Stories of Change

EPIM sees Impact as the ecosystem’s collective progress towards catalysing the social changes we want to see and our progress towards our Vision, through our 4-Pillar approach. This is what we aim to measure through our Learning Framework.

We do so through questions around our levers of change, using those to listen and sensemake individually and collectively, identify significant patterns, and take actions to adapt and improve based on what we have learned.

Yvan Sagnet and Gianantonio Ricci on Combatting Exploitation, Creating Fair Jobs and Fostering a Regenerative Agrifood System for all

We spoke with Yvan Sagnet, Co-Founder of NO CAP, and Gianantonio Ricci, Projects Director at Giuste Terre (former Chico Mendes), about their joint work on the Spartacus project. Together, the two organisations are tackling the systemic exploitation of migrant workers in Italy’s agricultural sector by combining direct support to workers with a sustainable alternative to the existing agrifood system.

The Outcomes of EPIM’s Deskilling Pilot: Introducing Our New Partners

In Fall 2023, EPIM launched a prototype sensemaking and grantmaking pilot to tackle the deskilling and under-skilling of migrants in Europe. The pilot explored how people are often guided into work below their qualifications, affecting their ability to fully belong. It also tested a more inclusive and democratic approach to grantmaking, showing how collective ideation can lead to more pragmatic and impactful actions.
