IMPACT HUB YEREVAN

Building a more inclusive Armenia in the wake of social change. About the cooperation between Impact Hub Yerevan and Artissimo NGO. The Impact Hub is a social, innovative place and community with a mission to support programs and enterprises that create social change. More than a workspace, it brings together like-minded people who aim to make a difference, providing them with networking opportunities, resources, programs and events to help them maximize the impact of their activities. It is a global network with 100 branches and 24,000 members in 65 countries. Impact Hub was founded in 2016. Since the beginning it already had many members (individuals, teams, social enterprises and organizations) that started working in the Hub in different fields but with one mission: to make Armenia a better place. Having similar ideas, the cooperation between Artissimo NGO and Impact Hub began in 2019. Impact Hub Yerevan believes that the world's greatest challenges can never be solved by one person or organization. We have to work together to overcome these challenges. So, with Artissimo's founding president, Eka Horstka, a path of collaboration for the sake of humanity began. Artissimo became a member of the Hub. Since its establishment, Artissimo NGO has focused on solving the problems of children with special needs. As a member of the Hub, in order to achieve the above mentioned goal, Artissimo continued to implement its ideas more confidently, making an important contribution to the integration of children with special needs into society. Hub has been with Artissimo for almost three years, always supporting the implementation of any initiative. The series of "Quick Talks'' has become a beautiful tradition in the Hub. Eka Horstka participates in “Quick Talks'' presenting current projects, discussing new opportunities for cooperation, and exchanging knowledge and skills. The cooperation with Impact Hub Yerevan is the basis, due to which a number of cooperations come to life, which stabilizes the activity of the NGO. This is where Artisimo developed and continues to develop as an organization.
