EN invites its members and partners for EN Impact Days, happening on 14th – 16th November, The Hague, The Netherlands.
EN is part of an impact ecosystem in The Netherlands, where vibrant events such as ImpactFest drive changemakers to the city during these days. To ensure our members have a chance at meaningful exchanges with impact practitioners across Europe, EN is organising 3 days of project-specific and networking activities for our members and partners.
As part of these 3 days, EN and our members and partners will discuss strategies and best practices to make our organisations more resilient. What better way to learn about different resilience strategies than bringing these trailblazers together, online and in-person.
EN will also be gathering together its members for its Annual General Meeting (AGM), a moment to celebrate collective achievements and discuss the Network’s strategy for the next years to come.
Here is an overview of the events;
