Social entrepreneur shares economic insights

Don Dunstan Foundation Thinker in Residence, Dr Guy Turnbull, will close his visit to South Australia by sharing his vision for revitalising the role of co-operatives and social enterprise in South Australia at an insightful event.

Hosted by the Don Dunstan Foundation and Flinders’ New Venture Institute’s Shift.ed program, the Oration: ‘SA: Towards a Co-operative State – Unleashing Social and Economic Prosperity’, will address the opportunities provided by different forms of co-operatives, employee ownership, and regional strategies.

Dr Turnbull is a UK based co-operatives expert and an award winning social entrepreneur (EY’s UK Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017).

His oration will be followed by a panel discussion of experts to discuss opportunities in the ‘purpose economy’ in South Australia – a localised economy focused on creation and experience rather than consumption for greater community benefit.

Tickets are available at discounted prices for staff.

Where: Braggs Lecture Theatre, University of Adelaide, North Terrace

When: Thursday 27 September 2018, 6.00pm- 8:00pm (networking drinks from 7.30pm)

Cost: Flinders staff $10 (General admission $15)
