In addition to being a global community of changemakers, we also serve as a laboratory for innovative and participatory facilitation methodologies and practices. Over the years, we have built a global network of 100 impact-driven facilitators, all recruited from within the ChangemakerXchange community. These facilitators are both changemakers and skilled experts, trained in both offline and online facilitation, and are based in cities around the world. They are ready to lead anything from 2-hour digital conversations to five-day retreats.
While their expertise spans various areas, their key strengths lie in fostering deeper human connections, promoting wellbeing, and enabling peer-to-peer learning and tangible collaborations.
What We Value Most in Facilitation
All ChangemakerXchange facilitators are not only skilled facilitators but also active changemakers with their own ventures. Their direct experience in creating positive social impact uniquely equips them to support others on a similar journey.
We see ourselves as facilitators rather than trainers. Our main role is to harness the collective intelligence of the group and create safe, brave, and empowering spaces where human creativity can thrive.
We design accessible and inclusive agendas that cater to all learning styles—logical, kinesthetic, verbal, aural, and visual—as well as different personality types, both intrapersonal and interpersonal.
