Description Everyone A Changemaker Empathy Movement Leader, Indonesia/ SE Asia Ashoka is on an audacious mission – to create a world where everyone is a changemaker i.e. a world where everyone has the agency and skills to make a posi?ve change in their families, communi?es, and at work. Empathy skills (which can be learned and improved) are founda?onal to building an Everyone A Changemaker movement. Historic Moment All of us are facing a historic moment. For genera?ons, society has followed a siloed, hierarchical approach to solving challenges and has been de?ned by repe??ve e?ciency (think assembly line). But this approach is falling short when it comes to the number and complexity of the shared problems we now face. So a new game is taking shape – one where change is the norm, and where the most open, ?uid systems and teams thrive. In this game the rules are di?erent (in fact they are s?ll being created!) but one is paramount: everyone can and must be able to play, and to drive posi?ve change. This is the ‘Everyone A Changemaker’ vision that Ashoka is working toward and it is our best hope for building a world where problems no longer outrun solu?ons. Ashoka is unleashing demand for empathy as a 21st century skill. Our Global Empathy Ini?a?ve and our Everyone A Changemaker collabora?ons have mobilized a powerful group of social entrepreneurs (Ashoka Fellows), schools (Ashoka Changemaker Schools), media thought leaders, and other partners to drive a fundamental shi? in children’s educa?on and youth years.
