*Discussion on Social Enterpreneurship: 20th of May*
In our next weekly meeting, we will deal with the topic *Social
Enterpreneurship*. We will start by watching the following Lightning Talks
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj1_09k9WWg&feature=emb_logo> by various
founders of charities in different problem areas together. The talks should
provide insight into charity founding in general but also into the problem
ares Global Health, Animal Welfare and Mental Health which the charities of
the speakers try to tackle.
Depending on the interests of the participants, we will proceed to discuss
issues like charity founding in general, interesting ideas brought up by
the founders or things completely unrelated to the talk. We look forward to
seeing many of you there!

Hey everyone,
we from Effective Altruism Aachen are back from isolation and excited to
announce a new public event tomorrow!
We will have a casual discussion centered around core ideas within
effective altruism and talk about how we can improve the world together.
This event is especially suitable for newcomers. So no matter whether you
met us just today or you are following our newsletter for quite some time:
If you never quite made the move to join us at our events, now is a great
time to do so!
That being said, we are sure that this event will also be valuable for more
experienced members of our group! For example, hearing what different
participants find fascinating about EA should be an interesting experience
providing diverse perspectives for all of us.
We will meet at 7pm on Wednesday (13th of May) on Zoom.
