“Let’s Change Our Perspectives” Photo Exhibition: 10 Years of the Foundation

As part of the celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, in partnership with Crédit Agricole SA, is organizing the photo exhibition "Changing Our Perspectives" on the Crédit Agricole campuses in Montrouge and Saint Quentin.

A photo exhibition to celebrate the Foundation's 10th anniversary

The Foundation was created in 2008 under the joint leadership of Crédit Agricole SA and the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Grameen Trust, Professor Muhammad Yunus, to participate in the fight against poverty by promoting microfinance and social entrepreneurship. Today, with €77 million in commitments and more than 70 partners in some thirty countries, this historic partnership is being honored as part of the photo exhibition "Changing Our Perspectives: 10 Years of the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation."

Through photos of beneficiaries of the partner microfinance institutions that the Foundation supports, the exhibition takes stock of 10 years of activity in favor of inclusive finance and demonstrates the importance of microfinance and social entrepreneurship as levers of socio-economic development.

The exhibition will be open from October 18 to November 30 on the Crédit Agricole campus in Montrouge and from December 1 to 31 on the Saint Quentin campus.

A preview with the Circle of Friends of the Foundation

The exhibition preview will take place during the third meeting of the Circle of Friends of the Foundation, on Thursday, October 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at the Forum of the Crédit Agricole Campus in Montrouge. The Circle is a space open exclusively to employees and directors of the Crédit Agricole Group (entities and Regional Banks) interested in the activities and mission of the Foundation. It is a circle for sharing information and exchanging ideas that will contribute to discussions around synergies to be exploited with the Group in the years to come. To date, the Circle has more than 150 members from the Group's various business lines.

This meeting will be an opportunity to take stock of two new projects launched this year by the Foundation and Crédit Agricole: "Centimes solidaires" and "Banquier Solidaire." "Centimes Solidaires" is an initiative launched in October in Crédit Agricole's collective restaurants in Montrouge and Saint-Quentin to finance entrepreneurial projects. "Banquier Solidaire" is a skills-based volunteer program for Group employees on behalf of the Foundation's partner institutions. It will also be an opportunity to discover the events organized in November on the Montrouge campus during Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation Week.
