Impact Creators Amsterdam
I’m doing things now that I never would’ve dared to do before!
“Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned all about design thinking and impact entrepreneurship. The best part? I’m being challenged to apply that new knowledge right away in a cool impact challenge for a real company — in my case, New Economy.
Together with a team of impact creators, we’re helping them connect with local residents to build a community around sustainability and regeneration.
What I love about the Impact Creators program is how it pushes me out of my comfort zone. I’m doing things I never would’ve dared to do before and meeting people from all over the world I otherwise never would’ve met.”
