Welcome

We are the YY Generation.

Together we can end poverty.

Destination Changemakers is a project aiming at helping social entrepreneurs to scale up and maximize their social impact. After one year and a half of preparation in the UK and France (January 2011 – August 2012), we will help 3 social entrepreneurs in the Philippines, in India and in Senegal during nine months (September 2012 – June 2013), before coming back to France to share our experience to the general public (July 2013 – June 2014).

What Destination Changemakers is not :

  • A humanitarian project. We are going to work with social enterprises that are financially sustainable (not NGOs  or charities) and work in the field of social development
  • A journalistic world tour. We want to contribute to the development of these enterprises with concrete actions. We are actors, not just commentators.

 

Who are we? 

Jonas Guyot & Matthieu Dardaillon. We are two students in business school (ESCP Europe). We chose to realize two gap years before finishing our studies : one gap year for professional experiences in the sector of social business, sustainable development and microfinance; one year with social entrepreneurs in emerging countries with the project Destination Changemakers.

Why this project? 

We have chosen to create Destination Changemakers and to dedicate a whole year to work with social entrepreneurs in order to:

  • Make a difference by using our business skills in enterprises with great social added value : develop business skills
  • Learn on the ground and develop our comprehension of social change : develop social skills
  • Work in partnership to have more impact : develop partnerships skills
  • Be inspired to create then our own social enterprise and become changemakers 

When is it ? The project lasts 3 years and a half.

    • Philippines : September – December 2012
    • India : January – March 2013
    • Senegal : April – June 2013
  • The sharing of our experience : July 2013 – June 2014
