Nora Wilhelm - Swiss, Europe

2020 获奖人 | Systemic change catalyst | Swiss

As recognised by Goal 17, we need new forms of collaboration to face the challenges of our time. Beyond fighting the symptoms, there is an urgent need for approaches that address root causes. Founded in 2017, collaboratio helvetica is an initiative that catalyses systemic change towards the societal transformation of Switzerland. We cultivate a cross-sectoral innovation ecosystem, run different capacity-building programs and enable others with our knowledge and resources. With our partners, we convene actors from all sectors in Social Innovation Laboratories around the complex challenges contained in Agenda 2030 to co-create solutions. Building on Switzerland’s heritage of dialogue and democracy, we seek to activate its unique potential to contribute to a change towards a more sustainable and ethical future. Beyond contributing to the transformation of our country, we are part of a global movement and a laboratory that can inspire and support other social innovators across the globe.
