Everyone A Changemaker Everyone A Changemaker

Under the High Patronage of
Mister Nicolas Sarkozy
President of the French Republic
and
President-in-Offi ce of the G20

Ashoka is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs—men and women with system
changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems. Since 1981, we have elected over 2,700 leading
social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access
to a global network of peers in over 70 countries.
Ashoka envisions an Everyone A Changemaker world. A world that responds quickly and effectively to social
challenges, and where each individual has the freedom, confi dence, and societal support to address any social
problem and drive change.
To ensure that the leading ideas for social change are fully developed and sustained, we offer critical interventions
on three levels—the individual, the group, and the sector.
- Supporting Social Entrepreneurs: Social entrepreneurs are the engines of social change and role
models for the citizen sector. Ashoka identifi es and invests in leading social entrepreneurs and helps them to
achieve maximum social impact.
- Promoting Group Entrepreneurship: Groups and networks of social entrepreneurs working together
accelerate and spread social impact. Ashoka engages communities of entrepreneurs and supports collaborations
that impact entire fi elds.
- Building Infrastructure for the Sector: A global network of changemakers requires tools and support
systems to deliver sustainable solutions. Ashoka creates needed infrastructure, such as access to social fi nancing
as well as bridges to business and academic sectors.
Ashoka’s network also consists of the Ashoka Support Network, a global community of business people who
believe that entrepreneurs are the primary engine for economic and social development. They commit their
time and resources to support the work of social entrepreneurs.

«Dear Friends,
It’s with immense pleasure that the Ashoka team welcomes you today
for the fi rst edition of the Ashoka Changemakers’ Week!
Thirty years ago, Ashoka launched in India and Bill Drayton coined
the term ‘social entrepreneur’. Six years ago, Ashoka launched
in Western Europe, notably in France. Since then, the social entrepreneurship
movement has continued to develop globally, with new
currents arising and the number of actors growing. The message is
accelerating within civil society, universities, media, but also recently,
within the business world.
This anniversary provides us with the opportunity to share and exchange
with actors of social entrepreneurship in Europe and in the
rest of the world. We have learned a lot over these past 30 years,
from supporting social entrepreneurs in 70 countries. This allows us
to have a future vision of the sector and to understand what we must do to develop solutions that match the
scale of the challenges society faces.
This unprecedented gathering is organized for and by changemakers. Its ambition is to defi ne and develop the
necessary ecosystem for accelerating social change in Europe, while learning equally from the experiences of
other innovators around the world.
Two central ideas structure this gathering:
- Action: It is no longer enough to debate problems – they are well known and we have characterized
them thanks to the previous work of our partners. It is time for action! It is time to put into place effi cient
models and make sure they scale.
- An unprecedent concentration of changemakers: You were invited to this event because you
are an entrepreneur, in the social or business sector, or an intrapreneur within your organization. Simply put,
you are part of the population who dares to take risks.
We hope that these two ideas, when combined, will allow for the development of new collaborations, capable
of accelerating social change and diffusing this change broadly.
I would like to thank everyone who made this event possible. Our partners of course, but also to the organization
team led by Laurence (Aurélie, Sarah J, Thomas, Pauline, Lisa, Clémence…) and more broadly, to the
entire Ashoka France/Belgique/Suisse team (Sarah, Catherine, Hélène, Pascal, Kurt, Olivier, Virginie), the interns,
and to our large number of volunteers, as well as those colleagues from other countries across Europe, from
Washington DC, and from the rest of the world. All of them are dedicated builders!
It’s up to you to take action now! Take advantage of this moment for meeting, exchanging, and innovating!
There are no limitations to what we can do and accomplish together, beginning with the moment when we
believe that everyone can be a changemaker! »
Representing the Ashoka team,
Arnaud Mourot

Diana Wells, President of Ashoka
Global
«Ashoka is proud to be celebrating its 30th Anniversary this
year. The three decades behind us mark a signifi cant contribution to
the development of the citizen sectors of over 70 countries, across
fi ve continents. Beginning with the pioneering concept of social entrepreneurship
by Bill Drayton, Ashoka’s founder and CEO, these past
30 years also represent a historical shift in how societies perceive the
agency of individuals to drive social change. Ashoka has managed to
identify more than 2,700 leading social entrepreneurs whose new solutions
are challenging conventional ideas and changing the world for
the better. More recently, Ashoka has built programs and initiatives
to extend its impact by mobilizing young people, university students,
business entrepreneurs, and the general public to build an “Everyone
a Changemaker” world because we understand that the only way to
address the growing number of problems is to ensure that there are
more problem-solvers.
Thanks to our global network and partners, Ashoka has uncovered
various insights about social change and impact. For example, the success of our global association of Ashoka
Fellows -- more than half of whom have changed national policy after fi ve years -- allows us to understand that
the most profound change occurs when an entrepreneur pursues a system-changing idea. A further insight is
that the scaling and replication of these models requires a particular enabling environment. Ashoka calls this
enabling environment an “Everyone a Changemaker” world. This is a world that responds quickly and effectively
to social challenges and where every individual is equally empowered to affect social change.
With the number of people actively pursuing social change exponentially growing, being a changemaker - an
individual with the freedom, confi dence and societal support to address any social problem and drive change
– is more accessible to society than it has ever been. We are delighted that you are joining Ashoka, and other
changemakers, to discover the opportunities, initiate the new solutions, and identify the tipping points which
will contribute to creating an “Everyone a Changemaker” world. This is the world Ashoka ultimately strives to
create and we welcome you in this co-creation. ”
Diana Wells
President of Ashoka Global

