MEET+CHANGE: Meet with Social Impact

MEET+CHANGE is a unique format in Europe, designed for companies and associations seeking to create meaningful social impact through their events. 

Rethink your next meeting and imagine it in a truly special setting. How about a strategy day in a cultural centre, a workshop for people with disabilities, or a team-building session in a community venue? The venues we partner with through MEET+CHANGE are social institutions — places where community commitment is lived every day. 

• Your venue hire directly supports social and cultural institutions. Many of these venues have limited income sources. With your event, you make a meaningful contribution — each institution sets its own fee and receives it in full.
• MEET+CHANGE venues gain recognition and visibility. Above all, the daily work of staff in these institutions becomes visible. As an event organiser, you help shine a light on what often remains unseen.
• Perspective drives change: you and your participants meet in a completely new and unfamiliar environment. This raises awareness for different working conditions and encourages dialogue with new target groups. It also inspires fresh ideas and new insights.
• Your social engagement demonstrates that sustainability goes beyond organising “green events”. It shows your commitment to social sustainability, your willingness to take social responsibility — and your role as a changemaker. 

Currently, we cooperate with five different MEET+CHANGE partner organizations: three community meeting centers, one integrative workshop, and one non-profit organization. The locations promote, among other things, exchange between multiple generations, encounters between different cultures, engagement with refugees, and the inclusion of disadvantaged people in everyday life and the working world.
