TED Fellow Esra’a Al Shafei calls the Summit “working sessions for social entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs.” Whether your passion is human rights, education, the arts, sustainable business, the environment… at the European Summit you can get inspired. Share your purpose. Find new partners. Connect with resources. Create results. Join our community.

What Is The European Summit?

It’s a high-impact, interactive weekend with an engaged group. Pool resources, work together, support each other. Speakers are participants – you don’t just sit and listen. Whether you’re just getting started or have a successful initiative, the Summit is more than a conference, it’s a weekend to change the world.

Who’s at the Summit?

Activists, artists, educators, non-profit directors, corporate executives, social entrepreneurs, people of all ages from more than 20 countries. Want to rekindle your passion for your projects? Connect with resources and like-minded people? Form new partnerships and pathways for action? The European Summit is for you.

Support Darius & DMD. Take the Goslabi Challenge!

Through their film, Darius Goes West, Darius Weems and his amazing band of teenaged buddies are raising funds for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We made a little video to show support for what was then an idea: the Goslabi Challenge! They ran with it and now you can join the Goslabi Challenge, too!
