What began as a simple conversation has turned into a beautiful space of connection, learning and empowerment. Together with social entrepreneurs Fatima Aitouknik and Fatima Ezzahra Draiss, a team from MANN+HUMMEL co-created a social enterprise that connects Moroccan women artisans with women travellers through stories, crafts and shared experiences.

When Dominik joined our 23rd Capability Program to Sri Lanka, he expected a challenging experience. What he didnโ€™t expect? The depth of human connection, the power of co-creation, and the impact that can happen when you let go and trust the process.

One week ago, a diverse team of 11 professionals arrived in Sri Lanka, joined by 5 local counterparts and social entrepreneur Yalini from a village on the East Coast. They didnโ€™t come with ready-made solutions โ€“ instead, they stepped into the shoes of over 1,000 farming families to truly understand their needs.

Instead of pushing ideas, they listened. Instead of designing concepts, they co-created. And instead of planning from a distance, they acted. Together, they launched a new social enterprise with three Minimal Viable Products (MVPs):

๐ŸŽ‰ We have a new president! After 10 years of voluntary service as President of our Foundation Board, Abdullah Rasheed handed over his reigns and welcomed Boris Billing as new President.

๐Ÿš€ Rasheed has played an important role in our growth from one learning center in Mongolia towards a global platform for people and organizations to learn, grow and create impact. Under his leadership, our network grew to more than 1,000 next-generation leaders developed whilst co-creating 133 social enterprises in 16 countries. We cordially thank Rasheed for all his contributions in the past 10 years.

๐Ÿ‘ At BOOKBRIDGE, we develop purpose-driven leaders whilst creating social enterprises for the big challenges of our time.
