Last month, our office team and local coordinators gathered in São Paulo for the very first Campus B Summit. Over three days together, we reflected on the core aspects of our work and explored how we can continue to improve — strengthening our impact on students, universities, companies, and the communities we engage with.
The Summit combined workshops, collaborative activities, and just as importantly, moments of connection, celebration, and shared experiences. It was also a special opportunity to celebrate Campus B’s 15-year journey, surrounded by the people who help bring our mission to life every day. In this text, we share some of the main lessons learned from these three unique days!
