Update July 2025
B360 Annual Event
The annual B360 2025 event took place on June 24. We welcomed around 130 guests to Tanzwerk101 in glorious summer weather.
After a refreshing aperitif, various speakers talked about B360 education partnerships and gave personal insights into their motivation::
Sabina Balmer, founder and president of B360, welcomed the guests and welcomed the first two speakers to the stage. Sandra Huber and Katerina Fagetti from LGT Bank talked about their collaboration with B360 and shared memories they have gathered over the past few years with interns, experts and host families.
“The people who make B360 happen” was the title of the second part of the presentation. Whether it's the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, host families, experts, partner companies, donors, partners in Southern Africa, volunteers or the B360 team: a great many people are involved in making the work of B360 possible. Markus Hübscher, Marco Blumenthal, Marianne Egli and Sybille Amhof gave a representative account of their motivation and commitment. They all gave personal insights into their many years of personal and passionate commitment to B360.
The third part was in the hands of last year's Virtual Interns. The five university graduates from UNILUS (Zambia), Madalitso Chimalilo, Veronica Choolwe, Lusako Lwesya, Tina Mwamba and Mwange Mwange, showed the audience “their” Zambia. In addition to insights into nature, transportation, Zambian identity and traditional food, there was also music to learn about.
The formal part was rounded off with an outlook by Sabina Balmer and a review in pictures of the last 12 months.
After the presentation, we enjoyed the evening with culinary delights and interesting conversations.
We would like to thank all our guests, the speakers, the hosts from Tanzwerk101, dolce far niente for the catering and their support in finding a new location at short notice, Barbara and Lino Camponovo for the wonderful dessert buffet, Marco Blumenthal from Zweifel Chips & Snacks and everyone who contributed to the successful evening.