The Ashoka Changemakers’ Campus is built upon a pragmatic and cross-cutting multi-track framework. Each
track represents a key component to move forward social change in the next decade. You can choose to
follow one track all the way through or choose to experience multiple tracks.
From teaching empathy to our youth, to
sharpening our adult social insights and professional
social skills, sessions along this track explore the
unique skill-sets that enable individuals to be agents
of change in their communities, their workplaces,
and in the world.
Examples of Sessions:
- New Tools for Talent
- Every Child Must Master Empathy
- Learning For Change
Scaling the impact of changemakers requires
developing the right eco-system of support, such as
information infrastructure that offers public access
to meaningful news and knowledge, technology infrastructure
that makes managing social challenges
easier, and social fi nancing infrastructure that can
offer effective and attractive market mechanisms for
investing in the citizen sector.
Examples of Sessions:
- The Changing Landscape of Social Finance
- Emerging Innovations towards Full
Information Citizenship
- Lifting Millions across Information Service
Divides

This track invites us to re-imagine the alliances
that can be forged to increase our impact.
Social-business collaborations, public/private partnerships,
and the role that SMEs can play in social
change are some of the areas explored along this
track, inviting participants to engage in cross-sector
alliances for change.
Examples of Sessions:
- New Mindsets for Corporate
Collaboration
- SMEs and High Value Collaboration
- Leveraging Public Policy for Social Change

During the Changemakers’ Campus, there are many occasions to work
intimately and concretely towards pragmatic solutions.
In addition to the plenaries which provide an overview of the concepts, you’ll have access to smaller interactive
sessions and working groups. Sessions are divided under four main moments which allow you to progressively move
towards action and collaboration: During Tuesday, you will be introduced to the three tracks and will then dive into
the central challenges and opportunities along each track. Wednesday morning sessions will showcase the most innovative
solutions and the trends driving these solutions into the future. Wednesday afternoon will provide the space to
construct personal plans of action that will last beyond the Changemakers’ Campus.

and open space allows for networking and informal
exchange.

DRUM CAFE
The World’s Premier Interactive Drumming
Drum Cafe was started in Johannesburg in 1996 by Warren Lieberman. It started as an actual cafe where drumming was
used in a relaxed environment to break down barriers, inspire, and bring people together. Moved by the experience of
communal drumming in Africa, Warren developed a global team building and entertainment program with Africa’s top
drummers. The result 14 years later is a program used by many of the Fortune 500 companies worldwide. Through
Drum Cafe, we will unite, uplift, and inspire ourselves as we begin our journey into the Ashoka Changemakers’ Campus.
The Collaboration Wall
The plans we all make to collaborate with one another are the key building blocks of an Everyone a Changemaker world.
Throughout our time at the Changemaker’s Campus, participants are encouraged to capture your intentions to work
together on «bricks» (for individuals) and «cornerstones» (for group initiatives). These will be collected and mapped on
the Collaboration Wall, to form an evolving picture of what we have accomplished and intend to accomplish together.
Visit the Collaboration Wall to add & group your own bricks, and to see what other kind of activity is emerging around
issues you’re passionate about, especially as you decide which Building Together working groups to join on Wednesday
afternoon.

Why Changemaker Skills?
The Building Changemaker Skills track opens up with an
introduction to the key learned skills for the 21st century
and the evolution of the world from left brain to right
brain. It explores why society cannot survive without
these key skills and how they contribute to building a
world where all citizens have the confi dence and societal
support to drive change.
Towards New Partnerships for Social
Change Blondeau
Participants will learn about some of the most leveraged
alliances for social change, with a focus on Hybrid Value
Chains. Specifi cally, what does this higher goal imply for
social - business partnership into the future? How is it a
win-win for all?
A Changemaker’s Economy
206
Tent
The opening session to the Changemaker’s Economy
track will explore the types of infrastructure - such as fi -
nancial, technological, legal, and information-based - that
are necessary for large-scale social change and innovation.
How can we further develop these infrastructures
and how do they contribute to an Everyone a Changemaker
world?
15

