Joachim Schwarz
Joachim's mission is to support like-minded civil society actors and social entrepreneurs to become more powerful and innovative. This mission drove him to leave his NGO career, focussing on his passion for social justice and building the civil society academy in 2014. Since then, he has been developing individually designed concepts and new training formats to empower social pioneers to kick-start their projects in a more efficient and future-proof way. Based in Berlin, his heart beats for Africa and Asia, where he lived for two decades and coached individuals and organizations on social innovation, leadership, organizational change, and advocacy for the past eight years.
