Last week, our team got together to enjoy the Young Impact’s 2024 magical night.
From the moment we stepped through the doors of Rotterdam Ahoy, we felt a wave of power and unity wash over at the Impact Zone.
We were inspired by the diversity and energy of the young crowd from the moment we stepped in. The night was a melting pot of cultures, ideas, passions, and most importantly, impactful stories. Attendees came from all corners of the globe; including our new French friend Garance, one of our 25 ticket winners.
“The experience was really nice, the event itself was a success!” Garance told us with excitement.
“It was interesting to see all the stands and people interacting with each other, seeking a better future and trying to make an impact on their scale… As you wandered through the hall, you could feel the energy of the youth. I loved seeing people dancing and talking in such a healthy environment. Everyone felt genuinely eager to engage in meaningful conversations about sustainability, innovation, and social change… I felt very safe”
Garance further shared that “gathering people through a music concert was a really good idea. Music is a universal language and a way to express your opinion” .
And she’s right. For our young team, when the concert kicked off, it was like the whole place came alive.
” Seeing so many people united for the same evening, to share music, thoughts, and feelings was impressive. That’s how you make an impact!”
We couldn’t agree more with Garance’s opinion. We, as a team, were blown away by the passion and dedication of everyone involved. From the interactive stands to the electrifying concert, every moment was a testament to the power of youth and community.
We even had the pleasure of meeting Doga! Another of our 25 winners. Besides the fact that she loved the performances of all artists, she was particularly thrilled to see people wearing t-shirts with powerful quotes and statements.
Doga highlighted “I was so happy to see that people actually care. They want to make an impact and change the future. I saw one guy wearing a shirt that stated ‘Let’s just love one another’. It reminded me that besides all the problems currently in this world, love is the only thing we have left. Love reunites us. And this is what I felt that night. Love and power”.
Young Impact Night showed that when people come together with a shared purpose, amazing things can happen. Whether they were there for the workshops, the stands, or the beats, everyone left with a sense of belonging and a new drive to make the world a better place… Including our team, who is already eager to attend the next one!
So, here’s to Young Impact Night 2024! An evening that brought our team a little closer and reminded us of the power of unity, to make an impact… to unite to disrupt 😉.
Until next year!
