Join the first ever #ChangemakerXchange Summit in West Africa. The ChangemakerXchange brings together some of the world’s top social innovators, who have dedicated their lives to solving a social problem and have the skills and mindset to collaborate for collective impact. Co-created by Ashoka and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the ChangemakerXchange is a global collaboration platform for young social innovators to connect and co-create with peers around the world!
The ChangemakersXchange program identifies and connects young Social innovators on a deeply personal level at retreats around the world to build a community of like-minded individuals. They give time and space for the peer to peer sharing of knowledge, experience, passion and challenges and cultivate awareness of holistic well-being and a focus on social impact. They facilitate the co-creation of new ideas and cross border collaborations.
