Nordic Young Changemaking
It takes an ecosystem to raise a Changemaker – at Ashoka Nordic we co-lead with youth in building a Nordic Changemaker community.
A Changemaker is an empathetic, creative and solution-oriented individual who seeks to create positive impact in the local community. The young Changemaker goes from idea to action in solving societal challenges and mobilizes others to support the cause.
Ashoka has over the years engaged young Changemakers worldwide. In the Nordic region we work closely with youth advisory boards, conduct capacity trainings, provide Changemaking tools to youth and educators, as well as advocate for youth leadership towards inclusive and sustainable development.
The Nordic young Changemakers are at the forefront of our work. We co-create bold initiatives and jointly work towards the vision of setting up an ecosystem that activates and supports Changemakers.
Youth projects
Ashoka is the world’s largest network of social entrepreneurs and Changemakers. We develop our vision of an “Everyone a Changemaker” world, where all people regardless of age or position see their potential to develop solutions to wicked social challenges and feel empowered to act on them. To accomplish our vision, Ashoka has engaged over 50,000 youth to accelerate their changemaking skills.