Tuesday / 15h30 - 17h
EXPLORING PATHWAYS
Why Empathy?
16
305
Empathy is often relegated to particular groups of society—family,
friends, religious communities. In professional
life, it is rarely valued above reason and so-called
“hard skills”. But this is changing. A world defi ned by
social change requires people to have different skills than
before. Why does the skill of empathy matter? Can it be
learned? Entrepreneurs and other leaders explore the
essential role of empathy in solving problems and leading
change.
Talent in the 21st Century
Employers are realizing that if they want to remain
competitive they will need to attract and retain top
talent, and the skills that will be required are changemaker
skills. Meanwhile, the Millennials seek careers that
have meaning and employers that help them to fl ourish
as agents of change. What will the new paradigm look
like? Hear from some of the new 21st Century recruiters.
Skills for Intrapreneuring
Hear from a group of intrapreneurs who are driving
major change within their corporations and organizations.
Participants will examine the type of enabling
environment that supports intrapreneuring and better
understand why intrapreneuring is a critical component
of social change.
Changemaking Storytelling
307
302
304
Effective presentation of your story and vision is a critical
tool at the disposal of changemakers towards inspiring
others to join you. In this session, changemakers will
receive presentation tips and practice exercises, identify
the parts of their own life stories that are most valuable
to share, and learn how to best share them. Throughout
the Changemakers’ Campus, you will then have chances
to tell and improve your story of change.

EXPLORING PATHWAYS
Equal Opportunities in France’s
Education System 303
In education systems in France, silos between the various
education actors results in unequal opportunities. How
can we build alliances between social entrepreneurs,
companies, and the education sector (in particular the
ones with innovative youth initiatives) to make equal opportunities
in education a reality for all? Ultimately, how
can we build confi dence in youth, while developing their
knowledge about interculturalism, non-violent communication,
solidarity, empathy, company spirit, etc.
Session lead by IMS.
New Mindsets for Corporate
Collaboration 205
Join a discussion on the barriers presented by traditional
business models and the opportunities that arise when
corporations and citizen sector organizations enter into
new partnerships. With a focus on the role of corporations
in hybrid value chains (HVC), top business leaders
will share their “hopes and fears” – as well as best practices
– about entering into this new type of partnership.
Social-Business Partnership in the
Global North 020
Social-business partnership is an increasingly recognized
strategy for servicing base of the pyramid (BOP) populations
in the Global South; however, there are many
successful - but little known - applications in Northern
countries. Participants will learn about the state of BOP
populations in Europe and how social entrepreneurs
and corporations are using market mechanisms to best
reach them.
Led by IMS.

Tuesday / 15h30 - 17h
EXPLORING PATHWAYS
Building Partnerships between Social
Entrepreneurs and Philanthropists
201
What are enablers for social entrepreneurs and philanthropists
to enter into mutually benefi cial alliances?
By juxtaposing their needs and offerings, this session will
focus on the value proposition that philanthropists offer
to social entrepreneurs - besides funding. Both sides will
leave with a better understanding of how to search and
select one another to create engaging and long-lasting
partnerships.
Led by UBS.
Understanding the Power of
Changemaker Networks 203
Join a discussion on the unique nature of networks that
are woven by social entrepreneurs. Through the lens of
Ashoka’s experience, participants will learn about how
changemakers are using and nurturing effective networks
to contribute to achieving wide-scale change. Small group
brainstorming will invite participants to apply those learnings
to case studies of specifi c changemaker networks
under development.
Alliances for Sustainable Agricultural
Solutions 206
The widespread usage of slash and burn agricultural
techniques is leading to the devastation of the World’s
tropical forests. However, sustainable alternative solutions
are surfacing. Learn about one such solution in a
fi lm screening of «Up in Smoke», followed by an intimate
discussion with the protagonist Mike Hands, founder of
the Inga Foundation. How was he able to foster the local
alliances to spread these methods and to spearhead a
new Green Revolution amongst subsistence farmers?
Through group discussion, participants will discuss best
practices for introducing new agricultural techniques
into deply-rooted, but failing, practices.
Leveraging Public Policy for Social
Change 022
Many leading social entrepreneurs focus on changing or
shaping public policy as a way to increase the impact of
their work. How can social entrepreneurs more effectively
work with governments to spread and scale their
ideas? How can governments learn from social entrepreneurs
to get better results? What can governments
do to create a policy climate that will better support
innovation and impact? Hear from social entrepreneurs,
experts, and policy leaders themselves about how to
more effectively use policy to drive social change.

