ODS: Working on challenges and good practices in achieving social impact
ODS aims to help CSOs achieve greater impact. But impact is complex, uncertain, and without a particular shape or direction. This workshop will focus on the ideas that ODS considers fundamental when capturing and understanding impact such as: radical listening, documenting hidden transcripts, letting informants be the ethnographers of their own conditions, and going beyond quantitative indicators in order to engage them in complex ways. All of these ideas are steps in creating new ways of speaking about impact and filling the gap between discourse and practice in the CSO environment.
1pm-2pm
LITA.co is the first impact investing platform in Europe. The platform selects impactful companies and conducts due-diligences before introducing those companies to investors.
