Open House

The Open House events are a meeting point for professionals and people with an interest in the fields of Sustainability, NGOs and Philanthropy. As part of our approach, we bring together initiators, supporters and others for a useful multi-sided exchange of perspectives and experiences.

For each Open House event, an organisation selected by SUSTINOVA due to their quality and work opens their doors to the public. Visitors can enjoy a short presentation and, during an informal discussion and Apéro, the opportunity to connect and talk face-to-face about the work of the organisation and other overarching issues highlighted during the presentation.

SUSTINOVA is a not-for-profit association with the goal of promoting Sustainability in the NGO field. We strive for long-term collaborations and see this event series as one of the ways to support organisations of interest to us.
