Every year, the Group of Foundations and Companies of Argentina (GDFE) organizes an annual event about private social investment. This year the slogan was “looking towards the community”, seeking to make those present question how to generate impact by addressing the real needs of the communities. Our Operations Manager, representing Cre-Ser, moderated a moment of interaction with all the participants.
Cre-Ser took part in the event “Finance for the Public Good”, with the aim of fulfilling our purpose of promoting collaboration in the financial market and strengthening civil society organizations.
Cre-Ser was part of the workshop “Business and Human Rights: Focus on children in the due diligence process”, a space for reflection and debate on the practical aspects of due diligence on the rights of children and adolescents, with special attention to risk management and the promotion of good practices to integrate respect for the rights of children and adolescents in business activities.
The GDFE and EY held the 1st Edition of the Virtual Course: From Idea to Reality: How to design projects with impact and capable of accessing sustainable financing?
Aimed at business leaders and civil society organizations that develop projects with positive social and environmental impact.
We participated again in the Cycle of Dialogue between foundations and companies organized by GDFE. During 5 meetings, at IAE Business School, we improved our ability to design and execute new impact projects.
Together with the Social Council of the Buenos Aires City Government, Red Argentina por la Adopcion, Fundacion River and Racing Club in Villa del Parque, we conducted introductory basketball clinics and workshops on the importance of sports for children in adoption situation.
The Social Council has 5 areas of work: motherhood and early childhood, addictions, older adults, disabilities and adoption. As members of the Honorary Council of the Social Council, on this occasion we worked on the last axis, teenagers in adoption situations.
From Cre-Ser we would like to thank Racing Club for allowing us to use their facilities, the entire team of the Social Council and also the teachers of River and Racing for their support and training of the children.
Cynthia Hotton, president of the Social Council, participated in the event.
Sofia Meijide, our representative in Buenos Aires, had the pleasure to meet with Cynthia Hotton, president of the Social Council of the City of Buenos Aires. We have the common goal of promoting social sport in the City of Buenos Aires and we have already started to think about concrete initiatives. We are very grateful for this new space to promote more basketball!
Red Creer is an initiative of Potenciar, a collective impact platform that seeks to strengthen the socio-economic inclusion of people deprived of their liberty or released from prison. With Cre-Ser, we believe that sport is a great tool for social inclusion, generating opportunities and strengthening life projects. Therefore, we are committed to promote the use of sports for the purposes of the Network and to articulate with its members ways of including sports to solve this problem.
