How to Run a Crowdfunding Campaign | Campfire Stories with Roots Radicals, Online, 30 November 2021

In this Campfire Story, you will meet Monica and Mia from Roots Radicals and learn about the story of their ongoing crowdfunding campaign.
About this Event

Starting with their circular cooking concept and mission, Monica and Mia will then steer the conversation towards why Roots decided to crowdfund and what the process of ideating and implementing the campaign looks like. They will point out the dos and don'ts as well as highs and lows, leaving you with a deep understanding of how to kickstart a crowdfunding campaign.

The session will have an open format — a conversation between all participants with the intention of providing a space for exchange amongst local changemakers and Q&A on how to best run a crowdfunding campaign. The first and most important thing for a successful campaign is the crowd!

#TakePart and support their campaign — you can choose a meaningful Christmas gift from their carefully developed rewards and support them on their mission to end food waste, taking part in a circular food system.

Emergent Berlin 2021 - An event series by and for local projects.

Every Tuesday night in the second half of 2021, this year’s EMB provides a platform for people and places to reconnect, reflect on and share our collective and individual experiences and strategies.

Theme 2021: “Rising to meet the crises.” As we gradually emerge from the pandemic in Berlin, the climate catastrophe is knocking at our doorstep. We need to act with a sense of urgency. We invite fellow social-ecological projects and people who want to take action to reconnect, reflect on and share our collective and individual experiences and strategies. Where are we at? What can we learn from the pandemic? How can we step up to the evermore urgent climate and sustainability crises now?

Each month, we shift our focus on another aspect of taking action for transformation: personal, ecological, aesthetic, cultural, economic and social.