legal, governance, strategic, and fi nancial challenges of
making a social investment, as well as connect with some
of the best resources available.
Led by UBS.
Legal Resources for Social
Entrepreneurship 033
Tuesday / 15h30 - 17h
025
How do we attain full information citizenship -- a world
in which everyone can get, share, and use the information
they need to participate fully in society? We’ll examine
emerging challenges to information freedom, access, and
quality. We’ll hear from social entrepreneurs whose innovations
defend and advance those historical values. And
together, we’ll map key trends that inform the future of
news and knowledge.
The Changing Landscape of Social
Finance 037
Participants will gain an overview of the fi nancial instruments

From their personal experience using these
tools, social entrepreneurs will analyze the risks and
challenges associated with the different fi nancing options
and how to best match them to diverse business models.
036
The acceleration of social entrepreneurship is dependent
on an enabling legal environment that supports a rapidly
changing world, and the new ideas that are driving this
change. What are the major needs of social entrepreneurs
in the legal realm, and how are social entrepreneurs
connecting with some of the best legal resources
and tools available? Hear from legal experts and the social
entrepreneurs that they are connecting with.

that social entrepreneurs face - depending on their fi eld
of work or model - and will identify some of the major
steps social entrepreneurs need to take in order to scale
their work.

HOW YOUTH ARE CHANGING THE WORLD
Half of the world’s population is under 25 years old and
every day these young people are proving that they are
real changemakers. For a perfect illustration of the famous
Ashoka credo «everyone can be a changemaker»,
come listen to three revolutionary projects led by young
social entrepreneurs. They have developed unique solutions
that reverse existing systems and answer to social
and environmental needs. This plenary conference is an
opportunity to share with them and be inspired.
11h - 12h30
MAPPING THE FUTURE
Learning for Change
In today’s rapidly changing world, social entrepreneurs

MAPPING THE FUTURE
Tapping into the Feminine to Achieve
Sustainability 304
The nurturing traits that are found in the feminine side
of every human being hold the kind of re-balancing energy
and resilience that people need in the face of global
change. How does an increasing awareness of the value
of humanity’s feminine energies contribute to building an
“everyone a changemaker” world? This session will explore
the key skills that are needed to help more changemakers
tap into the power of the feminine effectively.
Men are welcome!
Markets at the Base of the Pyramid
205
This session will showcase on-the-ground applications
of Hybrid Value Chains to demonstrate the relevancy of
this social-business strategy in the Global South. Through

participants will better understand the business models
that are emerging to successfully serve base-of-the-pyramid
populations and beyond.
SMEs and High Value Collaboration

players. But what is their role in social change ? We’ll
analyze perceptions and expectations from French SMEs
regarding partnerships with associations and social entrepreneurs.
In addition, three CEOs of French SMEs will
share their experience about their contribution to social
progress by highlighting their ability to have impact, while
remaining competitive.

used for co-working. Participants will learn about the different
organizational structures and fi nancing schemes.
They will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each
model, and will identify key learnings that can strengthen
co-working for social change.
Breaking Silos to Innovate
The citizen sector is a laboratory of social change,
whether dealing with social, health, research-based,
cultural, or environmental issues. Social entrepreneurs
are born from this laboratory, anxious to break social
and economic silos. It is also from this terrain that multidisciplinary
solutions emerge, which the Foundation
of France believes are the most innovative and able to
resolve increasingly complex issues. In order to facilitate
a global approach to solutions that are anchored locally,
we must bridge social and economic spheres; we must
bridge the specialists of exclusion and culture, of health
and environment, of research and welfare, and of the
public and private sectors.
Session led by Fondation de France.

MAPPING THE FUTURE
How Social Finance Helps and Hinders:
Lessons for the Future 037
Has the hype of social fi nance overcome the better judgment
of social entrepreneurs? In an open forum, entrepreneurs
and investors will discuss their experiences
receiving and giving capital, and how it has helped or
hindered the social impact of organizations. Looking
towards the future, participants will uncover important
lessons for using social fi nance to generate large-scale
social impact.
Banks for a Better World, Part I
Imagine if we had a way to value wealth not just in return
on investment, money, cash fl ow, and balance sheets, but
in the worth we bring to society. Imagine if our fi nancial
systems were able to provide a platform to transact with
different kinds of value: social benefi t, reputation, ecological
footprint, etc. Together with several inspiring speakers,
we will create a vision of Banks for a Better World.
Be part of this change by joining us for a highly interactive
dialogue to scope this vision and make it a reality.
Led by SWIFT.
Measuring Social Impact
030
033
In order to attract investors and funders, but also for
management and reporting purposes, social entrepreneurs
must be able to measure and communicate their
social impact. Why is it so diffi cult to assess the value a
social entrepreneur creates? How do we measure social
impact now and how should we do it in the future? This
session will showcase existing best practices and methodologies
while addressing the challenge of social impact
measurement.
Rethinking Events for Social Change
032
This session will look at the cutting edge approaches to
designing dynamic face-to-face changemaker gatherings
that are helping to catalyze cross-sector dialogue and
collaboration in the global social change space.
25

