This podcast comes to you thanks to SozialMarie [https://www.sozialmarie.org/en], Europe's first prize for social innovations. We aim to highlight the work and stories of social innovators from our vast European network. We invite you to explore stories of awarded social innovators each month, answering these three curious questions: Why did they start? Why did it work? Why to persist?
We want their stories to inspire and connect:
* Inspire: get ideas and empower yourself!
* Connect: reach out to successful social innovators and their ventures, and find ways of interaction and cooperation.
* Transfer and scale up: Learn how civil society in other countries tackles widespread and common social problems.
If you are a social innovator and want to learn more about what we do, drop us a message, or let's talk podcast@sozialmarie.org
