At the heart of the most significant and lasting social innovations you will invariably find a social entrepreneur. Those 'unreasonable people' who seek solutions where most have given up trying and take 'no' as an opportunity are central to the positive social change we at TACSI are working towards.

SUPPORTING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
It's not easy, being unreasonable, and many social entrepreneurs find that they lack the support structures they need to make their enterprises effective and sustainable. But what's the most effective way of developing that support?

In an effort to find an answer, we'll be assessing the feasibility of existing models of support. We'll also be talking to as many local changemakers as we can find, to gain a better understanding of their needs and the challenges that they're facing.

We'll be investigating how best to nurture the rise of the social entrepreneur and using South Australia as our laboratory. Like anywhere in Australia, South Australia can be a tough place for emerging social entrepreneurs and their enterprises so let's find out how we can provide better support to these 'unreasonable people' and help positive social change to occur.

FIRST STEPS
To help shape our understanding of the local social entrepreneurship landscape, we're bringing together local changemakers on May 11th, at UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide.

Facilitated by our visiting KaosPilot, Bert Meijers, participants should expect a meaningful opportunity to share valuable experiences and ideas.

If you feel like you might gain from the experience, or know someone who would, get in contact with Jason Quin, the Social Entrepreneur Project Leader. jquin@tacsi.org.au
