Deadline: February 19, 2017

Applications are now open for the 2017 Ashoka Changemaker exchange in Dubai, UAE co-created with and supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung. The ChangemakerXchange is a global collaboration platform for young social innovators. It gathers some of the world’s most exciting changemakers at impact retreats in beautiful spaces around the world for the exchange and co-creation of ideas.

The summit will take place from Wednesday, 26th April 2017 evening until Sunday, 30th April 2017 morning and participants must be able to attend all days. The aim of the summit is to build a cross-sectoral network of changemakers that work together to address the societal issues they see being most present in a collaborative manner. Participants will be given the chance to create cross-sector / cross-border collaborations.

Cost and Benefits

ChangemakerXchange covers your travel costs to/from Dubai as well as all of the conference costs for all four nights and five days (including hotel accommodation, inner city travel, food, entrance fees, etc.).

  • Should have the skills and know-how to be part of a special community of collaborative young social entrepreneurs and be willing to play an active role within this community.
