Social Space 2011

Social Space 2011 is the fourth issue of the Lien Centre's professional magazine. The 20 articles in this publication are in eight key sections - Interviews, Perspectives, Enlightened Marketplace, Savvy Advocacy, New Social Models, Social Innovation Mosaic and On the Other Side.

At the Lien Centre we emphasise new ideas, innovative thinking and best practices. More than just a publication, the Social Space is intended to be a platform for community leaders, social thinkers and practitioners to share their thoughts and efforts, and provoke further idea generation and discussion to take the non-profit sector or what we term the 'Social Space' forward.
