The BUILDx Social Innovation Series provides a platform for our community to learn about social innovation, exchange knowledge, and collaborate with each other to build a better future.

Our goal is to bring together bright social changemakers to give talks that are idea-focused, and on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter to the social innovation ecosystem in Palestine.