Wednesday / 11h - 12h30
MAPPING THE FUTURE
Embedding Entrepreneurs into a Public
Sector Agenda (by invitation only)
036
Through a facilitated exercise, experts will develop a
blueprint for action that consists of pathways and principles
for scaling the impact of social entrepreneurs
though government and multilateral channels. Using the
2010 G-20 SME Finance Challenge as a starting point
(which led to half a billion dollars in funding for its winners),
we will identify new possibilities for investments
by the public sector into social entrepreneurs, with a
focus on the areas of nutrition and health.
Led by Ashoka’s Changemakers.
Social Footprint
The recent economic crisis has made it unthinkable to
continue to do “business as usual”. It is now imperative
to adopt to a long-term approach when devising a company’s
value creation. To do so, we must place the focus
back on the individual and rethink the economic performance
of a company through considering its social
footprint.
Session led by Le Collectif.

every child to master empathy. We will focus on how
to collaboratively transform schools and other youthoriented
institutions in Europe.
Build Your Own Talent Tool
In the fi nal session on Talent in the 21st Century, participants
will work together to identify practices that can

and strategic expertise as we answer the question of
how social entrepreneurs can achieve the full market
potential of their ideas.
Led by Ashoka Globalizer.
Building Next Practices for Impact
(By invitation) 025
To unleash the full transformative potential of social entrepreneurship
in the 21st century, philanthropy needs
to do four things: be more ambitious about the scale of
impact desired, invest in innovation and learning, adapt
faster to what works and what does not, and invest over
longer time periods. We need “next practices” to get us
there. Learn about the Impact Pledge, and join a co-creation
to advance the social sector’s readiness in the face
of complex challenges.
Led by the Impact Pledge team.
Banks for a Better World, Part II
As follow-up to the morning’s banking session, this
workshop will provide a participatory platform for diving

THE BIRTH OF THE CLUSTERS
When the Ashoka Changemakers’ Week was under design, our main objective was to create an ecosystem
prone to new collaborations, especially between social entrepreneurs, public, and private actors.
At Ashoka, we consider that - whatever the area - concrete solutions do exist, but that they often lack support
in order to scale-up and maximize impact.
Since a two-day long event is extremely brief to be able to solidify new partnerships, we decided to prepare
collaborations in advance by identifying 11 pressing social issues that will defi ne the future of Europe.
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER…
For each issue, a cluster leader (generally an Ashoka Fellow) has helped us to identify the major stakes to
tackle as well as the participants to gather around the table.
We thus invited social entrepreneurs, public actors, representatives of private corporations or foundations,
expert, and journalists to the clusters. For each topic area, we brought together 20 to 40 people from around
the world ready to work on concrete action plans and possible solutions with other stakeholders.
We also received the support from Hystra and McKinsey consulting teams, as well as HEC students, in
developing a working paper on the defi ned topics. This document, which synthesizes the stakes, barriers, and
possible solutions for each topic, was sent to the cluster participants in advance to set a foundation for our
discussion on Monday, June 21st.
34

It happened yesterday…
Before anything else, the objective was to get to know each other! In most of the cases, the clusters participants
came from different countries and had never met before. After a fi rst ice-breaking session, the participants
dived into conversation about the working papers they previously received.
Later on, in break-out working groups moderated by external facilitators and Ashoka staff, participants tackled
in detail each possible collaboration lead that was forecasted in the document. At the end of the day, we collected
different hybrid solutions, concrete propositions, and multiple collaboration “bricks”.
Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22: Join them!
If you’re interested in the cluster topics and would like to bring your own expertise to the discussion, you are
welcome to do so!
A restitution session will take place at lunchtime on Tuesday, June 21st.
Each cluster leader will present the main achievements and collaborations formed from the day before. Cluster
participants will be delighted to receive your comments or suggestions, and why not start new partnerships
yourself!
In the Changemakers’ Village, a networking space is dedicated to each cluster during Tuesday afternoon and
all day Wednesday.
Finally, during Wednesday at lunchtime, the cluster leaders will present the collaboration bricks collected
during the three days in order to build the collaboration wall together as an output of the Ashoka Changemakers’
Campus!
And after?
Obviously, the objective is not to end here. For each cluster, we plan to follow up on the refl exion beyond the
event and Ashoka will work along and support the different collaborations to make them a reality and bring
more social change to Europe!
35

