Back in autumn 2023, ZHAW sustainable approached collaboratio helvetica, looking for a partner to design a dialogue series that would create tangible touchpoints with the recently published ZHAW Sustainability Report 2023. In this blog post, Kaspar Paur shares insights regarding the design, impact, and learnings of this project.

Introducing a new, value-based pricing model for the fifth edition of the Catalyst Lab!

Zusammen mit Impact Hub Zürich und One Planet Lab hat collaboratio helvetica den Changemaker Workshop Bundling Forces organisiert.

The term social innovation has become a buzzword, but it’s important to keep in mind that there is no one single definition that everyone using it agrees upon. Put simply, social innovation is about addressing the challenges humanity is facing, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, and gender equity - just four of the many challenges contained in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Social innovators are the people deploying different types of strategies to address these challenges.

The ultimate goal of the Catalyst Lab is to prepare participants to apply what they learn at the Lab in their own context, and activate systemic change processes in different segments and sectors in Switzerland

Freiburg, 21. Juni 2019. Unsere Gesellschaft steht vor grossen Herausforderungen. Immer mehr Menschen wollen nicht mehr untätig zusehen. Sie gehen für ihre Zukunft auf die Strasse, streiken für mehr Gleichberechtigung oder engagieren sich in Non-Profit-Organisationen.

With a lot of enthusiasm we supported the design and especially the flow of the morning for the SDSN Conference 2019 under the Motto “The Sustainability Transformation: A Joint Task for Our Society".

collaboratio helvetica was founded on the experience that more conscious collaboration is needed in order to properly deal with systemic challenges such as the ones contained in the Agenda 2030, and a hunch that a different kind of working together with unlikely allies was key.
