Bosch Alumni Network - Driving Change

different alumni in their respective regions,
several coordinators have already launched
the first alumni meetings, for example in
Washington D.C./USA, Yerevan/Armenia,
Athens/Greece and Budapest/Hungary.
Others have developed strategies to bring
together the alumni in their region and to
boost cooperation. Over the next twelve
months, specific networking formats will
be tested and refined in close cooperation
with the iac Berlin. These activities range
from monthly salons and workshops to
informal meet-ups. Deepak Ashwani, regional
coordinator for India and graduate of
the “ChangemakerXchange“ program, is
planning to establish a tandem system in
which pairs of alumni get to know each
other and can offer each other mutual support.
All regional coordinators now moderate
their own group on boschalumni.net
in order to coordinate their local activities.
With their expertise and dedication, the
regional coordinators are thus a valuable
resource at the disposal of the Robert
Bosch Stiftung and their work reinforces
the global impact of the foundation.
It is great to see how highly motivated our
regional coordinators are to build up net -
works in their region and, in doing so, to
support network members in their contributions
to an open and democratic society.
The iac Berlin team is excited to see the
experiences of the individual alumni and
of course the results in 2019!
