APPLY NOW TO ChangemakerXchange on Empathy and Social-Emotional skills

Welcome to the application page for an exciting special edition ChangemakerXchange on Empathy and Social-Emotional Skills.

Co-created by Ashoka and Robert Bosch Stiftung, ChangemakerXchange is a global collaborative community for over 600 of the world's top young changemakers to connect, share and develop cross-border collaborations.

This special summit is in partnership with ALV gGmbH.

n a world of exponential change, we are confronted by an increasing number of complex inter-connected societal and environmental problems. Ensuring solutions will outpace problems requires effective collaboration at a scale never seen before. Thriving and collaborating in this new world is only possible with deep empathy and social-emotional skills, the ability to understand and respond to the feelings of others. Today, cultivating our innate capacity for empathy in children and young adults is as fundamental and urgent as numeracy and literacy.

We are looking for 20 of the most creative young Changemakers from across Europe, whose mission is to cultivate empathy and social-emotional skills in children and young people.

You might be 

  • A Social entrepreneur who has founded their own social start-up 
  • A Young teacher who has an idea which is spreading beyond your own school walls     
  • A Storyteller who is raising awareness about the need for a more empathic society     
  • A Young ‘intrapreneur' who is pioneering an empathy-focused initiative from within a bigger public or private sector organisation.

We will bring this group together in a unique collaborative summit format close to Cologne from April 24th-28th, after which they will get the chance to become part of a vibrant global community of social innovators. The summit will be followed by an accelerator program for this group to advance their impact to the next level, diving deeper into issues like systemic change, fundraising, holistic well-being and stakeholder engagement.

LOGISTICS AND COSTS

ChangemakerXchange covers your travel costs to/from the venue as well as all of the conference costs for all four nights and five days (including hotel accommodation, inner city travel, food, entrance fees, etc.). However, we expect you to cover your own visas, local travel to the airport in your own country and from the airport to the venue in the host country (in very limited cases we may be able to support with some of these costs, please reach out to us). 

Please note that we will be asking people to offset the carbon footprint of their flights and we are also committed to making our events as carbon neutral and environmentally friendly as possible.

* NOTE our view on offsetting is not that it enables us to 'guilt free' continue our polluting behaviour and that it MUST be invested into systemic projects which tackle root causes of climate change AND combined with difficult habit changes we all have to make (reduce absolutely everything you can, offset the rest.
