Adventure Education pilot in Brazil

Adventurous news heading your way! Two weeks ago we started developing our pilot for our Adventure Education series in Brazil – a series of adventure documentaries and an education concept about sustainability in general, and about Zero Waste in particular. More information will come, but here is a little sneakpeak of what you can expect. Another hint is to check out our fabolous partner’s website, Destino Azul.

Stay tuned for more information!

Love!

We need your help for starting our new fashion up-cycling initiative

We need your help! We’re initiating a new very exciting fashion up-cycling initiative. The name and other details are still a BIG secret! Nevertheless, we need your help to kick things off!

Tribster and fashion designer Alexandra Pötz is in charge of the design process, and she needs all your shirts and blouses for children and adults that you don’t need any more. All kinds are welcome!

How about that! A great opportunity to clear your wardrobe. (Do you really need all that stuff… :))

If you have something to give away, please contact Alexandra on Facebook or send her an email, alexandra [a] thegoodtribe [dot] com.

Thank you very much for your contribution!

And stay tuned for more info about the initiative :)

We come to you and talk about our research

The last year, tribsters Michael Bauer-Leeb and Evelina Lundqvist have been conducting research on how to better facilitate a business relationship between social entrepreneurs and business angel.

Now they are looking for opportunities to present their work (in English, German or Swedish!). They would love to talk to other social entrepreneurs as well as entrepreneurs, business angels, banks, and other investors, students, authority officials who want to learn more about the topic, and others who are interested.

Let us know if you know somebody who would be interested in lectures, consulting, keynotes or workshops on the topic!

Some of the topics Evelina and Michael address are:

  • What is social entrepreneurship (and why it is so difficult to define), and its role in the currently changing economic paradigms.
  • How to enhance communication between social entrepreneurs and investors and increase social entrepreneurs’ chances of finding an investor.
  • Differences between social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship.
  • How can my business benefit from including social and environmental, along side profit seeking in the core business.

If you want to know more, download the information sheet (PDF) or read more here.

Any tips are welcome! Thank you :)

The Good Tribe wish you a smashing world changing weekend!

Workshop premiere in Vienna

This Monday (16th of January) we facilitated our first workshop ever in Vienna! Our task was to provide Social Impact Award’s idea generation workshop with our two methods: Sparks (intense and fun getting to know each other) and Vision board (find your professional path in life).

We got great feedback on both methods from the participant. Sparks is like always a hit (it really always works perfectly!), and it was absolutely great to see how hard everyone worked on their vision boards, first silent and smiling and then in vivid discussions.

A big thank you to the participants and the Social Impact Award team for having us! Again to all of you who participated: if you have ideas or questions, please contact us :)

Later this spring, on the 12th and 19th of March to be exact, The Good Tribe will support Social Impact Award with pitch trainings. More information to come!

Social Impact Award idea generation workshop on Monday

On Monday, 16th of January The Good Tribe co-organize an idea generation workshop with the Social Impact Award team. Our aim is to guide you through the experience of generating ideas to solve social problems. The workshop is open for everyone, and extra super perfect if you want to participate in Social Impact Award competition later this spring. It doesn’t matter if you already have an idea or not, the workshop will take your idea (and your thinking about your future!) to a new level!

If you want to prepare yourself for the workshop, think about the following question: What annoys the hell out of you?
