Social Impact Project
The Social Impact Project is a five-week project for both Master's and Full-time MBA students. It offers students the opportunity to serve as an economic or management consultant for an organization with specific social impact objectives, such as a non-profit organization, a CSR department, a social entrepreneurship venture, or a social impact project of a for-profit organization.

Student initiatives
At the Net Impact ESMT Berlin chapter, we accelerate positive change through business. We have partnered with various organizations such as start-ups, corporates, NPOs, foundations and stakeholders of our business school ESMT Berlin.
As the next generation of leaders, we raise awareness and offer creativity, innovation, as well as effective problem-solving for social and environmental challenges.
Net Impact equips its members with the skills, connections, and experiences they need to maximize their potential and have a lasting social and environmental impact on the world throughout their lives.
Meraki Club is a student-based club providing strategic and operational support to Meraki Smile School, an NGO run by a group of international volunteers.
The organization was also student-founded, in 2021, by former ESMT student Miriam Agüero, with the aim to help underprivileged children gain access to quality education and healthcare.
Today, the greater plan is to provide an easily replicable model of an international school with an IB (International Baccalaureate) education to be applied in any other country.
