The network in action for a positive impact

In 2021, to reflect EDHEC Business School’s 2020–2025 strategic plan “Impact Future Generations”, what could be more natural than to give all the EDHEC generations, wherever they may be in the world, the chance to engage in a dialogue to address their expectations?

The fundamentals of this programme

The challenge: to reinvent EDHEC Alumni based on the ideas of members willing to get involved, with a view to building a network of even greater solidarity and in step with contemporary environmental and societal issues.

The principle: to tease out projects for and by alumni. EDHEC Alumni club ambassadors were not only able to communicate amongst themselves, but also with other members of the network not affiliated to clubs, so as to broaden both the debate and minds.

The format: two online workshops in small groups, connected via WhatsApp discussion threads. Registered participants choose from three topics before joining their team, moderated by an ambassador or EDHEC Alumni trustee. Each with a different EDHEC experience, participants bring their personalities to the table so together they can take a step towards change, one that could be supported by students and graduates alike..




Testimonials from participants

“I could see that others from EDHEC were committed to a social and environmental approach”

“Deploying the group’s energy in a limited timeframe”




Testimonials from mobilisers

“Motivation and many ideas, a fantastic exercise! The participants were super effective when it came to dividing up the different roles, limiting themselves to the essential and structuring the final idea. In short, it was about knowing how to trust others”

“I met fantastic alumni from many different backgrounds as part of our collaboration”
