MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Based on the Ashoka method, Changemaking partnerships provide a network for
educators to discuss challenges, strengths, and strategies for supporting diverse learners with culturally responsive inclusive practices.
The Changemaking framework provides educators with a collaborative platform for building empathy and social emotional learning skills amongst themselves and with their learners. Changemaking inspires educators to take a leadership role within their school and community environments and use their energy for positive change. The current projects have teachers working across social, economic, cultural, and political differences to find similar strengths and opportunities for growth at a global scale.
