Impact Week Newsletter April

Dear wonderful Impact Week Community, 

While in Germany, mild temperatures let the flowers break their way through the soil, we also witness the Impact Week world blossoming with ideas for a better world and positive meaningful change! Read on to learn more about your possibilities to get involved and exciting upcoming projects!

If you are eager to drive positive change, we are still looking for Senior Coaches in Ghana! Reach out to us if you have extensive knowledge in Design Thinking and could commit to supporting on-site from June 4th-12th! 

Our Impact Week in Accra will be a celebration of milestones. Not only will our local partner, the Heritage Christian University, celebrate its 10 year anniversary - it will also be the 10th year since the first Impact Week Challenge in Kenya in 2015! 

This event will also mark the start of something new. The winners of the 18 teams will actually get a chance to participate in our Impact Ignition Program in September in Accra. This means that we will take the next step and support these teams with the implementation of their ideas. Join us while we make history and celebrate African beats. 

Apply here until April 7th: https://app.babele.co/application-definition/354
