Embracing the New Togetherness

At the Ashoka Changemaker Summit, joining together as changemakers from all backgrounds, we discovered a "New Togetherness". Around 300 members of our close community gathered physically in Turin, Italy, on December the 2nd to continue learning and connecting. Sessions were also streamed into our event platform so our global community could participate in this part of the process as well. We showed that the ability to shape the future belongs not to just a few, but to all of us.
