Playing for Change was founded by the Hugo Stenbeck Foundation in cooperation with Kinnevik, Korsnäs, Metro, MTG, Tele2 and Transcom. The aim of Playing for Change is to select and support a number of social entrepreneurs who make the world a better place through play, playfulness or by removing barriers to play.
Being selected as a social entrepreneur and receiving support requires global thinking while maintaining a local perspective, as well as flexibility, creativity and a results-oriented approach. A social entrepreneur must also be reliable and able to convert an idea into reality.
What the first eight entrepreneurs chosen have in common is that they offer innovative solutions to social problems and new ideas for initiating change in society.
The eight selected social entrepreneurs gain:
- Salary funding for 1-3 years
- An advisor from within the Kinnevik Group
- Invitations to workshops with some of our best employees
- Media space
- Mobile phone and contract
- National networks
