Major societal changes often start small.
Climate change, growing inequality, pressure on public services and economic uncertainty show that existing systems are no longer always adequate. The major challenges of our time call for new ways of working together and organising ourselves. And as open societies renew themselves when people work together to develop new solutions and have the courage to change existing systems.
From citizens’ initiatives and social enterprises to public authorities and investors: Changemakers explores how people and organisations drive societal change. The community develops and tests new ways of collaborating, organising and investing that contribute to a sustainable and just society.
The community is part of Utrecht University's research theme Institutions for Open Societies.
