Pocket Stories hosts ChangemakerXchange Paris

A special summit for young social innovators working in rural communities

Rural communities are often forgotten in our globalised and urban world. The increasing migration to urban areas such as Amsterdam, Berlin, and Paris leads to decrease in services, opportunities, and hope in the rural communities across Europe. Pocket Stories wholeheartedly believes that diversity makes us stronger, yet rural voices are often under-represented. We are therefore honoured to be part of facilitating and organising the first ChangemakerXchange (CXC) focusing on positive impact in rural communities. We spent five days at a beautiful French castle with 15 social innovators from across Europe to share our stories and experiences, as well as find new ways to include and strengthen rural communities across borders. ---

Changemakerxchange is global collaboration platform co-created by Ashoka and Robert Bosch Stiftung. This special summit was hosted Bridge for Billions, ImpactAimers, Youthnest, and Pocket Stories.
