Dear Community,

 

In the midst of challenging times, we hope you manage to take care of yourself and your loved ones and connect to your (inner) power as changemakers.

Because particularly in times of crisis or injustice, changemaking is truly needed! We do want to offer some inspirations and upcoming (last-minute) opportunities in this newsletter.

Two highlights:
 

  • New Leadership retreat on Collective Action: 3 last-minute spots for this unique virtual experience. Apply today, join retreat on 24th of June! Find information here.
     
  • ChangemakerConnect: Every youth a changemaker! If you work in the field of youth empowerment or are a young changemaker yourself, join the 3 online sessions, starting on 29th of June and co-create with (other) Ashoka Fellows working on children and youth empowerment! Find information here.
     

Before diving deeper in changemaking opportunities, we feel the urge of giving a statement regarding the #blacklivesmatter-movement across the globe:

Find out more about our Fellows fighting racism, inequality and oppression here and read our open letter to our community on racial justice here!

If you have any questions about the Europe Fellowship program, the statement above or you want to co-lead an initiative with us, please reach out to us!

Take care,
The Ashoka Europe Fellowship Team

Two more opportunities to join and get inspired:

  • June 26, 2020 – Watch and listen to Ashoka Fellow Jos de Blok’s Changemaker Story: How do you organize a holistic and decentralized healthcare system?  
  • July 3, 2020 - Watch and listen to Geert van der Veer's Changemaker Story: How do you create a fairer food system?  

When nothing is certain, anything is...

... possible! Listen to this powerful message from 7 of the most impactful social entrepreneurs from Belgium, our Ashoka Fellows. They urge our political leaders to build a better, cleaner, healthier, fairer, more sustainable, more stable and more ethical future.
We feel strongly aligned with this message delivered by our Fellows: Marjan Gryson, Arnoud Raskin, Tobias Leenaert, Ignace Schops, Geertrui Serneels, Bart Weetjens and Ingrid de Jonghe.
Share this message with your networks! Find Youtube video here and Facebook post here!

Reading and Wellbeing Tips

Reading tip: Why We Need Joy at Work

Our core partner, Steelcase, recently published this wonderful article about why joy at work can make a big difference for our wellbeing! As we are convinced that Wellbeing inspires Welldoing, we believe Wellbeing is a crucial topic for changemakers. Two inspirations for today:

1. Discover the transcript (or listen to the audio) of

“Why We Need Joy at Work”

2. Find out more about Wellbeing resources for changemakers here: The Wellbeing toolkit!
