Kamingespräch mit Okan McAllister: System Change (Englisch)

What it is about

The world's largest foundations, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, have joined forces to form Co-Impact to exclusively promote NGOs and social entrepreneurs that also work in a “systemic and collective” way. But what does work with systemic impact mean? What is all the fuzz about? And how can I use system thinking for my own project?

We will have a fireside chat with Okan McAllister from the ONE DAY conference, an experienced system change expert. And you can ask all the questions you always wanted to ask about system change.

Isabella Reinhard from the Katharina Turnauer Foundation and Michael Hagelmüller from Ashoka will be your guides for the fireside chat.
