Last week was huge, with the showcase events for our Live the Dream programme in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. More than 300 people attended in support. There is an incredible community building around this work.
Meet Irene. Together with another Welly-based social entrepreneur, Liv, she’s on a mission to spark social change across Aotearoa by giving our young people the access to education about relationships and early stage abuse that she never had.
Our involvement ranged from supporting the scholarships process, to running various events and workshops for young people throughout the forum. Every night we held events for young social entrepreneurs to connect, share stories and knowledge.
I’m super excited to share that the Social Enterprise World Forum is now confirmed to be hosted in Christchurch, September 27–29. Just quietly – I reckon New Zealand can pull off the world’s most epic SEWF yet!
