Friday night, pizza, beer, poverty and business – this time On The Couch will be discussing the controversial topic of poverty alleviation through business! What does it mean? How does it work? Are win – win situations possible? 

On The Couch, organized by Sustainable Business Club (SBC), is an event where opinion leaders and students get together to discuss and debate about critically acclaimed issues. Instead of lecturing, the event is informal and challenges all kinds of opinions and students from different fields of expertise. To give everyone the change to participate in the discussion, the number of participants is limited to 20 – first come first serve. The first event under the topic “Degrowth” was a success and gathered together people from all the three schools of Aalto University as well as from University of Helsinki. 

The second On The Couch invites Reetta Nevala from the Ekokriha project and Tytti Nahi, a researcher in Aalto University to join the Couch to discuss and answer your critical questions around the topic. Reetta represents the company perspective and Tytti has experience from the NGO side.

The event takes place on Friday 25.4. at 18:30 in Helsinki City center (tbc).
