A first TEDxLausanne event was held in September 2010. Since then, we have helped to organise 4 more events and the team has grown from 5 to 40. Turtur has helped to build a solid basis for the organisation.
We want to help companies that put sustainability over profits (while nevertheless being financially solid). Turtur has initiated the Green Pages project. While still in alpha-version, it's already functional and we invite you to discover it.
Espace Vaud.
In 2009, the idea emerged to create an
Impact Hub in Suisse Romande, a space dedicated to innovation, creativity and sustainability. The project currently takes shape in
Geneva. In Lausanne, we tried hard, but didn't manage to get the project off the ground. Our results are presented under the name "Espace Vaud".
This project is a bit - let's say - "special": Prostitution is legal in Switzerland and many other countries. In the same time, there are many problems associated with it. How to deal with them? Prohibition? Or regulation? And what kind of regulation? We had this idea to address it with a social entrepreneur's approach.
Our conclusions are presented here.
