By gathering international young social innovators for a week in Sweden we not only want to strengthen them, but also spread the message of youth as a big resource for positive social change
As our world becomes faster and more complex, it is absolutely critical for any institution to maximize its percentage of changemakers- people who are willing to create change and who are seeking for bottom-up solutions.
By gathering outstanding young European changemakers in an Academy in the summer 2008, we will spearhead a network of young leaders who will then inspire as many young people as possible to take action
A global community that is able to respond quickly and effectively to social challenges anywhere. Everyone would have the freedom, confidence and societal support to address any social need in an everyone a changemaker world.
"We want, as much as possible, every young person to know: we are with them to help make them succeed."
- William Drayton, Founder and CEO of Ashoka and Youth Venture
