The new edition of B-Value, the social innovation programme promoted by the Banco Sabadell Foundation and the Ship2B Foundation that this year celebrates 10 editions, is already underway. Once again, the initiative will support 40 third-sector organisations in strengthening their value propositions and developing more strategic and sustainable leadership.
During the first phase of the programme, the 40 selected organisations will take part in a training itinerary combining online and in-person sessions. Over these weeks, participants will have access to specialised webinars, intensive design thinking sessions and workshops led by experts and mentors, all aimed at consolidating key leadership, management and innovation skills.
In addition, this initial phase will benefit from the direct support of Banco Sabadell professional volunteers. A total of 40 of the Bank’s professionals will support the organisations through personalised mentoring sessions, joining a network of more than 350 volunteers who have contributed to the programme since its inception in 2017.
This year, the programme reached a new record in terms of applications, with figures similar to those of 2021, when the number of candidates increased following the pandemic, which had a particularly strong impact on the third sector.
