Change Nation, an initiative of Ashoka Ireland, is a three-day social innovation platform bringing together 50 of the world’s leading social innovators to start working on some of Ireland’s greatest challenges in education, healthcare, environment, economic development, civic participation, and inclusion. Through a series of interactions with Ireland’s established and emerging changemakers across sectors, Ashoka Ireland aims to cultivate demand and strategy for many of these solutions to spread in Ireland–an unprecedented collaborative effort.
Change Nation aims to create employment, mobilise citizens as changemakers, strengthen the management of natural resources, cultivate empathy in children and transform the way young people grow up, improve physical and mental well-being, integrate excluded populations, build alliances between business and social sectors and the necessary infrastructure for social innovation to flourish.
