Change making
Founder Damien Clarkson says: “Social media has been at the heart of Vevolution’s growth.
“It blends meaningful real life events with change making online. People always find inspiration and connection at our events and they want to share this with others, without social media this movement wouldn’t have been possible.”
Podcast
The talks are also used in the Vevolution Podcast – which debuted at number six in the global education chart.
Clarkson said: “The response to the podcast has been great. We have had more than 5,000 downloads in the first month. We are committed to developing high quality educational content that people can access freely around the world.”
