Watch the video recordings of Aotearoa Conversations
The Impact Initiative brought the international conversations of the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) home to Aotearoa, for a week of online events all about the power of positive impact in a New Zealand context.
Aotearoa Conversations was an event for SEWF Digital ticket holders that ran as a parallel event to the world forum, during the NZ daytime from Monday 21 to Friday 25 September.
The recordings from these sessions are now available below. Some sessions were a discussion that followed a screening of a SEWF Digital session, but the videos below do not include the SEWF session itself.
