Social Impact & Swim: Beach Gathering for Impact Professionals in Barcelona
A Bloom in-person gathering for salty swims, sunset conversations, and serendipitous connections.
Looking to unwind after work and meet others working on purpose-driven projects in Barcelona? Join us by the sea for a casual gathering with fellow Bloomers and local impact professionals.
Bring your swimsuit (or just your curiosity) — we’ll meet on the sand, take a dip, and chat over drinks as the sun sets.
This is a space to connect, share ideas, and celebrate the beauty of doing meaningful work in community.
What to expect:
Informal post-work beach vibes
A swim-friendly spot (or towel-friendly if you're skipping the water)
Conversations on social impact, systems change, and whatever else the waves bring
Optional drinks nearby after the swim
