The goal 

The Positive Impact Circle aims to provide a space where impact-makers thrive.  

People cannot work in silos – in isolation – if they desire to make a meaningful change happen in the world. Positive impact comes from collaboration, and collaboration happens when like-minded people come together. In this circle, members can inspire, empower and learn from each other, and in doing so strengthen their network with fellow changemakers. 

The circle gives back by connecting impact-driven alumni. In sharing knowledge and making ambitious connections, our club’s network consolidates internally, and it becomes much more capable of having a real, positive effect on the world.  

The proposition of the circle 

Members of the Positive Impact Circle gain access to three distinctive events every year. (These events are exclusively available for circle members.) 

1. The informative Leadership & Impact Workshop, complete with drinks and dinner in OASE Rotterdam. (Next: May 2022.) 

2. The coaching / speed-dating event with ambitious students who desire to make an impact. (Next: 13-10-2022)

3. The annual Positive Impact Dinner. (Next: 2-12-2022)

Extra:

Also you get access to our club event, of which the first one is on the 17th of september, where we will visit Blue City.

Members will also become part of a closed LinkedIn group.

Erasmus Alumni Club & Young Erasmus Circle

When joining the Positive Impact Circle you will automatically become a member of the Erasmus Alumni Club, as the circle falls under the alumni club. You will receive a monthly newsletter and get free access to all alumni-oriented events. (More information can be found on this website.)  

Additionally, if you are below 35 years of age, you will automatically be enrolled in the Young Alumni Circle, for whom we organise various social gatherings throughout the year. (This enrolment and the events are also free.) 

The investment

You do not have to pay an additional fee to join this circle, only the yearly Erasmus Alumni Club membership fee. The circle events will require a small fee for participation, which is to (partly) cover the costs of the event.

(Membership contribution of the Erasmus Alumni Club differs based on your age: if you are below 30 years of age, the yearly cost is 30 euros. If you are between 30 and 40, the cost is 50 euros. Between 40 and 75 years membership costs 100 euros, and above 75 years membership is 30 euros again.)
