Destination Changemakers is a project aiming at helping social entrepreneurs to develop innovative business models, scale up and maximize their social impact. After 20 months of preparation in the UK and France, we will help three social entrepreneurs during nine months, before coming back to France to share our experience to the general public. We would like to inspire the Y generation and participate in building a YY generation.
Here is a short video presenting the project :
Destination Changemakers is not:
- A humanitarian relief, since we aim at helping entrepreneurs (and not NGOs, associations and charities) to maximize their social impact while looking at their financial sustainability;
- A “journalistic” world tour presenting social entrepreneurship initiatives, we would like to contribute to the development of social enterprises in emerging countries thanks to our business skills. We are preparing a SenseTour to contribute by our action, not a WorldTour !
Our project is composed of 3 steps :
1. PREPARE, from January 2011 to August 2012 : meeting inspiring Changemakers, defining and financing the project, acquiring useful business skills for the missions, finding our three social entrepreneurs, working on their challenges before leavng France, attending events, building a crew around our project… Click here to know more
2. CONTRIBUTE, from September 2012 to July 2013 : realizing the missions with three social entrepreneurs, studying the ecosystem of social change around them, meeting local Changemakers and establishing a typology of Changemakers… Click here to know more
3. SHARE, from August 2013 to June 2014 : sharing our experience after we come back, through a documentary, a book, academic cases and a boarding game… Our message : a new economy is emerging, and everyone can contribute a be a Changemaker. Click here to know more
