guess whos coming to brac inn sept 30 to oct 6 and what network resources (eg jack ma links) are they bringing

[chris macrae]

ying lowrey is bringing everything she knows as jack ma's and trsinghua leading researcher of smes, fintech/edutech, birl empowerment , everything that brac and china can learn from each other

the un has a financing problem - can someone who knows about this join us spet 30

green world has a problem- can one of the ,ksit masive english language supopirtres of renewable climate from prince charles and bbc bridcasting circles join in - proeviously prince charels helped launch banker for the poor, princess anne he;lped launch nearly free nusrig colege, one of the other princes he;lped launch varkey's million dolar gteacher prized

open elarning workld possible ahs a problem- even though banladeshi american sal khan has produced more open elarning content per buck than anyine else few if any gteachers now how to belend elearning with teal time school cklassromms and all their exams - but then education commission leaders like jack ma and erna solberg say the classroom and siuts standard exames are the problem- kids need experiential learning iun their communities outside the calssroom- but how will taht ever happen if we can never use open elarning

mostifa zaman 12 yeras into connting world ro=youth amnassadors with brac and gramen knowledge invited ying -this was part of a process where he had been asked by sir fazle abed to coodrnate all ideas on education throufg directir dr islam- oroiginally the 2 world class education summkits wise and gordon briown had said that brac was the first case to understand- but netither network now ask their alumni to know anything about brac

the origin of chinese studnets actively studying brac emerged when amy and yuz=xuan attended sir fazle's 80th birthday party- it is currently uncleas which chiense youth ambassadors will be attending

one of the reasons why sept 30 is the right tome is in april jack ma fomred huis first bangladesh ventire with brac's bkash - this is already the partner network which bill and melinda gates say is one of the greatest of their discoveries- its a collaboration pathaway between poorest cheinse and south asian women like no other- but how does banking foir these women connect with livelihood education - and whoi has the big data permissions

brac spet 25 yera developing personal permission before digotal sgtarted to come to bangaldesh- no other clountru has that origiun trust netwirk but india has a triust netwrkl formed by infosys billionnnaitre nalkani when he left infosys over 10 yeras ago to work on the legacy prpoject of kalam- kalam the past president of india and cheof scientist had wanted all non-greenn curriculum torn up by 2020- the billion person universall iedentityu offers big daya small opportunity to distribute elarnking or finance diercetly to those who most need it

imagine the invitation process for sept 30 is like lure open space- who do you most want to be the people who come to be the right people to help empower women , jack ma, sir fazle abed and alumni of all of sustainability goals most couragoes bottom up micrifranchise and open learning solutions

dear christiana

map youth economics 2025

these are the most exciting times to be alive

if father alive today he would update surveys on china and bangladesh as the 2 most miraculous development cases of last 50 years with most knowhow all world wide youth need access to if they are to be the first sustainability generation and enjoy full livelihoods- both are future-history misunderstood like all 20 nations (peoples) survey my father did at particular times from 1962 to 1989-   most of these surveys can be clicked through first slide attached- my family's main contribution to sept 30- others need to work on contributions of friends of jack ma and of brac but slides 2.3 indicate some possibilities

who wants to join in - what other understandings can be linked now and who needs to help their places youth action learn or scale fintech.edutech from whom - jack with melinda gates has been invited by un guterres to design most of the education spaces needed

it may not be a popular view but serving in world war 2 as teenager navigating airplanes over modernday myanmar and bangladesh father wanted to end wars by celebrating how any post-war nations people could be newly included in win-win trading routes instead of colonisation win-lose ones (designed for few nations to get ever bigger)

thats why he and prince charles first celebrated reincluding japan in world's goodwill 1962-64- due to deming and focus on civil engineering micro electronics quality systems - anyone who traded with japan first gained win-win futures- of course the superports of taiwan singapore hong kong were early gainers- by early 1970s japan was 2nd wealthiest financially , china diaspora 3rd wealthiest

the reason why bangla and china mainland are worth reviewing is they have  applied the same community-rising  miracles to develop eg 1970s rice science to end poverty, last mile village health networks - and then again in 1996 same starting place with microsolar and mobile for sharing life critical info but all the while china has the rich diaspora as inward investors and bangladesh has had nothing but aid- but brac with additional education help from british aid then turned aid into sustainable social businesses- nonetheless get out a map - bangladesh remains hemmed in by the borders partitioned at india's independence it cant build a shared super railroad to the rich china coast

sept 30 is at crossroads of all these ideas with jack ma's and tsinghua's main academic researcher coming to brac for a week to exchange every idea anyone brings; hopefully it is also start of continuing alumni exchanges- with jack ma's first investment in brac associated in april this is the time to blossom everywhere that girl empowerment collaboration can

what could china and bangladesh learn from each other and spread across s asia -with china thats 3 billion people  (including half of world poorest girls)- if they solve sustainability goals the rest of the world can replicate- to be quite frank this is an english culture conflict reconciliation to sort out not an american one- it was england that did the colonising but it is now england who has more peace credibility at least while trump is trump

or join jack ma's pathway to the tokyo olympics (back in 1964 celebrated by prince charles and akio morita) after which jack wants to change markets ,like education and health that ecommerce alone cant change; jack is also putting 15 billion dollars into keeping research into AI and next tech open while usa is trying to close this down

we need london to join in now because there are really 4 languages that can save borderless youth as sustainability generation chinese english mother tongue coding- digital peer to peer learning methods can make learning any of these 10 times cheaper than pre digital teaching

