USable Transatlantic Idea Competition
Movers found – exemplary engagement of the generation 50+
The selection committee of the idea competition has identified a new generation of "USable movers": 20 projects were selected out of 238 applications. The initiators of these projects were honoured on 25th of June in the Körber Forum in Hamburg. 20.000€ of prize money were handed over to three of the projects. Here you can see them in a video portrait (unfortunately only available in German).
