ChangemakerXchange
A global community of young social entrepreneurs, activists and changemakers.
Imagine...
if every young changemaker in the world was part of an inclusive community for the exchange of knowledge, tools and resources (only 1 out of 10 young social entrepreneurs can finance themselves through their work), if they were able to prevent burnout (which 60% of young social entrepreneurs have experienced), they were able to truly sustain, scale and/or deepen their positive impact on people and planet.

3) The Possibilists, a global alliance of 17 of the world's largest youth innovation networks (reaching hundreds of thousands of young innovators), which provides scientific insights into the needs and challenges of young social entrepreneurs.

Sharona Shnayder
Founder of the "Tuesday for Trash" Movement
ChangemakerXchange was probably the most meaningful conference/team building experience i’ve ever had! Not only because of the insightful programming and setting but also because of how thoughtfully the event was structured. It left me with so many insights, skills as well as genuine solidarity.

Mohamed Maray Elshikhi
Founder of the "Libya Youth Council for Climate Change"
This experience wasn’t similar to any youth event I had ever participated in, a lot of knowledge, energy, experience were shared between participants. ChangemakerXchange proved to me that we can avoid to organise Youth/Green washing events.
