The Driving Positive Change (DPC) Series 2025–2026 continued in September with an inspiring session on “Shaping the Narrative: Visibility as Sector Strategy.” Designed to help members of the Euclid Network (EN) scale impact and strengthen their social enterprise work, this session focused on the power of storytelling, data, and public engagement to elevate the sector’s visibility.
In this session, members had the opportunity to learn from Florent Chauvin, Deputy CEO at Mouvement Impact France and Mark Hillen, Co-founder of Social Enterprise NL, who shared practical insights on designing strategic narratives that position social enterprises as key players in addressing social and economic challenges. The session offered guidance on:
-
Reframing and amplifying messaging for greater impact
-
Building consistent, compelling sector narratives
-
Engaging media, decision-makers, and the public effectively
The discussion included storytelling tools, builting visibility and shifting public perception. Members also engaged in a lively Q&A and peer exchange, reflecting on common misconceptions and successful examples of sector-level narrative building.
Key Takeaways:
-
Visibility is a strategic asset that can unlock opportunities, partnerships, and recognition for social enterprises.
