Impact Boom’s 14 Most Popular Articles & Podcasts From Global Changemakers In 2018
Yesterday we jumped aboard a bus filled with high potential enterprises, Elevate+ Alumni, purpose-led founders, social business leaders and people doing great things in the community, government and academia.
The Brisbane Social Enterprise Tour was an initiative of Impact Boom, together with the support of the Yunus Social Business Centre ( Griffith University). Throughout the day, we learnt about the Brisbane Social Enterprise ecosystem from some of the most inspirational social enterprises: Nundah Community Enterprises Cooperative, Elevate+ Alumni Vessel Nundah and Bertonni, Brisbane Tool Library, Food Connect Brisbane and Substation33. The result? 8 hours of learning, sharing stories & networking. Thanks to everyone who made the Social Enterprise Tour possible, and a special thank you to: Richard Warner, Marion Glover, Mike Lepre, Blackcard Cultural Tours, Sabrina Chakori, Emma-Kate Rose, Robert Pekin, Queensland Social Enterprise Council, Ingrid Burkett, Max Noble, Tony Sharp, our Griffith University partners and Celeste Alcaraz for helping with the event organisation.
