Sayra&Çınar Vakfı**Starts with an Idea | Social Entrepreneurship Talk** How can an idea become a solution to a social problem? And where is the first step taken to bring that idea to life? In the inaugural meeting of the **"Starts with an Idea"** talk series, organized in collaboration with the Sayra&Çınar Foundation and İzQ, we are hosting **İsmail Hilmi Adıgüzel**, the founder of The Hangel. Starting from his social entrepreneurship journey, we will discuss the process ranging from recognizing a need to developing a solution, and from taking the first step to creating a lasting impact. We are taking the first step of this series in İzmir, aiming to bring together the university students our foundation provides scholarship support to, along with youth from different universities and entrepreneurship communities. Keeping alive the memory of Sayra and Çınar, whom we lost in the October 30, 2020 İzmir earthquake, by making space for the ideas and future of young people makes this gathering even more meaningful for us. We invite all young people who are curious about social entrepreneurship, want to develop their own ideas, and wish to hear about experiences in this field to our gathering.
