Fully-funded Ashoka ChangemakerXchange Summit in Indonesia 2018

Deadline: March 31, 2018

Calling on young innovators with social impact in Asia! Applications are open for Ashoka ChangemakerXchange Summit in Indonesia 2018. The Ashoka Changemakerxchange is a global collaboration platform for the world’s top young social entrepreneurs. The summit will take place from Tuesday, 26 June 2018 evening until Sunday, 1 July 2018 morning and participants must be able to attend all days.

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.

The ChangemakerXchange platform is co-created by Ashoka and the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
