Espresso & Impact: Connecting Europe’s Social Changemakers

​About the session
In the spirit of building genuine community, this informal gathering brings together a European network of social changemakers for connection and conversation.

​Hosted in a relaxed, coffee-style setting, the session creates space to meet peers from across the continent, exchange perspectives, and explore how funding and collaboration in Europe are evolving.

​Rather than a structured discussion, this is an open, lightly facilitated space designed for conversation. Participants are invited to share what they are seeing in their own contexts, reflect on common challenges, and explore opportunities to work together more effectively.

​The focus is on connection, curiosity, and building relationships that can continue beyond the session.

​Who this is for
This session is for European social impact leaders, funders, and practitioners interested in connecting with others across the region and exploring the future of funding and collaboration in Europe.

Location & access
Accessibility matters deeply to us, and we do our best to choose spaces that reflect that. That said, some of our Oxford venues are in historic buildings without lifts. This room is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair users, those with mobility challenges, or anyone needing step-free access.
