Hi,
My name is Ingrid Vooglaid. I work for the Estonian Center for Home Education. We encourage and advise parents who wish to home educate their children and hold conferences to educate ourselves in the subject. I can share experience in organizing gatherings and in influencing changing laws.

I`m also in the process of founding a small ecovillage with friends.
I would like to meet people who have experience in founding a village or something similar. Especially in the area of establishing a financial base.

Hello All
I'm Karl Wilding and I'm a researcher (aka a geek) who looks at trends in the voluntary sector in the UK and beyond. I'm based at NCVO in London and I work with Louise. I'm taking part today whilst taking an hour out from a board meeting...so I'll do my best!
Cheers
Karl

Hi, my name is Maiko Kesküla and I work as a non-profit organisations advisor and consultant in Estonia. We have network allover the Estonia so in every county works at least one advisor. It gives opportunity to bring information in every part od Estonia. Our everyday question is how to rase the capacity of not-for-profit associations and foundations acting in public interests of Estonia. We also make NGOd trainings, roundtables, conferences and network building. So I,m interested in contact who i can change konowledge and experiences in these sphere.

Hi, I’m Sabine Scheltwort, one of the mentors on this project. I work for Big Brothers Big Sisters, a mentoring program helping over 280,000 children around the world reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships. All Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations share one mission, unchanged since the first agency’s founding in 1904 in America: to help at-risk young people achieve their full potential through professionally supported one-to-one mentoring with measurable outcomes.
Big Brothers Big Sisters Deutschland started to serve children in 2007. Until now we’ve established five agencies, located in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Essen and Mannheim. The sixth agency will start in Munich in 2010.
I'm interested in connecting with people who advise and support NPOs, particularly about funding and fundraising. Equally I would like to share our experiences of starting up a NPO (creating a corporate identity in Germany, developing marketing and communications strategies to reach our target groups, cooperation with companies, schools, NPOs...).

Hello, my name is Daniel Merdes from bagfa, a umbrella organisation for over 120 volunteering offices in germany. I am one of the mentors on this programme and would be glad to help anyone with network and my expertise in social entrepreneurship. Or we just talk about the adventure of (re)acting in the crazy social sector.
