CONCLUSIONS: - Social Entrepreneurs change the performance capacity of the societies. (Peter Drucker)- Social capital and changemaker ecosystems are built through healthy networks of team- entrepreneurs. (Iñigo Blanco)- Networks which foster social capital should be of a special kind.- They should prompt spontaneous connectivity between nodes and the appearence of resonant bubbles of cooperation. (Dr. R. Praszkier) - Networks blossom when people sense care, empathy, responsiveness, continuous connectivity (even if we get no response). (Dr. Ryszard Praszkier)
