10 years to enter into a new world<\/span><\/h1>\n

At the very beginning of the adventure, a world tour, bikes, a camera, Facebook groups. The pitch fits on a post-it: makesense will create visibility for socially-conscious, community innovations from North to South, connecting citizens and entrepreneurs to help them solve their challenges and create a global community around those issues. This is 2010, and we are certain of one thing: social entrepreneurship can save the world. We are young, the idea is new, joyful; the planet is still below +2\u00b0C.
<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first 10 years, our activities have revolved around two central points: social entrepreneurship and community, both developed according to our own tools built with our collective intelligence, collaboration, and joy. Citizens have come to the aid of entrepreneurs; we have invented paths of support for professionals; we have developed incubators; we have set up an investment fund; we have connected large groups to social entrepreneurs and NGOs… if we look at the figures, they’re nothing to sneeze at. In 10 years, we have enabled 200,000 citizens to take concrete action on the issues that affect them, accelerated the projects of 8,000 entrepreneurs and impact startups, and helped 10,000 employees of companies and organizations to become more involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But has the system been changed for all that? Our initial utopia raises a number of questions.<\/h4>\n
