates the route that Rod will take through the Balkans and a provisional itinerary.  He will write about his journey,as it progresses, in a blog.

Please send an email to sarah at sarah@catfund.com if you have any suggestions, recommendations or queries regarding Rod's trip.

Innocents first Q's on Balkans as at March 08:  http://www.catfund.com/Balkans.htm looks like a great gateway in so I feet the need to start up a Balkans page at http://wholeplanet.tv/ in spite of being personally clueless about the region - about as far as I get is the Q my dad asks joikingly but seriously: Is GWB the Kaiser Wilhelm http://www.firstworldwar.com/bio/wilhelmii.htm of the 21st C


-some questions focusing on the positive possibilities of YUnUS Future Capitalism:

is there a neutral space where conversations on who's ending poverty in the Balkans is already underway - at ned.com, at i-genius, at xing, at facebook, at...?


modjtaba - did you get to Paul's Global Reconciliation Network's 2005 annual summit in sarajevo (- I had to miss it cos of wife's illness-) if so any Gandhians etc who attended GRN http://www.valuetrue.com/home/community.cfm?startrow=5&intClassID=3 who might most flow with Yunus Social ABC
