Social Entrepreneurship Series, The [DVD series]

This 16-programme DVD series, offered by Ashoka's Global Academy for Social Entrepreneurship team, shares the experiences and insights of social entrepreneurs from around the world. They explain how they have worked to change the world by building global organisations and movements that "demonstrate how a new kind of commerce can expand the frontiers of companies and citizen organizations, while empowering poor people to access the opportunities of the global market."

Specifically, the 16 40-minute programmes feature the stories and strategies of global leaders such as:

• Fazle H. Abed, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC)
• Peter Eigen, Transparency International
• Oded Grajew, Ethos Institute and World Social Forum
• Alice Tepper Marlin, Social Accountability International
• Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank
• Bill Drayton, Ashoka

Harvard is developing case studies to accompany these DVDs.
