Ashoka Inspirational Talks

The COVID-19 pandemic and other global ongoing issues have made it challenging to work on creating a better future.  

Nevertheless, the Ashoka Fellows have been taking action. Ashoka Fellows are a group of extraordinary changemakers who see the world not as it is, but as it should be. And who are building the pathways to get us there. 

To provide a community to foster positive change, Ashoka Switzerland organized a series of Inspirational Talks with Ashoka Fellows. During the online conversations, the most pressing social problems were discussed, innovative ideas to solve them were identified, and an environment inspiring everyone to become a changemaker themselves was created. 

See below our past talks and check out the important work of these Ashoka Fellows. Also, feel free to check out the Welcome Change talks happening every Wednesday to stay engaged with the Ashoka community here.
