Attending the Annual SFE CEFEC Conference in Lisbon, Portugal
MVIdee’s 1st day at the SFE CEFEC Conference! Today, MVIdee proudly participated in the activities part of the SFE CEFEC Conference, an inspiring gathering of social enterprise leaders!
Dr. Maya Danova, a dedicated member of the CEFEC Executive Committee, represented us as we engaged in meaningful discussions and shared our vision for social impact. 
The event began with the CEFEC Executive Committee Meeting, led by Carla Silva and Felicitas Kresimon. Following the Secretariat opening, we heard powerful speeches from Carla Silva (President of CEFEC), Sofia Athayde (Lisbon Municipality), and Clara Marques Mendes (Secretary of State for Social Action and Inclusion). 
The day continued with country greetings and two insightful panel sessions. The first, “Good Practices in Social Firms in Portugal,” featured great examples from AREAS, MERISTEMA, El Corte Inglรฉs, and INDITEX. The second session, “Work Experiences Testimonials,” touched everyone with moving stories from Cafรฉ Joyeux, Zara Home, and others. 
Throughout the event, we also shared our โGet Inspiredโ quotes, sparking motivation and leaving the audience energized to create positive change! 
After a refreshing coffee break, the day closed with a welcome drink 
, giving us the chance to connect with passionate people from across Europe. Dr. Danova also took part in important workshops, including the Youth Academy and the incredible Art and Inclusion workshop that promoted creativity and inclusion. 
MVIdee is excited to continue this journey, inspiring and empowering change in the social enterprise world. Together, we are building a more inclusive future!
