“Creating a Global Movement for Changemaking: Fulbright and Beyond”
What kinds of experiences shape young people to be changemakers, people with the skills and commitment to “dare themselves to act” for positive social change? At Ashoka, we seek to spark a global movement where Everyone is a Changemaker. To achieve this vision, we partner with the most cutting-edge leaders with high-level global impact potential. The Fulbright program produces high caliber leaders by fostering cross-cultural understanding and action. We believe that to succeed in today’s world as a changemaker, everyone needs to learn these essential skills. In the current presentation you will hear from three Fulbright Alumni who all form part of Ashoka’s network of innovators. Through their own stories of social change, they shed light on how their Fulbright grants directly contributed to their dedication to creating experiences that unleash the power of young people to make a difference and succeed in our changing world.
