Deadline: April 9, 2018
Calling young social innovators in Southern Africa! Apply to join ChangemakerXchange summit in Johannesburg, South Africa from June 18th to 22nd, 2018. The Changemakerxchange is a unique unconference and global community of young changemakers who connect and co-create cross-border impact projects! It is designed for young people who founded / lead their own initiative to tackle a social / environmental problem in Southern Africa.
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. ChangemakerXchange has no panels, no power-points, no guest speakers or site visits. We believe the magic comes through an open and flexible participant-led agenda which leverages the collective intelligence of the group. There is a strong emphasis both on maximizing social impact and on personal wellbeing.
ChangemakerXchange is co-created by Ashoka and the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