Equal opportunities in corporations: a key for growth and social cohesion
Cluster leader: Saïd Hammouche. Cluster Language: French
Integrating diversity is a key opportunity for European economies in years to come: by refl ecting the different components
of society in their marketing, procurement and HR strategies, corporations increase their ability to innovate, enter
new markets, improve their competitiveness, retain their staff, and adapt to a changing world.
However, a lack of awareness, the absence of clear incentives, and the challenge to transform internal processes explain
that companies still fail to offer equal opportunities to diverse groups and to lift discriminations due to gender, disabilities,
age, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds, sexual orientation, etc.
This cluster explores existing solutions and best practices developed by social entrepreneurs and practitioners who
work with companies to effectively position their performance, improve their processes, and embrace diversity as a
true opportunity. With leading experts, HR, marketing and procurement managers, we will adopt a unifi ed approach
that combines effective solutions into a unique framework. We will promote this framework to accelerate change in the
corporate sector.
CLUSTER PARTICIPANTS:
Fellows include: Abdellah Aboulharjan, Rafael Alvarez, Majid El Jarroudi etc.
Companies include: SFR, Cap Gemini, Addecco, Crédit Mutuel, L’Oréal, Accenture, etc.
Development of Innovative Learning Ecosystems in Europe
Cluster leader: François Taddei. Cluster Language: English
There are both individual and societal benefi ts to learning. Learning is linked to higher wages, personal fulfi lment, better
health, and longer lives. It builds awareness, reduces crime, empowers individuals and communities, and allows society
to adapt to a changing world.
Traditional education systems, despite the essential role they play in learning, are not capable of serving alone the world’s
growing and changing needs. Advanced education systems still fail too many people; they often reproduce inequality, and
they are not adapting fast enough to allow learners to face 21st century challenges confi dently.
People need to learn throughout their lives. To be “knowledgeable” will no longer be good enough. Learning must
increasingly focus on 21st century skills such as empathy, collaboration, critical thinking, learning to learn, and creative
problem solving. We need to build communities of connected creative learners and those responsible for guiding learning
need to move beyond their comfort zones and innovate in order to anticipate the needs of learners in a rapidly
changing world.
We need to invent new learning ecosystems and foster truly open and collaborative partnerships between the public,
private, and non-profi t sectors. This is the objective of this cluster. Disruptive innovations are necessary; they will come
from extreme environments, from the rise of new technologies, the progress of research, and the dynamisms of social
entrepreneurs. We need to identify them, encourage the emergence of new ones, promote them, scale them and, integrate
them into innovative learning ecosystems.

‘VisABILITY’ (Visibility for Disability) / ‘Out of the Dark & Into the Light’
Cluster leader: Caroline Casey. Cluster Language: English
Central Goal: To identify a creative vehicle with ONE clear message that will make disability more visible on the global
agenda.
36

Barriers: The issue of disability is still largely invisible. In places of leadership and infl uence, disability is absent. People
with disabilities are among the most under-educated, unemployed, and undervalued segments of our world’s population.
They are also often among the most excluded, alienated, and discriminated people in the world.
Solution: We have brought together a multi stakeholder group made up of some of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs
in the disability space - as well as corporate and media players, policy makers, and creative people - to identify a
highly engaging and accessible strategy to make disability and its interconnections to other issues visABLE.
We are considering how the media, social sector leaders, corporate leaders, and policy makers can work together to
make the value, contribution, and ability of this global community of 1 billion visABLE. This in turn will enable us multiply
the amount of fi nance invested in our sector and attract the necessary support of key infl uencers and decision makers,
while creating opportunities for future leadership positions for people with disabilities. It is when we don’t talk about
things that they become a problem. Together, we will develop one clear message to begin a global conversation that
transcends all disabilities and borders and makes us all of us visABLE.

Aging Population – From Care to Empowerment
Cluster leader: Rainer Hoell. Cluster language: English
Europe is getting older. By 2025, 20 percent of all Europeans will be over 65 years old, up from 16 percent today. Across
the continent, the working-age population will stagnate or shrink, while the number of retirees will explode. This change
will drastically impact all societies in Europe. It’s not just a fact, but also a societal challenge to be transformed into an
opportunity for Europe. A real prevention policy needs to be implemented.
Instead of taking up common debates on the economic, fi scal, and political challenges of the demographic shift, this cluster
will focus on the human potential of seniors: Many retiring seniors in Europe are vivid and energetic. They can and
would love to lead a life of social engagement and physical activity after retiring. Helping them to use this potential is a
key factor for overcoming social challenges and offering lives in dignity for seniors of all ages.
Currently, most of this huge potential is lost: Seniors still carry a social stigma as being infl exible and powerless. Many
existing public services are divided according to target groups and do not encourage (or they even forbid) truly multigenerational
approaches. Preventive programs for age-related diseases are underfi nanced. Public and private actors often
urge seniors to be socially engaged, but without truly motivating and empowering them through an appropriate culture
of appreciation.
Ashoka Fellows are experts for employing unused potential. They do not just answer society needs, but co-produce their
solutions with their benefi ciaries. In this cluster, we bring together outstanding Ashoka Fellows that give older citizens an
active role as co-producers of a solution. We explore ways to expand their solutions, learn from them, integrate their key
success factors in demographic policies across Europe – and debate how we can together extend the social paradigm
from caring for the older generation, to empowering it.

