Notes:
- Some folks have exchanged course drafts to give eachother feedback
- Amanda's course - really liked the four focal points of the course. Very compelling, good sources for the rest of the work to develop from. Liked the big culminating event, good to tie together international groups. Looking to work on the scope of the end project for the course - small but simple for the project, working on messaging and marketing.
- Emily - Looking for a way to motivate people to action at the end of the course. Also thinking about how to create cohesion among participants (getting them together).
- Blogs - option for action, but need to figure out how to manage it. Need to make what you're using as central part of the course.
- Emily M. working on a course to develop conflict development skills
- Julie - challenge is finding activity ideas - what to do in the course. Resources, readings would be helpful.
- 10,000 Women Goldman Sachs Project - Lagos School of Management.
- Swedish cooperative centre - women's empowerment material
- Pipleine - Innovation Lab - www.pipelinewomen.com CEO - Nathalie Noguera
- She Creates Change - women and transforming the world. Network of social entrepreneurs.
- Microfinance
- Alan - Bifurcating the leadership courses now - Shackleton's Way course will focus on high school age probably - School Without Walls and New Orleans - and others in DC want more day-to-day help solving leadership challenges in government, will link them in with the Open Government course (Lucas)
- Laura's course working on development, thinking about using ted talks as a springboard, using storytelling throughout the course, maybe closing monologues

Best Practices for Recruitment from P2PU:
- P2PU does general recruitment marketing. Blogging, tweeting.
- CC should do general recruitment as well.
- Poster around town helpful.
- Email well-connected listservs (some people only read email)
- For Women in Social Innovation course - work with people who she already knew/trusted first, build from that
Homework:
- Send course syllabi out through google group when ready. Will connect with experts for feedback on activities and assessments (projects, journals, anything produced to indicate learning from the course)
- Will reconvene for P2PU orientation week of January 10th. Happy holidays!
