  • Social Impact 2010 Playing for Change Invests in Social Entrepreneurs Who Help Children and Youth to a Better Life 2010: the FIRST YEAR
    Social Impact 2010 Playing for Change invests in social entrepreneurs who help children and youth to a better life 2010: THE FIRST YEAR In the beginning of 2010, Playing for Change was still only a good idea, a project of Hugo Stenbecks Stiftelse’s that would soon to launch its very first campaign. But by the end of the year Playing for Change was an, international foundation, funded by Kinnevik – work- ing on two continents, registered to fundraise, engaging volunteers and advocating for children’s rights. In its initial launch Playing for Change received almost 1900 applications and made waves through out all major media outlets in Sweden. The first year the foundation sup- ported ten early stage social entrepreneurs in Sweden, and through them altogether reached over 300 000 children. Playing for Change’s mission is to find and support social entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and methods that can improve the world through play, playfulness, and by remov- ing obstacles to play. Because even though the right to play may seem natural, millions of children are denied this vital aspect of their development. Even in the most depressive en- vironments and hazardous situations, play can be a key to the future, empowering children and young people. Sara Damber, CEO Playing for Change “A modern initiative, build on innovative models, brave ideas and exciting dreams. Playing for Change both starts an important debate and cements the image of a com- pany group that is not only able to interact with the society but is also a part of it – and is willing to continue to be a part of it.” Excerpt from the jury motivation when Playing for Change was awarded the Social Capitalist Award 2010, from leading Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer.

I hope that we have had the opportunity to meet face to face since I took over as CEO of this amazing company in September 2012 and, if not, I hope that we will do soon. I have been with MTG for over 19 years now and it has been an incredible journey. We have developed and expanded more than any of us would have dreamt was possible back in 1987. The constant factors throughout this period have been our desire to learn, to be better, to expand, to grow, to make money, to invest, and to never stop being curious and asking questions. Now, here we are – more than 4,000 people operating across 4 continents in almost 40 countries – and we are still dreaming, and planning for much much more. I started by thanking you for your time because that is the vital and prized commodity of our modern times - we want as big a slice of your time as possible, so that we can engage you and entertain you. We hate boredom. In fact, we are on a mission to eradicate boredom globally! That may sound like a pretty big statement, but I am serious – that is what MTG is all about.
