Our amazing Alumni of the Social Innovation and Management Programme made their way to Vienna last week to dive into the topics of Collaborations and Partnerships. This get-together was extra special, as we couldn’t realise our Alumni module for two years due to Covid. So this year, we invited all Alumni of the editions of 2019, 2020 and 2021. Thereby, we brought together 44 individuals from civil society organisations in 11 CEE countries here at WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) from May 18 to May 20, 2022.

In those three days, our participants could exchange on current developments in their countries, explore potential avenues for interorganisational and intraorganisational collaboration and learn about community development. Next to diverse interactive sessions, a keynote was held by Gabriela Gandel, board director of the Impact Hub Network and we paid a visit to ERSTE Foundations “Time to Decide” Europe Summit, where a group of renowned experts discussed key questions for Europe today.

All in all, it was an inspiring event for us and we thank everyone who participated for their positive energy!
