Top fives (experimental and exploring) - from the Café Host;

1. A Collaboration Café is a mash-up in between a "world café" and "open space"...

2. Virtual means that it is a counterpart to something in Real Life, metaphorically going on in some kind of "Second Life" - in this imagine the atmosphere of your favourite Café, here...

3. Stakeholder here means those who have an interest of a phenomenon and its advancement, proliferation and/or evolvement - or demands something from something)

4. Supports means being at service for fruitful peer to peer interaction in between the stakeholders in the Café

5. Sustainopreneurship is the topic of this vcc - virtual collaboration café - and the phenomenon in focus.


In short - an open, deeply participative, laid-back-athmospehered environment for all who want to see the proliferation, advancement and spread of sustainopreneurship - entrepreneurship and innovation for sustainability - Business with a Cause!

Next step, beyond that - if momentum and energy is gained around your Virtual Intro and shouting out your needs and current status of your project and involvements, and it transforms to something that a smaller group of people gets committed to (at least you, and two more?) - engage in a smaller workshop thread at one of the APPROPRIATE GROUPS.

Main stakeholders identified of sustainopreneurship at this stage is Practitioners, Researchers and Educators - all of these have dedicated groups (and also the three target group for the What kind of sustainopreneurial project are you involved in?
