Drumroll… to our first big pitch! On the 17th of March we had the chance to share our progress story with the rest of PREMIUM. Our virtual presentation evening was nerve wrecking but also thrilling; we got to connect with other teams and get inspired by their progress. We took part in the Mid-term presentations where we showcased what Commit2Commeet is all about, answered audience questions and got positive feedback and improvement points. The atmosphere was positive, friendly and supportive. Even dancing was involved! Many thanks to D&I Office for their supportive feedback boost, Politie Limburg for their points of improvement which we are actively working on, and ATOS for their interest in our project and their question.

If you missed our pitch, here is what was included:
1. What is COMMEET - a global fellowship that aims at community empowerment. Its vision is to accelerate regional sustainable development through empowering local communities with the provision of toolkits which they can apply themselves. Now under the UNESCO umbrella, COMMEET is looking to expand its practices and reach out to even more people.
2. Our challenges:
a) measuring social impact in a time frame of 4 months and no existing data. This requires reaching out to toolkit users, figuring out inventive strategies to track activity.
b) facing inactive social media platforms that have limited reach, and are not informative and up to date with COMMETs current presence.
3. Our solutions
a) impact measurement of COMMEET’s toolkits through feedback loops
b) raising awareness of COMMEET’s message through our website and social media.
Moving on, our team is working to operationalize our ideas with the goal of making a relevant contribution to COMMEET! Stay tuned on our Tumblr page for the next two months when we are going to implement and finalise this soul-filling project!
