How can we scale Self-Empowerment at the Workplace for a Better Future? • Hackathon as part of International Employee Climate Action Day
Join a global community of innovators, professionals, and changemakers and apply for our online hackathon where you'll design solutions that empower employees to create positive change from within their workplaces.
Working in diverse teams, you'll identify barriers to employee action at work and develop practical solutions—from digital tools and workshops to campaigns, services, games, or creative concepts. Throughout the hackathon, experienced mentors will support you as you turn your ideas into impact.
