Event Calendar

In the summer of 2020, a selected group of students with various backgrounds and origins will have the opportunity to participate in the Changemaker Bootcamp. The Changemaker Bootcamp is an intensive 10-day life changing summer school, which teaches students how to start making a positive impact on today’s society. Aside from the professional training sessions, several cultural and social activities are an important part of this unique programme.

The goal of this summer school is to inspire participants to come up with a well reflected changemaker action plan by the end of the boot camp. In order to accomplish this, students will participate in innovative sessions on power skills development, systems thinking, wicked entrepreneurship, global citizenship and natural change. All students will work in teams, so teambuilding assignments also make up an important part of this summer programme.

The Changemaker Bootcamp is developed as a real bootcamp, so a team of inspiring coaches and experts from various fields such as Business, Social Work and Education will provide intensive training. This year the 1st edition will be organised.
