The Change Maker Programme

This is your community if you already know something needs to change 🌱

This is your space where you build what comes next ☀️

The Change Maker programme is a rolling year-long co-creation community for professionals who bring people together and want to do it differently. A community of 100 people designing the future of human connection from inside their own work.

€120 for 12 months 💛

The shift that is already happening: From event logistics to connection enabler 🌟

The world is in the middle of a loneliness epidemic, AI is changing the logic of every profession, climate accountability is no longer optional and the people who design how humans gather have never had a more important role.

Are you keen to be supported by a community as you explore the challenging questions and purposeful opportunities?

Are YOU a Change Maker? 🌱

How old you are, how much budget, level of experience does not matter.

If you are responsible for connecting people in your work, community, or any field and you are ready to design differently this is a community for YOU

If you want to innovate in areas like measuring human connection and building relational infrastructure this is YOUR global peer group ready to take action and create the future.

The programme structure 📚

Twelve months, three phases and your own work as the living laboratory.

You can join at any point during the year and stay for 12 months. The monthly gatherings are the focus point where new information and insight is shared. During the 12 months you will be supported to move through 3 phases:

Phase one: Question everything! Break apart the assumptions of your current work. Apply new frameworks (doughnut economics, systems thinking, ISO 20121) to real events, organisations and communities.

Phase two: Design YOUR experiment. Test transformation in YOUR actual work. Share what happens with the community.

Phase three: Build momentum and start participating with frameworks and resources that will reach the wider global events community. This work will go beyond the programme year and leave you in a different place from your start point.
