A lecture by the social entrepreneur will address the themes of purpose and social impact and is part of the institution’s 67th-anniversary celebrations

On April 28, the Ramacrisna Institute will inaugurate its new Event Center with a special program. The initiative is part of the celebrations marking the institution’s 67th anniversary and reinforces its commitment to expanding initiatives aimed at social transformation.

To celebrate, the organization is hosting a lecture with writer, businessman, and social entrepreneur Marcio Zeppelini, known as Zeppa. Under the theme “Purpose and Attitude to Make Impact Happen,” the lecture invites reflection on how to align purpose, attitude, and execution, transforming ideas into concrete actions and generating real impact on results, even in the face of daily challenges. The event will bring together employees and the community and is open to the general public. No prior registration is required.

With over three decades of social work, Zeppa has built a solid track record connecting entrepreneurship and social impact. As head of Rede Filantropia, he has led the organization of over 200 events aimed at strengthening the Third Sector. As executive director of Zamppelini Editorial, he is responsible for the publication of thousands of technical and scientific articles, contributing to the professionalization of social organizations across the country.

For Solange Bottaro, vice president of the Ramacrisna Institute, this moment symbolizes growth and renewal. “We are very happy to celebrate Ramacrisna’s 67th anniversary with the inauguration of a space that expands our capacity for action. The Event Center represents new possibilities for impact, training, and connection with the community,” she notes.

She also highlights the event’s significance for both internal and external audiences. “It will be a unique opportunity for learning and inspiration. We want every participant to leave motivated to make a difference—whether within the institution, at work, or in life—transforming this occasion into a vibrant space for collective creation, where ideas become actions that generate real impact in people’s lives,” she adds.
