Changemakers New Zealand

about

we support

ChangeMakers is a strategy for awakening more active citizenship and generosity in New Zealand.

It supports its participants to make their best contributions in creating an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just world.

Changemakers evenings are an opportunity for us to explore a diversity of ideas that just might make a practical difference.

Participants are encouraged to grow the skills of inquiry and dialogue ... and to support one another in their active work for change.

Changemakers participants follow a “5-10-5-10” framework of active citizenship.

5 - spend 5% of your time on active citizenship tasks

10 - do ten actions in the next year on your personal passion for making a practical difference

5 - spend 5% of your income directly supporting the citizenship actions that inspire you

10 - join with ten other people to create a learning community to support each other’s work for change

Changemakers groups were started in Taranaki in 2006, and are now run in several areas around New Zealand.
