YOU can change the future, we help you do it:

From March 17 - 18 the Social Impact Weekend in Leipzig offers you the opportunity to dive into the world of social entrepreneurship, exchange ideas with other likeminded young people in your city and develop your own projects for a better future. 🌍 💡 🔜

Social Impact Award shows you the whole range of social entrepreneurship, from social projects to ecological start-ups. In interactive workshops throughout the weekend you will get to know other young people, work together on your ideas for a better future, network and maybe form your own project team.
