We have a good balance in terms of representativity: 50% of men and 50% of women. These organisations are based in French-speaking Switzerland (50%) and German-speaking Switzerland (50%).
They will all be supported by 2-3 coaches from May to October in order to elaborate a development plan and boost their impact. They will also participate to 3 3-day workshops led by recognised experts from different backgrounds: social entrepreneurs, businessmen, professors, and so on.
