The current focus of the Social Entrepreneurship Center podcast sheds light on the impact of the war in Ukraine on civil society organizations from different perspectives - within the country, in the realm of international aid organizations, as well as in Austria.

Artem Kornetskyy, founder of the School of Mindful Entrepreneurship and host of the Social Impact Award in Ukraine, reported on the effects on social enterprises and non-profit organizations in the country. In episode 47, "How is the war shaping Ukraine's civil society", he explains why he believes the war has even led to an increase in social entrepreneurial activities.

In episode 48, we discuss the role of international aid organizations with Andreas Knapp, head of Caritas international aid and chairman of Nachbar in Not. Topics such as the role of preparation for rapid assistance and coordination between different aid organizations are at the center of the discussion.

Maren Riebe from the Ute Bock Refugee Project was our guest in episode 49. She discusses how support for refugees is structured in Austria, where challenges for her organization arose in the past months, as well as potential for even better support for refugees, regardless of where they come from.

The focus will comprise a total of five episodes - we are excited to welcome two more exciting interview guests in the near future!

Thank you to our wonderful guests. All episodes of Inside Impact are available here.
