WITNESS Chapter Included in New Book Featuring World's Leading Social Entrepreneurs

 

We are delighted to announce the release of Ron Schultz’s latest book, Creating Good Work – The World’s Leading Social Entrepreneurs Show How to Build a Healthy Economy. WITNESS was honored to join over 20 of the foremost social innovators working today in submitting a chapter for the book. Our chapter, “Video Advocacy at the Leading Edge of Human Rights,” tells the 20-year story of WITNESS, outlining our growth, challenges and successes.

 

 

Described as “the bible for social entrepreneurs in which experts in the field of social entrepreneurship share their experience, knowledge and wisdom,” this book is a practical resource that goes beyond storytelling. The book recounts the stories of some of the most successful entrepreneurial programs operating today, detailing how they overcame both physical and societal barriers to create a lasting impact on their particular slice of the world.

 

The lessons contained in this volume are an asset to any social entrepreneur looking for new and innovative ways to have a positive impact and change the world around them.

 

The book can be purchased at Palgrave Macmillan, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