trump is not going to represent english langiage knowhow the right way round; brexit has distracted uk contributions to future which eu isn't well positioned for anyway; britain needs to be among those who cheer loudest at may 2019 belt roid beijing where all sorts of side summits can linkin 

i understand whatever i write will have errors or politically impolite pieces- but the people who join in sept 30 can see all the picees and start clusters of new education tech (missing curricula) as well as fin tech formats which according to all my fathers work needed to be bottom up (ie like bangla girl power) and collaborative like belt road meetings of 100 leaders can be if we go beyond question of whose building/owning the physical infrasrtucture and let youth see the right solutions to replicate through communities; london bbc royal geo society british council etc enjoy unique contributions to make on green but above all english speaking futures and in effect what james wilson and queen victoria started in turning colonisation to commonwealth is still needed all across borders between nations that british colonial age over 4 centuries spiraled

mostofa would probably have much better explanation/focus - he's updating every day with what jack ma's friends want to discuss most and is sitting in brac headquarters so can check 47 year of girl empowerment  adds to all oi the above

Dear Chris,

 

Many thanks for this. We’d be very happy to help if we can. Could you tell me a bit more about the project and exactly how you are hoping the IEA might be able to help?

 

All best,

Thanks Christiana

 

Sustainability Press Club Association

One of the things we want to do is issue a vear of 2019 short leaflet - if father or like minded souls were around in 2019 who would be the most unique 50=100 people concerned with under 30s around the world he was interviewing or vice versa- we will map these by key regions- we especially want the english language component to be strong as an antidote to brexit and trump. Some would say that it was my dads work in 1961 that re-established good trading connections between europe, japan and first parts of far east to innovate -so it would be pity of youth of english speaking nations are to be most excluded now

 

If thats the kind of contact someone in IEA or partners would want to be connected with - listing from your viewpoints eg what issues economics or education hasnt yet got a transparent model for youth to be the sustainability generation then we would love to know who to correspond with as we build this directory 

 

we will certainly know who jack ma and who sir fazle abed nominates by oct 6- we then need to find out how to do the journalism to contact extended partners of ma and sir fazle abed- fortunately we have at least 2 outstanding universities -tsinghua in beijing together with its cgtn media division can certainly clarify china contacts -  read to put their alumni on to this if that is the regionally suitable way to form the diary

Dear Chris,

 

Many thanks for your kind email. We really appreciate your father’s contribution to the history of the IEA and are delighted that his name is still being remembered! I suspect it may be difficult for people to take part due to the location but I will be sure to share your email with colleagues.

 

Wishing you all the best for the event and do let us know how it goes.

 

Warm regards,

Christiana

Subject: sept 30 to oct 6 9th remembance party norman macrae, 50th of entrepreneurial revolution, 175th of The Economost's birth

 

Please could you relay this if relevant to any friends at IEA

My father, Norman Macrae, contributed quite a lot to IEA including review 100 of Hobarts and as a judge of the Fisher awards

 

He was The Economist's end poverty sub-editor for 40 years and at time of moon landing started genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution- around the Death of Distance hypothesis that mobilising 1000 times more tech connectivity 2015 versus 1946 : would this lead to sustaining or destroying 21st C generations out of every community?

 

We are delighted to announce that the 9th remembrance event (co-sponsored by Norman Macrae Family Foundation) is returning to Bangladesh the last country he surveyed following the 3rd remembrance party hosted by the japan embassy in Dhaka around 2 roundtable dinners - chaired by Sir Fazle Abed of brac girl empowerment and the worlds largest partnerships ngo and the founder of bkash Kamil Quadir now the world's largest cashless bank. Regionally Norman had spent 3 years in Bangladesh/Myanmar as his last teenage days were spent navigating planes in world war 2

 

DHAKA SEPT 30 TO OCTOBER 5

Instead of a roundtable dinner we will helping arrange a dialogue week - it will mainly take place at brac but its chief guest will be alibaba';s main academic researcher professor Ying Lowrey of Tsinghua University , Beijing. Norman had hoped from his 1977 survey that the fifts of the world's people in china would become the centre of gravity of sustaining worldwide under 30s

 

From Ying's viewpoint she seeks to understand Bangladesh at year 47 of girls development of  this extraordinary place and peoples - WHY NOW because jack ma has just made his first investment in Bangladesh's digotal banking for the poor -the model that Bill Gates says impresses him like no other

 

 and many other people see the girls economics solutions of Bangladesh being the replicable microfrnachises most needed  respond to south asia's ultra poverty challenges- between China and South Asia we map over 40% of the world's people as well as the majority of poorest women

 

BELT ROAD QUERY: at the same time only a first look at the maps of the east will show that Bangladesh is partitioned in by historically uncollaborative neighbors - India and Myanmar - and so the legacy from the days of the British Raj currently blocks Bangladesh from connecting SME commerce with the rich south coast of china and linking in with all the main maritime flows towards Gulf, Suez and Med Sea

 

we ask people to find their own traveling costs; we will mainly sponsor the accommodation ; if people don't want to come but want to submit a hugely replicable idea for appraisal we will do our best to facilitate that

 

if you want more information please ask me in dc or Mostofa Zaman who has been coordinating youth journalism/education out of Bangladesh villages since my father first started consider Bangladesh in 2007

 

some more updating of my fathers future histories aimed at including nations in win-win trading models in ways that prioritised ending poverty can be found at VALUETRUE.com Maps where we welcome the opportunity to linkin to like-minded learning=livelihood networks

 

thanks
