On episode 176 I am joined by Alina Grenier-Arellano, founder of Alegoria Game. Alina began her journey into social innovation with her studies of international development and economics at McGill University. She there discovered the potential for social entrepreneurship to solve the world’s most urgent issues and pursued her Master’s of Science in Entrepreneurship at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit to research collaborative creation.

Alina specialises on identifying, promoting, and implementing the necessary conditions and culture that make people shine through, thrive and create together for the greater good.

Since then, Alina founded Alegoria Game, the trilingual board game for connection and belonging, published her research on Maker Ventures twice, and led international Open Source Pharma collaborative initiatives.

Alina co-founded Alegoria Game to support groups suffering from social stress and disconnect among groups in the mission towards a world where connection isn’t so scary and each person can feel like they can belong and thrive.
