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

Welcome to the 5th edition of the Why Why Why? podcast by SocialMarie.
SozialMarie celebrated twenty years this year, and we celebrated in Vienna with the nominees for the 2024 award ceremony.
In this episode, I speak with Isabel Albrecht, a board member of Unruhe Privatstiftung (the organization that funds SozialMarie). Isabel shares her perspectives on social innovation and the achievements of SozialMarie, which is celebrating its twentieth birthday.
I also talked with two SozialMarie patrons, Barbara van Melle, and Dominik Bagola. Barbara has been a close member of the SozialMarie family for many years. She was a patron for Austria in the year 2023 and currently runs Kruste&Krume. Dominik is a musician, social innovator, expert advertising creative, and 2024 SozialMarie patron of Slovenia. Curious about his music? Search for Balladero.
I also talked with Ladislav Kossar, founder of BUDDY. This conversation touched my heart and woke up the need to keep my eyes open to the needs we usually ignore. BUDDY supports children and young people who cannot grow up in their own families. You can't miss it!
