The world does not look the same through the eyes of an artist. There is no fear of renewal. No danger seen in uncertainty. Chaos is the catalyst for change. Tension the source of innovation. And a profound crisis what inspires transformation.

Miha Pogacnik allows us to take this perspective. As he plays the violin and speaks to the audience, compositions are unraveled and barriers to our perception removed. Chaos will be encountered. Tension felt. And a space for innovation enabled.

Miha Pogacnik is an internationally acclaimed violinist, entrepreneur and keynote speaker.

Today we shared our story of founding and evolving emersense with about 60 students and recent graduates of the Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration). As guests of a weekly lecture we had the opportunity to reflect upon our journey, share our ideas and gather valuable new perspectives on various matters. Finally, the open and inviting setting also allowed further thoughts and conversations within the plenary on getting started as social entrepreneurs in Austria. Our thanks for this great evening to an engaged audience and a very welcoming and open staff.

As part of the AIESEC CareerDays09, we will be hosting an interactive workshop for students eager to take first steps as drivers of positive change. Upon brief insights into the concept of social entrepreneurship and its implementation around the globe, we will particularly create space and opportunity for the participants to identify and share their own ideas for social innovations and ventures.

This workshop is open for students of all universities. It will take place on 31 March 2009 at 2.30pm in Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. A more detailed description of the workshop and link to the applications can be found here.
