#EVPA20 Day 3 Roundup

Every morning we give you an overview of what happened online the previous day during our 16th EVPA Annual Conference and give you a glimpse of what to expect for the afternoon.

. . .

Dear Participants,

Saskia Bruysten, member of the EVPA Board and Co-Founder & CEO of the Yunus Social Business, was our surprise guest at the end of Day 3 focussed on Social Entrepreneurs. Her message was clear and many times repeated by other speakers throughout the day: we need to form alliances, be adaptable, use local expertise, become more ambitious, think long-term to be able to react in the short-term. To learn more about one such alliance, read Saskia’s blog entitled: “Building The COVID-19 Response Alliance for Social Entrepreneurs”.

Wishing you all a very enjoyable last day of our 16th EVPA Annual Conference!
