What other membership organizations love about Howspace
Connections across distances
“I need an environment where I can meet and communicate with members remotely. Doing this asynchronously is also very important; we don’t have to be online simultaneously, yet the information still flows and is accessible. In other words, without Howspace, I wouldn’t have easy access to members and activists all over Finland.”
Sanna Pihakivi, JHL’s Expert on Professional Activities, Education and Guidance
Everything in one place
“Before Howspace, we used multiple tools to send prep work, run activities, and collect feedback. Now everything is in one place — it saves time and makes life so much easier.“
Valerica Dumitrescu, Education Officer at ETUI
High participation, real impact
“Howspace served its purpose perfectly. Online participation is demanding and requires courage, but the platform worked very well for us. Even during the last month, almost 70% the total number of participants were involved in the Howspace work”
Heini Hult-Miekkavaara, Senior Specialist (Career, Training and Competence Services) at YKA
