Public Relations

Build and maintain relationships with partners, organisations and stakeholders to strengthen the impact and visibility of I2Impact.

At I2Impact, our mission is to empower students to create real, lasting social impact. We give young people the opportunity to work on meaningful, real‑life challenges and to grow as the next generation of changemakers. Our approach is built on four strong pillars, each offering a unique way to discover, experience, and create impact.

Our Pillars

How we create impact together

Introduce 2 Impact

Out-of-the-box events that open the doors to business for good and social entrepreneurship. Students meet role models, discover innovative ideas, and explore how purpose and business go hand in hand.

Inspire 2 Impact

Workshops, trainings, and hands‑on sessions that equip motivated students with the skills, tools, and mindset needed to make a difference—whether they start with a concrete case or simply their passion to help.

Immerse 2 Impact

A behind‑the‑scenes dive into real social ventures. Students connect with purpose‑driven organisations, join immersive visits, or take part in an impact traineeship alongside changemakers.

Implement 2 Impact

An opportunity to create tangible impact through a multidisciplinary, cross‑cultural social entrepreneurship project across the globe, contributing to positive change in communities worldwide.
