We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected for a session on "The Role of Journalism in the Impact Economy" at the next Impact Europe's #ImpactWeek in Bilbao this November! Out of 153 proposals, 20 impact projects were chosen to be presented as best practices 🙌 As part of the Torino Impact Journalism initiative, we will bring our vision of Solutions-oriented Journalism to Bilbao, discussing how it differs from traditional journalism and understanding its role and importance in the current media landscape 👁 What do we mean by impact journalism? How can today's information contribute to shifts in economic, environmental, and social paradigms? Is it possible to measure the social impact of news? With a mission to explore all the frontiers of the impact economy, Torino Social Impact has always kept a close eye on the media world, seeking journalism that promotes positive impact 🚀 From the search for answers to these and many other questions, Torino Impact Journalism was born: an initiative dedicated to the role of information in the era of the impact economy. It’s a journey to understand how journalism can help promote change in a context where all societal actors, from institutions to businesses, are called to address major environmental and social challenges. The journey into Impact Journalism continues with the second event in a webinar series titled "Fundamentals and Principles of Solutions Journalism."

🌱✨ Still buzzing from the discussions at #ImpactFest in The Hague, NL: the event was a melting pot of innovative ideas on food systems, impact investing, and circular economies, shared by passionate individuals and organizations eager to drive sustainable change. 🤝 Thought of the day: The diverse assembly of actors (impact investors, local developers, practitioners, NGOs, MSMEs, donors,…) is like an orchestra. Each of us may play a different instrument, but it's time we embrace the music we can create together. Rather than a cacophony of isolated efforts, we have the opportunity to compose a melody of meaningful change, where sustainability and prosperity are the inspiration/aspiration. In the grand concert of progress, it's time to tune our actions. Let's 'play music together' with our respective instruments through #partnerships, creating not just sound, but a symphony that resonates with the rhythm of scale and the harmony of impact. 🎵 #Partnerships #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #ImpactInvesting #Collaboration #FoodSystems #ChangeMakers #HeiferNL #HeiferInternational #leavenoonebehind #sustainablelivingincome #smallholderagriculture

Wednesday Thank You and a wee video 📺 The big thing I've learned at Young Social Innovators is the importance of the support we get from our corporate partners. Additional to this support is the passion and drive that these partners bring with them to change our little planet for the better as well as passing on their knowledge and lived experiences to young people across Ireland - Life is so much more fun when you have likeminded and passionate social innovators (entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs from the business and coporate world) joining you on the journey. We work closely with the team at EirGrid Group (big shout out to Liz Dillon and Sinead Dooley) inspiring young people to think about a more sustainable planet. In fact the ideas that we've been shortlisting for our Awards at the Aviva Stadium in May have been amazing - it was really difficult to shortlist these amazing ideas in our Sustainability for our Planet and Planet Protectors categories - so much creativity, passion and innovation. Check out this wee video that EirGrid Group made for the recent sustainability workshops that we held with them Aviva Stadium. Also, big thanks to our other corporate sponsors and partners for all your ongoing support: Aviva, Virgin Media Ireland, HANNON Transport Ltd. IBM, Kooba, REACH Evaluation, Amárach Research, Deloitte (Ireland).👏 Did you know that as little as €1000 can help empower up to 10 new young social innovators - just a thought to leave you with 💡 If you are a business/corporate that wants to help young people change the world through social innovation and want to know more just get in touch: [email protected]

Leslie Johnston, CEO of Laudes Foundation, threw out some "hot potatoes" at a recent convening form EVPA. I’ll catch this one: 🥔 "Isn't #degrowth the only solution to this mess we're in?" It depends on what we are referencing when we use the word "growth". "Growth" is not an object. It is a direction of movement. We cannot choose if that movement is good for us, or not good for us, until we understand what, exactly, is moving, and what, exactly, it is moving towards. When I listen to modern conversation about "growth", I see a reference to 19th Century progress into an ever-expanding geopolitical Frontier through technological innovation and economies of scale that has been stripped of its humanity during the 20th Century, and reduced to simple numerical increases in the volume of transactions, measured in prices paid in money, from one period of measurement to the next. The formula by which the power of money to shape our behaviors is being deployed today is this: ⬆ GDP ➡ ⬆ NPV ➡ ⬆ NAV ➡ ⬆ AUM ➡ ⬆ fees and profits for market professionals making money making markets, and the vast ecosystem of other professionals who make their money supporting these market makers in making these markets. It's all just numbers. There are no people in this formula. That's a problem. The bigger problem is that people who see that this is a problem are so convinced that the solution is to insert people back into this formula that they are militantly hostile to the possibility that that is not possible, and that the solution is not to modify the formula, but to abandon it entirely.

At EVPA's #ImpactWeek here in #Torino, we got a bit uncomfortable. Between panels on delivering on the #SDGs and accelerating #impact, we were treated to a harrowing film by Martina Melilli. "Mum, I'm Sorry" (https://lnkd.in/e2AmrttQ) tells the story of the desperation and hopes of migrants trying to get to a better life. Most don't. As I sat in the darkened room, I felt uncomfortable. Helpless. Sad. Indignant. It was not an uplifting film. It had no resolution. And it showed, in raw and jarring imagery, the injustices we experience in our society. For me, it also reinforced why we at Laudes Foundation do the work we do. And why I choose to be part of the EVPA (now Impact Europe) family. #ImpactWeek gave me the opportunity to dissect these injustices, these deeply rooted systemic challenges. To share experiences with other philanthropic foundations, impact investors, corporates. And to explore how, together, we can do more, better. And faster. It all started with hot potatoes. In our opening plenary, I had the opportunity to throw a few hot potatoes to a group of impact leaders across business, finance and the public sector. Hot potato topics such as: 🥔 Will #AI kills us all? 🥔 What's all this fuss about #gender equity? 🥔 Isn't #degrowth the only solution to this mess we're in? 🥔 Is "impact" the new #greenwashing? Thank you to Shiva Dustdar, Hans Stegeman, and Jean-Philippe Courtois for catching these hot potato questions and offering some insightful reflections and compelling calls to action. And throughout the week, along with over 1000 other impact leaders, I dipped into various conversations on salient topics, many of which helped me start to answer some big questions such as: ✅ How can we strengthen our foresight muscle to be able to anticipate and prepare for future trends? (with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and Forum for the Future) ✅ What does it mean to really and radically collaborate? (with Una Terra Venture Capital Fund and Climate-KIC) ✅How can we de-risk investments in large-scale climate solutions? (with Canopy and Vedra Partners) ✅How can (better) #governance help mission-driven organizations deepen their impact? (with Esade) Thank you to Roberta Bosurgi for your leadership, to the Impact Europe team, and to the board of EVPA for championing our mission. And much, much gratitude to Impact Europe's anchor partners Fondazione CRT and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo. 🙏🏼 Saskia Bruysten, Chris West, Maha Keramane, Silke Horakova, pascal vinarnic, Dr. Markus Freiburg, Antonio Miguel, María Ángeles León López, Marco Gerevini Monika Lessl, PhD Andrea Varese, Alberto Francesco Anfossi Nicole Rycroft James Hughes Luca A.
