Ashoka - Empathy Leader - Indonesia
Description
Everyone A Changemaker
Empathy Movement Leader, Indonesia/ SE Asia
Ashoka is on an audacious mission – to create a world where everyone is a changemaker i.e. a
world where everyone has the agency and skills to make a posiꢀve change in their families,
communiꢀes, and at work. Empathy skills (which can be learned and improved) are foundaꢀonal
to building an Everyone A Changemaker movement.
Historic Moment
All of us are facing a historic moment. For generaꢀons, society has followed a siloed, hierarchical
approach to solving challenges and has been defined by repeꢀꢀve efficiency (think assembly line).
But this approach is falling short when it comes to the number and complexity of the shared
problems we now face. So a new game is taking shape – one where change is the norm, and
where the most open, fluid systems and teams thrive. In this game the rules are different (in fact
they are sꢀll being created!) but one is paramount: everyone can and must be able to play, and to
drive posiꢀve change. This is the ‘Everyone A Changemaker’ vision that Ashoka is working toward
and it is our best hope for building a world where problems no longer outrun soluꢀons.
Ashoka is unleashing demand for empathy as a 21st century skill. Our Global Empathy Iniꢀaꢀve
and our Everyone A Changemaker collaboraꢀons have mobilized a powerful group of social
entrepreneurs (Ashoka Fellows), schools (Ashoka Changemaker Schools), media thought leaders,
and other partners to drive a fundamental shiꢁ in children’s educaꢀon and youth years.