Fellows include: Jean-Michel Ricard, Hildegard Schooß, Wolfgang Gründiger, Mary Nally, etc.

Youth Changemaking – turning potential into action
Cluster leader: Marie Trellu-Kane. Cluster language: English
In the past decade, changes in the economic environment and in social values have contributed to a myriad set of pressures
on youth worldwide. Poorly-paid positions, double-digit unemployment, social exclusion, and low self-esteem are
the rule rather than the exception for many youth.
Young people in particular will need to engage more and more in the development of their environment, co-manage
existing social initiatives, and take initiative to resolve problems that directly affect them. Fostering these talents begins
37

y engaging youth in the notion of Changemaking - the thoughtful and deliberate act of improving one’s community by
co-creating positive change.
An overwhelming majority of youth across Europe is willing to contribute and actively shape their direct environment.
Still most youth stay passive since it requires a broad set of skills and outstanding self-esteem to step up and take responsibility.
Additionally, many young Changemakers face many different barriers for their aspirations and feel limited in
their impact. Unfortunately society tends not to be supportive for youth in this process. Instead of empowering successful
young Changemakers and creating positive role models, they are often made to believe that they still are more part
of the problem then a valuable resource for the solution.
The upcoming generation can be a generation of Changemakers if we talk with and not about youth, if we give them
opportunities, resources, and trust in their abilities. Civic participation cannot be managed in a top-down manner, but
needs to evolve in an entrepreneurial and self-determined way.
Becoming a Changemaker can be as cool, as easy, and as natural as playing soccer or making music. Imagine: youth that
get engaged in society get the support and recognition they deserve. Imagine: organizations stop competing for the few
active youth, and instead join forces to help passive ones become Changemakers. This Cluster will identify the patterns
of success, turning schools, organizations, or even cities into supporting eco-systems that make it easier and more fun
for youth to actually shape their future society.

Civic Agriculture in Europe: Securing land, Channelling money
Cluster leader: Jérôme Deconinck. Language: English
Since the 1950s, intensive, specialised agriculture has been promoted as the only way to ensure European (and world)
food security. It is now largely undermined as a result of major public health crises, damaging environmental consequences,
and negative impacts on the income and lives of farmers.
Throughout Europe, ‘traditional’ forms of peasant and family farming, as well as new citizen initiatives, concur in promoting
civic agriculture (defi ned as an agriculture which protects the environment, provides quality food, relies on short
supply chains, nurtures rural economy and social vitality, and is economically sustainable.)
But the development of these forms of civic agriculture is hampered by major obstacles, in particular the diffi culty to
fi nd land and money to start up or maintain their activity. The latter is mostly due to the fact that European societies
are increasingly urban and disconnected from rural areas and food production; as well as due to the fact that intensive
agriculture remains the cultural model of reference and shapes the agricultural and agro-food sector.
The cluster will examine ways to improve upstream factors to unlock the potential of civic agriculture. Based on pathbreaking
initiatives from several Ashoka Fellows and social entrepreneurs, it will specifi cally focus on innovative schemes
securing land or channelling money to make space for these forms of agriculture.

Sustainable, affordable and healthy food for all: an illusion?
Cluster leader: Guillaume Bapst. Cluster language: French
Access to sustainable, affordable and healthy food is a very broad and far reaching issue with health and environmental
implications. In developed countries, the main problem is malnutrition with an estimated 50 percent of the total
EU population concerned by overweight and obesity, and another 19 million people under-nourished. Regarding the
overweight and obese population, the most obvious barrier is the lack of awareness about the need for and access
to nutritious food. However, the fact that this population often struggles with several handicaps such as living in areas
underserved in healthy food, lack of cooking knowledge, or limited food budget, makes it even more diffi cult to improve
food consumption behaviors.
38

