Sparkle, goosebumps and social change – that’s how we’d describe our 2025 award ceremony. But what really happens behind the scenes? What thoughts guide our jury as they navigate over 400 submissions? And what does social innovation mean today? Listen to the podcast here.

In Episode 12 of our podcast, Anna Misovicz, Jury Coordinator of SozialMarie, and our host Jose Morales take you on a journey behind the scenes of May 1st.

They talk about

how projects inspire courage and hope – even in difficult times
and how the jury process becomes a true act of appreciation

Also featured: music from Slovenia, spontaneous moments of joy, heartfelt emotions – and a few surprises.
