The Positive Impact Circle is a space where impact-makers thrive. Its members inspire, empower, and learn from each other. The Circle fosters a dynamic network of changemakers who reunite to address society’s pressing challenges.
The Positive Impact Dinner hosted as the grand finale of Erasmus Alumni Club Day 2025, was an unforgettable evening dedicated to fostering collaboration and driving positive change.
A new group of alumni has joined the Positive Impact Circle, reflecting on a year of connecting changemakers and fostering societal change through events like the Mentorship Café.
