Why "Act for Tomorrow"?

This programme is underpinned by the EDHEC Alumni association’s decision to become actively involved in the major transformations taking place in the world and to take up a position that addresses the societal and environmental challenges in the face of which we must all act. It closely reflects the ambition of EDHEC’s 2025 strategic plan “Impact Future Generations”, which calls on us to take responsibility for our actions so we can interact and better understand and adapt to the needs and desires of younger generations.

Participants in the “EDHEC Alumni Act for Tomorrow” programme are encouraged to explore and use their ideas to enrich one of the three pillars of EDHEC Alumni actions: "We Share", "We Care" or "We Dare". Want to find out more?

Your objective, if you accept it...

... Come up with content for events that will engage EDHEC alumni, to address the capacity of businesses to innovate and embrace technical progress to move us towards a more sustainable society. To define the objectives of the proposed events more precisely, we advise you to read the 16 sustainable development goals identified by the UN.

This could be a series of events, actions of solidarity, calls for participation or other ways to take part. Don’t hesitate to innovate in a way that reflects something you feel is coherent, attractive and effective.

It is up to you to define the objective, target audience, content, potential contributors and format for your project, as well as the location, date and provisional budget if possible.

Your primary target: the network's students and graduates

You can open up your events to people from outside EDHEC, but alumni must be your primary target. To reach them, take the time to ask yourself who they are exactly (age, place of residence, profession, etc.). Do you want to attract all 46,000 EDHEC alumni or only some of them? What are the expectations, desires, obstacles and means of contacting your priority and secondary targets? In other words, adopt a marketing approach to your project!

Respect the values of the EDHEC Alumni network

Our mission is to welcome all EDHEC students and graduates regardless of their course, diploma, age or background. The values we hold dear are:
- Pragmatism: a sense of action and an appreciation of tangible outcomes;
- Authenticity: express yourself, advance and succeed without arrogance or artifice;
- Commitment: commit on a daily basis to finding bold, innovative and sustainable solutions.
