About Generation Changemaker
Generation Changemaker is the University's co-curricular programme with a focus on sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship for incoming study abroad students.
Is Generation Changemaker for me?
If you get excited about exploring creative solutions to global problems and working with your peers to take meaningful action, while immersing yourself in a new culture and country, then Generation Changemaker is for you!
Drawing on human-centered design techniques, our evening workshops will focus on how individuals can take action, and find solutions to sustainability issues that matter most to us.
These workshops are designed to ignite the entrepreneur within you. You’ll come up with solutions to some of the biggest environmental, social, and cultural issues of our time – based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. You’ll get to be a part of an entrepreneurially-minded community who is interested in making a difference.
The Generation Changemaker programme will help students to understand the importance and power of taking action, and will be followed by an opportunity to do just that at our volunteer field trip.