Potential solutions could include making households more aware of the nutritious qualities of food choices and the
consequences of food on health and the environment. This also raises the question of the target and scale of awareness
campaigns in order to offer healthy alternatives. Another solution could be to incentivize the establishment of retailers
and producers in under-served areas or for low-income populations. The objectives of the cluster are to identify sustainable
solutions developed by social entrepreneurs, and to look at how their innovations can be scaled up and replicated
to increase accessibility to sustainable and healthy food.
CLUSTER PARTICIPANTS:
Fellows include: Yvonnick Huet, Michel Nischan, Kristin Richmond, Kirsten Tobey, Vera Perino, Tobias Leenaert,…
Companies include: Sodexo, Danone, Edenred,…
Solutions to address fuel poverty
Cluster leader: Damien Desjonquères (Total). Cluster language: French
In Europe, an estimated 50-125 million people (7-17 percent of the total population), also known as fuel poor, are
incapable of meeting their heating needs without cutting down on essential needs. The population affected has been
increasing rapidly, given rising energy prices and corresponding fuel bills. The current price increase adds up to two
structural obstacles: the limited investment capacity from households in energy effi cient technology, and/or consumption
monitoring and management systems, and the lack of awareness of consumers regarding consumption practices. In addition
to this, the diffi culty to develop successful fuel poverty programs linked to the question of the fuel poor identifi cation
is another obstacle. Under response to this reality, the objectives of the cluster are to identify sustainable solutions
developed by social entrepreneurs, in Europe, and look at how their innovations can be scaled up and replicated.
CLUSTER PARTICIPANTS:
Fellows include: Johannes Hengstenberg , Grégory Gendre, Pavel Cincera, Gilles Reydellet etc.

Women’s Empowerment - The WE Alliance
Cluster leader: Christina Jordan. Cluster language: English
Over the past three decades, tremendous strides have been made in illuminating the importance of addressing gender
equality and women’s empowerment in local, national and global development. The evidence is overwhelmingly clear:
no society can achieve its full development potential when half of the population faces persistent socio-cultural barriers
to accessing the opportunities that development brings.
However, even despite increased global awareness of the critical roles that women play in development, no country in
the world has yet managed to eliminate the gender gap. Women work two-thirds of the world’s working hours, produce
half of the world’s food, yet earn only 10 percent of the world’s income and own less than one percent of the world’s
property. Less than 16 percent of the world’s parliamentarians are women, two thirds of all children shut outside the
school gates are girls and, both in times of armed confl ict and behind closed doors at home, women are still systematically
subjected to violence. (1)
All eight of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for 2015 touch essential aspects of women’s well-being.
Solid evidence also shows that progress around gender equality in one goal often contributes towards progress on
a number of other development goals at the same time. Empowering women with education, for example, results in
signifi cant contributions to a nation’s economic growth, as well as to reduced malnutrition, fertility, and child mortality.
In order to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs, cross-dimensional and innovative approaches for enhancing
women’s empowerment are urgently needed. The WE Alliance is a response to that need, proposing a coordinated approach
to encouraging meaningful and far-reaching cross-silo collaboration between some of the world’s most effective
initiatives and innovators in the women’s empowerment space.

Employment through Empowerment Cluster leader: Norbert Kunz. Cluster language: English
How can we enable people excluded from the labor market to live up to their full productive potential?
In 2010, unemployment in the Euro zone hit 10 percent. One in three Europeans of working age has few or no formal
qualifi cations, making them 40 percent less likely to be employed than those with medium-level qualifi cations, according
to fi gures compiled by an expert group. While economic centers come off comparatively well, many rural areas run
danger of falling completely behind and becoming unable to offer any economic opportunities to their inhabitants, at all.
Rather than trying to compose a complex analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of specifi c labor markets, or taking
up common debates on the defi cits and personal burdens unemployed must overcome in order to become employable,
this cluster will focus on innovative solutions that empower people of all ages and backgrounds to live up to their full
productive potential.
To date, people out of work are regarded as people with certain defi cits who will fi nd work only when they learn specifi c
skills and get engaged. This archaic point of view explains the low success rates of many traditional integration models
on the market. In many regions, these models are doomed to fail anyways as there are simply no jobs where people can
be placed.
Leading social entrepreneurs understand how to leverage and employ so far unused potential. Instead of applying standardized
“one size fi ts all” methods to all their “clients”, they enable people to be part of their own individual solutions.
In this cluster, outstanding Ashoka Fellows whose work aims to give people outside the labor market an active role
as co-producers of their solutions explore ways to expand their solutions, learn from each other, integrate their key
success factors in employment policies across Europe – and together with experts from policy and economy realms -
discuss how they can extend the social paradigm from training defi cient non-workers to empowering them.

For a new housing value chain Cluster leader: François Marty. Cluster language: French
Housing is at the crossroads of many issues: environmental with the question of home energy effi ciency, economic
particularly in the context of scarce raw materials, demographic with housing options increasingly inappropriate for the
population they address, but also health and social cohesion, both strongly linked to housing.
However, current models have reached their limits in their capacity to design and build housing successfully and to
involve inhabitants to become active homeowners.
Recently, many initiatives have been undertaken to tackle these barriers by social entrepreneurs, experts, private companies,
and public authorities, some of whom have joined this cluster.
This working session aims at developing a new vision of the housing value chain and identifying the obstacles to overcome
the barriers, in order to allow innovations and new practices to scale up through all possible partnerships.

Fellows include: Stuart Cohen, Rosanne Haggerty, Tomasz Sadowski, Raul Robert, Arnaud Castagnède, etc.
