Happy (least-chaotic) summer holidays! 🏝️

Whether you’re reading this within, or across borders, we are wishing you a pleasant summer time filled with unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to hear your stories at Border Sessions in autumn 🥳

After this summer

We have some tough news to share. We have postponed the upcoming Border Sessions from the 10th of June. It takes more time to organize Border Sessions the way we envision it. We've got a lot of positive responses, but also the feedback from speakers and (potential) participants that they have a hard time committing for a full day. At this point, it just doesn't feel right yet.

Border Sessions is a temporary space where we learn from each other, reconnect with old friends, and embrace new ones. As a team, we believe to do the best job possible to create and present the space wherein the exchange of hearts & minds is optimal. With a bit more time and effort we think that we can do this.

Our team is dedicated to getting it right on November 2, 2022. We hope to see you then!

Hello, I'm Matt Barnaby.

I'm a Brexit escapee now living safely in The Netherlands.

I'm an unshakable believer in the need for meaningful connection and collaboration to tackle the messy problems out there in the world.

So for social purpose-driven teams who face complex challenges, I create and facilitate the space for those conversations to happen and turn into actions so that change happens.

I've been fortunate to do this in the worlds of renewable energy, transport, policy, social care, mental health and digitisation with organisations such as UN, UNICEF, OECD, REN21 and Government organisations all over the world.

In the two hours we have together, I'm proposing that we can run a small un-conference within a conference.

So if you have something you'd like to share, discuss, gather the thoughts of others then come along, pitch your suggestion and we'll self organise to make things happen.

Barbara Gwanmesia is a Nederlands-based social entrepreneur, vocalist, copywriter and novelist, who has spent decades seeking and creating ways to move Africa and Africans towards better opportunities and wellbeing. That drive has resulted in, amongst other things, social-conscious glossy magazines like BygGyrlsDyntCry and African woman NL; the creation of a mother-tongue publishing and copywriting house; and the co-founding of The Afribol Company – whose Afribol snack not only sold out in various outlets of Holland’s major supermarket chain AlbertHeijn to-go, but became a media ‘item’ in The Netherlands for more than two years. It has also lead to literary works in the field.

But the most important of Barbara’s vision and drive to impact the African social and intellectual landscape has been the birth of Batazia. Batazia is a bold and all out effort to break the language barriers that have made access to (poverty-alleviating) opportunities, knowledge and knowhow inaccessible to hundreds of millions of Africans.

Barbara is co-founding the first knowledge-streaming platform to make books, stories and learning accessible to Africans in all indegenous and official African languages. The team's intention is to cover all 2000+ indigenous languages and lingua francas of Africa.

Introducing Nina de Korte who will talk about redesigning ownership.

Society expects business to do better. But how likely is this, when the underlying structures still promote short-term profit extraction? Even for impact-driven startups, a traditional shareholder-owned structure is still the go-to route.

What if ownership would be redesigned? What if stewards, instead of absentee shareholders, would hold the steering wheel of a company?

Steward-ownership capitalizes on the power of entrepreneurial for-profit enterprise while preserving the company’s original purpose. In contrast to a shareholder-owned company, a steward-owned company belongs to itself, eliminating the threat of short-term profit extraction that goes against the mission of the enterprise. This might sound idealistic - but this form has been used by pioneering entrepreneurs over the decades. Bosch, Carlsberg, Sharetribe, and many others, including some progressive investors, have been successful in applying the steward-ownership.

Nina de Korte has a background in energy-tech, where she noticed how impact startups drifted from their mission after exiting. She started researching and writing about the topic of steward-ownership, together with Gijsbert Koren. As more and more entrepreneurs asked for advice on how to implement this model, We Are Stewards was founded to guide businesses in their oriëntation and transition to steward-ownership. Nina is connected to The Hague University of Applied Sciences as a guest lecturer in Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
