Find out what social entrepreneurship is and can be, network with successful social entrepreneurs and connect with other young people from your area.

The Social Impact Award shows you the whole range of social entrepreneurship, social projects and ecological start-ups. In interactive workshops over 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 small project team. The entire weekend is free of charge. You can participate with or without an idea, alone or in a team. We are looking forward to you and your ideas!
