Global Goals: Co-creating the future we need
This year the SenseCamp theme is Global Goals: Co-creating the future we need.
‘In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030. These goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.’ – United Nations
How can we realise these goals and co-create the future we need? What role should social entrepreneurship and business play? How can we as a community and as individuals contribute towards achieving the Global Goals?

What to expect?
Keynotes and Lightning Talks
Social entrepreneurship thought-leaders will come to share and inspire us with their stories and practical insights.
Inspiration Sessions
Social entrepreneurs will share their personal stories and experiences in a more intimate setting. The talks aim to inspire through tangible examples, kickstart a conversation with the participants and ultimately drive them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshops or in their work.
Interactive Workshops
Facilitators come to share their experience and methodologies by putting the SenseCampers to work. Groups from 20-30 participants will walk out of the workshops with concrete new knowledge that can be applied for current or new projects.
Hold ups
One of the MakeSense flagship methodologies, these creative co-creation workshops are the most hands-on method of supporting your fellow social entrepreneurs at the SenseCamp. They will come with a specific challenge that would benefit from the power of 15-20 motivated and multi-disciplinary participants, and you’ll help them solving it!
Barcamp
Workshops are crowdsourced from the participants on the spot – anyone can suggest an activity or workshop, participants vote for their favorites ideas and the highest voted get to happen!
Great Food
Expect healthy, vegetarian /vegan Saturday lunch and Sunday brunch (free). There will also be snacks and coffee (also free), and smoothies and drinks available through the Camp.
MakeSense spirit
We consider ourselves as changemakers. Therefore our unconference is highly-interactive and focused on actionable output. We also care about sustainability, and we try to make the conference as waste-free as possible.
And…
Open pitch sessions for participants to share their projects with others, NonSense party on Saturday night, yoga and dance sessions to start on sunday morning… and lots of networking – it’s all about the community!
