Strategic partnerships with oikos St.Gallen and Social Impact Awards

We are happy to announce two strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations!

EVOLVE conference 20 - 21 April 2018, University of St.Gallen

The goal of the conference, organized by the oikos Social Entrepreneurship team is to create a platform on which social entrepreneurs, start-ups, corporates and interested students can interact and develop their own network, as well as raise awareness for social entrepreneurship and learn about its essential role for the future of business. Participants receive the opportunity to develop their knowledge in doing business socially by not only meeting successful and inspirational experts but also partaking in workshops, keynotes and panels led by them. They will cover a varying range of themes, such as using Blockchain technology for a social purpose, Impact Investment, Micro-Sharing, the Psychology of doing business socially, customizing your own business plan and many more.
We're happy to give strategic support in the planning of the conference and to see euforians being there as workshop facilitators, e.g. Svetlana on Impact Investing or Severin and Benjamin on how to initiate social projects.

Would you like to learn, interact and make a change? Come to EVOLVE!

Welcome Diogo!

Hi, I'm Diogo and I'm from Mem Martins, Portugal. I was born in Lisbon, but I have always lived in Mem Martins, near the beautiful town of Sintra.

My greatest passions are music and humor. In my free time I play guitar and drums, I like being with my family & friends and doing long walks alone or accompanied. When I have a lot of energy, I practice kickboxing, and in the most creative moments in which I feel the need to express myself, I like to write humorous texts. This allows me to have different perspectives of the same reality and to be fairer with myself and with others.

This photograph was taken in Cape Verde, in one of my missions in which I had the privilege of participating and meeting simple, warmhearted and happy people. This experience taught me to feel grateful for what I have and to be happy to simply exist. There are days that seem hazy, but there is always a sun behind the clouds to shine. And the sun has shone and I have the opportunity to be part of this beautiful family, to be able to make a difference and to be an actor of change in a world that I love so much!
