Inhabiting change

«Inhabiting change is the title we have chosen for this edition of our annual event. And among the various areas in which this change must take shape, there is also training, to which this year, in addition to Meet the CSR Leaders, we will dedicate an entire series of talks and appointments” says Rossella Sobrero, creator of the event. «Educating for sustainability means providing tools to understand and manage complex problems, promoting responsible behavior, creating synergies between the entrepreneurial, institutional, non-profit and educational worlds, but also strengthening dialogue between generations. With Meet the CSR Leaders we want to do just that: look to the future and support the generations that will inhabit tomorrow’s world”

The second edition of Meet the CSR Leaders

The project is in its second edition. In 2022, the initiative was divided into 3 days of meetings for 10 hours of one-to-one orientation and involved 43 young participants, who were able to meet and dialogue with 23 Sustainability Managers. On YouTube you can review the interviews with some of the protagonists at this link. «Students, young people approaching the world of work for the first time, startuppers: Meet the CSR Leaders was welcomed with enthusiasm and curiosity. Also from the professionals who intervened with passion, dedicating time and advice” comments Elena Mancino, Amapola partner. «This year’s ambition is to multiply the meeting and discussion spaces, involving a greater number of people and making more sessions available. Because we truly believe that focusing on training is central to support a new model of sustainable development.”
