Sir Fazle Abed -top 70 alumni networks & 5 scots curious about hi-trust hi-tech

2013 - map why sir fazle years chief collaboration youth connector, mooc chief gamechanger

debrief from tuskegee (university founded by slave) and atlanta (50th MLK birthday) -aka obama 2.1 launch weekend 20 jan 2013

 

the agendas we talked about with are only about a tenth of what i would like to help converge in the quest towards smart media and freeing education -however until end of march along with student competitions at MIT they take my diary priority  as if sir fazle commits his name -and every area that www.brac.net as the world's largest mgoal action ngo - to microeducationsummit being the core post 2015 summit goals network then everyone who wants to linkin to the most exciting start of millennium races that my dad started mapping in The Economist in the late 1970s will join in


Following review from atlanta (during 50th martin luther king anniversary)    written to inform People Map linking in JIM-E's treasure maps out of georgia stateand with over 30 worldwide partners for world's most active youth including spirit of girl guides and boy scouts intercommunity work of 21st C

you already know shafqat as connectors of bangladeshi wizard tech youth with other countries tech wizards

naila also does something parallel having spent more time in yunus branded tech companies grameen phones and grameen solutions than any of us but at the same time having invested her families wealth creation in telecentres for women and community building youth - her dad was bangladesh's leading civil engineer; when in bangaldesh she curently rents sir fazle's old house but currently she is mainly a neighbour of mine in maryland -naila is also a dircetor of a board that straddles 2 areas - orphanages as job creating hubs and staging twice a year events where 5000 people in dc without medical insurance swarm for a free health checkup- such pop-up gatherings can also be places to test which youth ideas can gain massive collabration traction

navneet who naila introduced me to on friday while all 3 of us were judging tuskegee (uni founded by a slave) and alabama's stat wides youth's entreprenurial competition   is atlanta based and linkins massive orphanages for job creation across india; he is also a mentor of 100 day incubation of social revolution projects - lets ee shich run and which fail - very useful given atlanta and tuskegee now have over several hunderd youth ideas to do that from the most passionate effors of over 100 historically black universities entrepreneur students

tania is also currently a neighbour of mine in maryland- she was sir fazles chief brand officer when brac started to develop its brand around 2009 and then his chief of staff

hidde coordinators aflatoun curriculum out of netherlands and taddy connects all mandela partnership around taddy his invention of the free university format which also links in mahiriji empowerment training and is fuhest advanced in knowing what curriculum turn the energies of disadvantaged youth intoi rebiulding a nation's future

Rest of this mail starts to brainstorm 2 questions pivotal to our searches at http://bracnet.ning.com/ alos known as www.planetmooc.com

why is sir fazle most essential connector of 013

what cluster of portals are needed so that MOOCs leave no child's job creation education behind

ideas welcome as where to fly in and mobilise people who wish to link youth in

why is sir fazle most essential connector of 013

-  from the middle east sir fazle is  wise's leading connector at the education oscars and he is the most sought keynote at paris 5000 millennium goals conference convergences which happens every september

Convergences 2015 is happy to announce you the holding of the 6th Convergences 2015 World Forum from 17th to 19th September, 2013 in Paris, France. and where I hobnob with the confrence producer;

I also know sam daley harris who hosted microcreditsummit for 15 years  until it destroyed its vision -sadly to keep a low cost delegate fee from 100 developing countries it became over-sponsored by big banks so the pro-youth economics curriculum that the world's great and good including queen sofia of spain and hilary clinton had been searching for linking in netgeneration youth between 1977-2010 got more and more obliterated as did actioning the deepest contextual practises of banking for the poor through every global village; fortunately now that arkasas chose to be the state to connect nursing with its share of obama 4 billion bailout fund on broadband for community -hilary can get back to turning arkasas into number 1 lab of 10 times more affordable healthcare if she is linkedin through celebrating optimal youth curriculum

more generally across youth investment banking in every vital service practice, cashless banking under sir fazle and mit and dubai direction (media lab mit, quadir brothers legatum network linking mit and abed) also links into the number 1 financial literacy cutrriculum for all ages given brac as the most massive partner of my friends at aflatoun whose founder Jeroo Billimoria started financial literacy training for oprphans and are now in 90 countries- similarly the kenyan jamii bora network and the mandela network I love best for youth entrepreneurs emerged from how can we ensure orphans are their countries most brilliant collaboration entrepreneurs turning the solidarity of gangs fom bad to goodwill uses - when kenya had riots after the last elections it was literaly orphan networks of youth that mediated both through jamii bora and the smarter version of twitter which kenya launched as usahidi (last election , next election) and whose founder then became headhunted by google africa to relocate with mandela networks

thanks to celebration party 3 of dads work- howsted by japan ambassador in dhaka, we have also been rebriefin japan on its number 1 role in worldwide youth's futures, who my dad believed needed to do most to rehearse ahead youth collabortaion economics - economist survey 1975 asia pacific centiry -  across the asia pacific region

DO NOW AGENDAS why japan needs to save bangladesh from top-down forces so that bangladesh www.considerbangladesh.com  can then inspire china to call for the most brilliant youth future goals now china is the number 1 creditor nation; dad was always preparing the number 1 creditor nation ahead of time to take on youth entrpreneurs next great collaboration revolution for the whole human lot

PORTALS OF MOOC

while the world's most expensive universities assume they will continue moocs to that endgame of destroying youths freedoms to explore their own generation's productivuty with millium times more colaboration technology the opposite clusters of mkoocs designed for 10 times less costly job creating education need several convergent portals

1 can simply be free access to moocs led by practtioners who want job creatin or milennium goals actions to be the reason

for their practice network

2 can be in richer nations 25 dollars a month youth membership and in poorer nations $1 dolar a mont youth membership of a peer to peer association of how to both chose which moocs to0 use; find universities that will examine you on your customised colection of moocs; help stdents impriove the moocs abd linkin youth entrepreneur competitions- if i understand correctly you want to build that portal for about a fift of youth who have previously be wholly left out of education because they prefer learning by action than learning by sitting - this was nicely expressed in this collaboration video we hoste out of new york by the bbc's main clean energy filamekr and ocean diver paul rose who also works at the outward bounds consultancy impact internationsl that mostofa, zasheem and I invited to yunus first global summit 2009 - it is an extreme irony that yunus 8 million members number 1 wish was the whole economic power of grameen be invested in their next generation's educatiuonal development but brac firstly did all the work providing the schools that yunus children were sent to and secondly none of the 100 most powerful people who befriended yunus ever helped him MOOC

portals of MOOC needs lot more brainstorming being the number 1 gamechanger currently actuove of the 7 markets that mostneed to be freed if dads 1984 vision of net generation 3 billion new collaboration economy jobs are to be freed in time to save us from the oppsoute orwellian endgame of a human race more connecetd than geo-politically-separated- which alos makes a cultures secindary education mooc urgent - fortunatly this was one of the top 6 student suggestions in the alabama state faceoff of youth competitions - regionally i imagine navneet will be nurturing this

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula

101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970

Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
 1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE? 
 - we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the  tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to  mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech  over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my father www.normanmacrae.net at the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book 2025 report, retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally  cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with  great womens education hero bangladesh's fazle abed;  Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges 
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and  tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ;   it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g
I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
