Introductory Course Meetup with Inspiring Impact Talks! 🚀
We are excited to invite you to a joint meetup for all current Effective Altruism introductory course participants. This event is designed to get to know each other, bridge the gap between learning and action and become inspired!
We’ll be joined by inspiring impact makers who will share their journeys of using EA frameworks to make a significant global difference, and what they learned in doing this. Beyond the short talks, this is a fantastic chance to connect with like-minded professionals, share ideas, and build a stronger community of effective altruists in the Netherlands.
We will make sure that there are snacks but this will not be a full meal.
