My motivation to be part of CatalystNow is to contribute my experience in building ecosystems for social innovation and youth empowerment while learning from peers who are shaping systemic change across Europe and beyond. I see CatalystNow as a unique space to co-create solutions that transcend sectors and borders, to ensure that smaller and emerging ecosystems like Slovenia and the Western Balkans have a voice in global discussions, and to amplify the impact of initiatives I am leading through SI56, Impact Hub, and allied networks. It is also an opportunity for me to grow as a leader by engaging in critical dialogue, forging partnerships, and collectively advancing the role of social innovation in addressing today’s most pressing challenges.
