Research, Co-Creation and Eco-Systemic Alliance in one

"The Possibilists" is not just a study!
The data we gather is merely the starting point of an ambitious global alliance.

Based on our findings we aim to create source, evaluate, connect and accelerate systemic solutions to improve the conditions for all young changemakers, everywhere.
They are fighting hard every day to make the world a better place. Let's make sure they have all the support they need to succeed!

1) Scientific Research

Together with the Vienna University of Economics and Business and seasoned social scientist Alexandra Ioan, The Possibilists will reveal tangible insights into what young changemakers need to succeed (and what holds them back).

2) Ideas to improve the conditions for "change making"

Following the data analysis, The Possibilists will transform into an open call for applications to source, connect and support ideas which improve things like the access to finance, capacity-building and support for young changemakers.

3) A global eco-system of support for young changemakers

To accelerate the ideas and grow their impact, The Possibilists convenes a global alliance of youth empowerment organisations, philanthropists, foundations and policy makers.

Collaborators

This study is initiated by ChangemakerXchange, and carried out in collaboration with the leading youth social innovator networks globally, with a combined total reach of thousands of young changemakers, activists and startup social entrepreneurs.
