Ashoka Changemaker Summit 2024

Hamburg > September 5th - 7th

The Ashoka Changemaker Summit is Ashoka's largest community gathering.

Every year, social entrepreneurs, young changemakers, and leaders from business and philanthropy get together to advance our shared vision of “everyone a changemaker”.

In 2024 we hosted 430 people in our sixth summit and reached an estimated audience of 16,2M people in collaboration with the City of Hamburg and many other amazing partners.

The Participation Collective: Young Changemakers in Hamburg

The Participation Collective, launched by Ashoka and MTS, was a platform for changemakers under 25 that empowered them to shape the future, offering a year of support to turn ideas into action.

In the months leading up to the Ashoka Summit, these young changemakers co-led the agenda and strategy for True Participation in Hamburg, designing one whole day of the summit.

The Ashoka Changemaker Summit's agenda is a collaborative creation: every participant was invited to submit ideas and proposals, allowing them to articulate their unique perspectives on true participation.

Content Creators at the Summit

We recognize the power that culture, content, and content creators hold in shaping the world we are imagining. In order to make significant change in the way we understand the world, we need to shape the power of stories for maximum impact.

This is why we invited a group of powerful storytellers to join us on this journey at the Changemaker Summit. So that they can connect with a community of changemakers, much like themselves, and identify new ways to activate a culture of changemaking.

Participation Playbook

To increase our social cohesion and quality of life, everyone needs to be able to participate in the good of all. In this section, you can connect with stories of people who are affected by problems and injustices but are also part of the solution. Through their experience, they've learned that they have the capacity to drive change for good.
