Pocket Stories hosts ChangemakerXchange

A special summit for young social innovators working on Cultural Diversity and Dialogue

"Between words and bullets you find a deafening silence between people who stopped talking to each other". - Maja Nenadović

We just finished hosting the first ChangemakerXchange: Cultural Diversity & Dialogue summit in the Netherlands. 20 intercultural innovators from Europe, Middle East and North Africa came together for six days to #connect, #learn and #collaborate across borders.

This summit was both intense and beautiful. We explored new ways to genuinely connect in a time where we are told that is easier to stay in our in-group than collaborate with those who we perceive are different. Now more than ever, we need dialogue that celebrate diversity across all communities for more inclusive and peaceful future.

The first three days were spent in Amsterdam with the Opening Night at Impact Hub Amsterdam, before spending the next two days at the historical and inspiring Anne Frank House delving into our personal stories, intercultural ventures, and history.

Changemakerxchange is global collaboration platform co-created by Ashoka and Robert Bosch Stiftung. This special summit was hosted Safarni - Intercultural Children's Workshop, Pocket Stories and International Association for Intercultural Education
