My name is Joao Scarpelini and I am an activist and social entrepreneur that works with passionate and creative people to create tools, opportunities and capacity to inspire and enable individuals and their communities to make a difference in the world!
Over the last 17 years, this journey gave me the opportunity to work in very exciting projects in over 40 countries, managing multi-stakeholder processes, community development programmes and social campaigns.
I started my activism at a very young age, out of the frustration of always being told that I was too young to understand or change the world. The belief that nobody was too small to make a difference has fueled my activism and led me into an international career dedicated to empowering people and enabling social impact.
Over the last 17 years, I gained substantive experience managing intergenerational programmes, coordinating research and policy development, organising events, designing trainings and overseeing strategic communication campaigns. I have managed a comprehensive portfolio of initiatives for the public and private sectors, the United Nations, NGOs and the media.
