From an unpackaged store to a forest farm in Sweden: Milena Glimbovski on the courage to simply get started
Milena Glimbovski started the unpackaged store movement in Germany with Original Unverpackt and showed with Ein guter Plan that sustainable companies can be successful - without betraying their values. In her talk, she explains how innovation comes about when you don't wait until everything is perfect, but boldly get started.
Especially in rural areas, there are spaces and networks that make it easier to try out new things and let ideas grow. Milena shows how social entrepreneurial thinking not only makes sense for society, but also economically: it makes companies more crisis-proof, regions more attractive and creates sustainability.
Today, she lives with her seven-year-old son on a small self-sufficient farm in southern Sweden. In her everyday life, she shows how community, neighborhood and regional roots can be part of a sustainable way of life.
The talk is an invitation to see your own scope, take courage and simply get started. Because there is room for ideas in the countryside - and the chance to really make a difference.
The lecture will be broadcast via livestream.
