I want to push forward the spirit of impact and social entrepreneurship in Tampere and that’s why I’m organizing a Shaking Traditions in Finland event next week. It’s happening on March 31st and it’s part of the Skoll Forum for Social Entrepreneurs eco-system. This year Skoll Forum happens on-line and has a focus on... Collective strength!
Since a year, I’m a delegate at this amazing and visionary Forum held in Oxford each year since 2005. Attending there last year was a life changing experience for me (here). This year, I’m organizing Shaking traditions in Finland and I’m very happy to contribute to bring Finland a little bit more on the map of social and impact entrepreneurship through this event.
Skoll Forum is a major event for social and impact entrepreneurs is supported by the Jeff Skoll Foundation and the Skoll Center at Saïd Business School.
If you are free next Tuesday from 5pm to 7pm EEST Helsinki time, I’d love you to join us in this discussion and contribute with your creative thinking.
As a starting point, I’ll take the carbon neutral solar sauna recently created by our social and impact company.
The speakers will first share how they are shaking traditions!! After that, we’ll have a creative discussion all together with the audience.
