Hubpertivo, Pitch, Talk and Drink

Curious about current projects of Impact Hub Berlin entrepreneurs? Feel like brainstorming on solutions for their current challenges? Or facing a challenge in your own project which you would like to discuss with the Impact Hub community? Come and join us for another round of the monthly “Hubperitivo: Pitch, talk & drinks” on Thursday February 26th! ***Pitchers announced*** ---> Björn Lefers (http://www.lefers.com) will tell us a bit about the online platform that he is currently providing to students at the 'Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin' to teach them about finance & business. Through gamification, online social interaction, videos and assignments for game points, he has been able to create a unique way of teaching the topic to anyone who wishes to learn. Now, Björn would like to use this idea to provide social & sustainable entrepreneurs with a service that teaches them about setting up a business and organising the financial side to their operations. # Challenge: How can Björn best reach social/sustainable entrepreneurs and what are their most important needs in this respect? ---> Angelique & Sarina from Changing Course Berlin will be sharing their experiences in organising this free community event, which is targeted towards supporting people in increasing their positive social & sustainable impact through little changes in their everyday lives. Under the motto "Let's get together & learn from each other!" 3 buzzing events have already taken place, the latter of which was organised by a team of 6 people coming together and pooling their resources/ideas. For an impression, check out www.changingcourseberlin.wordpress.com. # Challenge: In Berlin's diverse scene of social & sustainable initiatives, how can Changing Course Berlin distinguish itself (in terms of communication and setup) to maximise its potential impact? ---> Leon, co-founder of Impact Hub Berlin, will be telling us all about the Startup Weekend Change Makers and inviting us to think about how he can reach an audience beyond the Social Entrepreneurial scene. # Challenge: How do we attract new kinds of people outside the usual audience of Social Entrepreneurs to the event?
