Charles+Leadbeater's+ideas+discussion

To link with the open source film making project that Jem is running and to act as a further contextualisation for all of your projects I want to discuss some of the ideas put forward by Charles Leadbeater.

So in next Monday's chat (16.06.08) we will discuss some of the questions raised at the end of the short youtube video that introduces some of the ideas in his latest book.

To find out more about Charles Leadbeater click here: http://www.charlesleadbeater.net/home.aspx

This is the link directly to his new book: http://www.wethinkthebook.net/home.aspx

There is a published book which you can buy or borrow if you are interested, however the first few chapters are available on the website as well as the youtube video and links to lots of research.

A lot of his work is about business but it does have interesting implications for art and creative collaboration.

I have been planning to have a discussion about his ideas for a while and amazingly this morning there was an 22 minute interview with him on the BBC World Service! You can listen or download the programme from their website here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/worldbiz/ or I have uploaded an MP3 file here: [|BBC_WorldBiz_Charles_Leadbeater_interview_10.06.08.mp3] or a mov file here: [|BBC_WorldBiz_Charles_Leadbeater_interview_10.06.08.mov]
