After the December session at the BBF, the new meeting held in February
After the December session at the BBF, the new meeting held in February began with a tour of the BBK Kuna facilities by director Eider Inunciaga. Floor by floor, the participants discovered the opportunities of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) house.
Precisely the SDGs were the focus of the first presentation by Arantza Acha from Unesco Etxea. The conversation suggested by Arantza focused on the 2030 Agenda sharing that this Agenda in addition to the SDGs includes other determining aspects such as "Leave no one behind" or "Shared but differentiated responsibility". With this and taking into account that the transformation of society is the focus of the SDGs, she proposed to create alliances from the root in order to build something that does not exist. Finally, she left a reflection: "we value what we have learned more than what we have obtained, how can we measure a process rather than a final result?
After this inspiring space it was time for Eduardo Fierro from Kuvu, who seek to reduce the social isolation of aging people. With the framework of his impact report Edu spoke about the importance of collaboration to move from impact to systemic impact. At the end of the day if the focus is only on our objective it could be done alone, but if what we want is to seek impact on society, collaborations are paramount. Therefore, right now they are focusing on fostering collaboration among their stakeholders to achieve the social change they are aiming for.
This first part gave way to a second activity where the 14 participating entities were divided into 2 groups to share space and time, something crucial in collaborations as Arantza and Edu mentioned. In one of the groups the objective was to advance the conversations that had been opened since December and to propose actions for the coming months. In the other, to open the first conversations to eventually move on to more concrete alliances.
The final phase was a time for sharing. To share what had been the conversations and the progress in the collaborations in this organic space that emerged among the participants. Conversations such as those that arose between Emankor Sarea and Kuvu in relation to foster youth and homesharing or between Avifes and Riven where they simply laid the first stone for a possible meeting. To this we must add the conversations that advanced in yesterday's meeting. For example, Uluwatu Camps met with the possibility of organizing leisure to a set of associations such as Bizitegi, Gaude or Argia Fundazioa. At the same time, Euskape together with Argia Fundazioa proposed to create an escape room on diversity. In addition to these conversations and collaborations in particular, other projects such as Caritas Bizkaia, Oiko credit, Only One, Asebier or EDE Fundazioa were protagonists in this space of opportunities.
In addition to sharing conversations and experiences, the last moments were focused on thinking about what the next steps could be and the possibility of a new meeting was opened. In short, the Topaketa Alliances program itself is an alliance, an alliance between BBK Kuna, Bolunta and MTA. Taking into consideration that systemic impact is part of the mission of the 3 organizing entities, as Kuvu commented, collaboration is needed. From now on it is time for this network and movement of connection between social entities and companies to move to the next phase. Will you join us?
