ChangemakerXchange Summit 2017
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 is calling on young founders of social ventures with impact in Asia! Co-created by Ashoka and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the ChangemakerXchange is a global collaboration platform for young innovators to connect and co-create with peers around the world!
Why attend?
- Inspirational people: 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.
- Dynamic, participant-led agenda: The Summit 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.
- Unique spaces: ChangemakerXchange are strong believers in ‘placemaking’ and that the venue of an event has a profound influence on the dynamics of the group. Therefore the Summit is run in beautiful and unique retreat style locations away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
