The Ashoka Changemaker Summit is Ashoka’s largest global gathering of changemakers.
Every year, we bring together our global community of changemakers: social entrepreneurs, young changemakers, and leaders from business, government, and philanthropy to explore the most pressing issues of our time and together build a society in which everyone can contribute, participate, and actively engage in social change for the good of all.
This next Changemaker Summit will be held on September 5-7th 2024, in partnership with the City of Hamburg in Germany.
If you are under 25 years old and would like to join the Summit at no cost, please visit the Summit website for more information.
In preparation for the Ashoka Changemaker Summit, Participation Collective (Team Teilhabe in German) is taking shape - a group of young, committed people from Hamburg and the surrounding area who want to implement a positive vision and strong ideas: our future makers.
Until the Summit at the beginning of September 2024, these future makers will receive full support from Ashoka and MTS: they will be provided with experienced companions who will support them as personal mentors.
Through workshops, they receive valuable input and learn how to organize themselves and advance their projects together. They also have access to a network of enablers who open doors and create change in Hamburg.
Last but not least, the future makers of Participation Collective can freely organize an entire day of the Ashoka Changemaker Summit - and thus offer their topics a public platform.
