Team Rimfrost is a proud representative of Sweden, Umeå and our company, Vakin, in the Winnovators 2019 challenge. Together. For a sustainable way of life.
Nice visit at Hogsmill! Many thanks to Deena from @thameswater and Stefan from WaterAid for the tour. See you at awards night, best of luck! @winnovators@wateraid
This weekend there is a hip hop festival in Umeå, Mästerbotten. It is Kranmärkt - the only water served is tap water. Made by nature, delivered by us at Vakin!
We learned how to arrange events, and effective ways to involve co-workers, family and friends in the WaterAid fundraise. We used our business contacts as an asset, an essential part in our fundraising. #winnovators#wateraid#learn
Theme of the day: The final countdown - a Swedish 80:s rock classic with Europe (and guitarist Kee Marcello from Umeå). Best of luck to all Winnovator teams, see you in London! #winnovators#wateraid
One of the best experiences with Winnovators was to get to know each other as colleagues, and as friends. We discovered hidden skills in the team, which helped us reach our goals. #winnovators#wateraid#learn
Quote from Saras Learn-report: "I found it exciting to gain an insight into completely different parts of the organization, for example the meaning of communication. Something as small as tweeting was a challenge." #winnovators#wateraid
Quote från Elin W:s Learn-report: "I feel I have influenced friends and family, from knowledge of eSwatini to telling my children to save water. I am often involved in local projects at work, but here the purpose is global sustainability . It feels good." #winnovators#wateraid
Winter, spring, summer and fall with Winnovators! With only a few days left we recieved a donation from Umeå Mark&VA, who wants to learn more about WaterAid and sustainable water use. Fund total = 118 000 SEK, 9131 GBP! #winnovators#wateraid#yesyoucan
Quote from Mikaels fund-report: "One of my goals was to learn about another country. It has been really interesting to get to know eSwatini's prerequisites for water production and think beyond everything we normally have access to. To start from scratch with zero and nothing."
Entreprenadaktuellt, a magazine for companies in the construction sector, has published an article about our Winnovators Fund and Solve challenge! #WaterAid#Winnovators https://t.co/L9KWGRcuSD
Quote från Cecilias Learn-report: "We have come to know each other on another level. It’s a difference between having a cup of coffee with your colleagues and creating something completely new together." #winnovators#wateraid#learn
Anna-Lena from our steering grupp has helped us with her business contacts and lots of support during the Winnovators Challenge. A thanks is not enough, but Elin B knows she likes Swedish Fika... #winnovators#wateraid#fika
Urban, Elin W and our first Solve experiment. When you mix water and electricity, it´s always a good idea to have a controller nearby… #wateraid#winnovators#learn
Quote från Svens Learn-report: "For me it has been interesting to work in a group with so many different skills - to say the least, a diverse group. But it has worked beyond expectation and everyone on the team has shown great commitment." #winnovators#wateraid#learn
Our Fund goal was 100 000 SEK. A tough challenge in our tiny town Umeå - but we made it! See you at Winnovators Awards in London! #winnovators#wateraid#yesyoucan
Quote from Malins Learn report: ". I couldn't believe there was so much work and administration in fundraising - we even had to reject some good ideas because in the end they became too difficult to accomplish." #winnovators#wateraid#learn
Quote from team leader Urbans Learn report: "For me personally, water is so much more than something you drink. It is beautiful, calming, it adds value to my house and cottage. Water is life." #winnovators#wateraid#learn
