Ashoka Around the World

A Closer Look at Everyone a

Changemaker™

Ashoka is the world’s leading

organization for social entrepreneurs

and changemaking. The organization was

founded in 1980 in an effort to create a

world where every individual feels

empowered to create positive

systematic change in society. We believe

the most powerful force in the world

are social entrepreneurs, who use

innovative ideas to tackle today’s most

pressing social problems. In the past 30

years,Ashoka has elected 3,000

leading social entrepreneurs

as Ashoka Fellows in over

70 different countries.

Ashoka works with young

people, institutions, companies,

and individuals to multiply the

number of Changemakers in

our world. By working with leaders in all

fields we are able to develop an

ecosystem within society that supports

the change created by our fellows and

also catalyzes new generations of

changemakers. Integrating our

organization and creating programs in

numerous fields has allowed us to

become the largest community for

changemaking in the world. At the heart

of this community are our Ashoka

Fellows who lead and inspire change.

Ashoka defines the impact of our

fellows as the system change that results

from their ideas and networks that we

help them create and support. There

are a number of key areas in the society

that our fellows impact. Current, 54% of

our fellows have changed market

dynamics at a national level within 5

years of being elected. Through

execution of their innovations 57% of

our fellows have also contributed to

changed national policy

within five years of

election. Our fellows are

also successful and

impacting socially excluded

populations with 54% of

them managing to achieve

national impact for marginalized groups

within five years of being

elected.

On top of the impact they create,

Ashoka Fellows are highly independent.

Many achieve business-social

congruence through a for-profit element

of their innovation that provides capital

for their organization. The example that

the fellows set is also infectious. Their

innovations cultivate cultures of

changemaking and open up

opportunities for current and future

generations of changemakers.

Ashoka Greece

Creating a Nation of Changemakers

Social innovation represents a

compelling model contributing to a

better economic and social

development path in Greece. We

believe society will begin transforming

with leading individuals driving change,

an environment that allows them to

flourish and expand their solutions, and

a network of institutions, teams and

alliances across the social and private

sectors that empower and support

citizens and young people to tackle

challenges in their communities.

Ashoka began its launch activities

January 2014, and continues to build a

local and international network of

partners. Ashoka and the Robert

Bosch Stiftung launched a

partnership to support social

entrepreneurship for employment

in Southern Europe, including

Greece. The Hellenic Initiative is a

leading partner in this alliance for

Greece.

Greece: An opportunity for Changemakers

- a letter from the Launch Director

This is a crucial moment in Greece. There are many social and economic

challenges that need solutions, and they are growing faster than existing

institutions can respond or solve them. People are creating new networks

within the citizen sector to launch their own solutions, but also to adopt

new, inclusive processes for addressing needs and solving problems.

Through grassroots initiatives and entrepreneurship, people are proving to

themselves and others that they can take action and transform their

communities.

Greece has an opportunity to create a whole new framework for society.

While individual entrepreneurship and social sector organizations have

been valuable in addressing specific challenges and delivering basic services,

new connections throughout society and a culture of collaborative

changemaking are needed to amplify effective, empathetic and innovative

solutions that create systemic changes in society. Greece needs long-term

solutions that address the root causes of problems, change patterns and

create new alliances in society, and are ready to expand to the national

level.

With investment and support from partners in Greece and Europe, and key

members of the Greek diaspora, Ashoka can play a significant role in helping

build trust around Greek changemakers and accelerating their impact. With

Ashoka’s support, these changemakers will create momentum towards a

Greek society in which every person can take action to build teams and

collaborate to solve social challenges.

Launching Ashoka Greece

The First Six Months

Bring Global Innovations to Greece

Ashoka Greece and the Agricultural University of Athens, with the support of The Hellenic

Initiative and Robert Bosch Stiftung, hosted a gathering March 27 on new models to improve

access to nutritious food for vulnerable populations, featuring Ashoka Fellow Guillaume

Bapst, from France.

In Greece, individuals, families and groups have been affected by the economic recession with

inadequate access to enough food, or enough nutritious fresh food, particularly in urban areas.

Solutions to this issue must address both immediate access and offer new models that create

long-term, mutually beneficial relationships that empower people across the food supply chain

to work together. The gathering included a public panel and an invitation-only stakeholder

discussion on the topic of access to healthy food, with local partners and stakeholders

His national network of social groceries includes200 to date, that aim to distribute food to low incomepopulations with a minor financial participation as"clients" not "beneficiaries". Guillaume was elected asan Ashoka Fellow in 2006.

Ashoka Greece and Ashoka U organized a 2-day

institute on May 20-21 to empower administrators,

faculty, and students from Greek universities to bring

social entrepreneurship to their campuses and create

meaningful programming around social innovation.

During the institute, teams from 8 universities heard

from several Greek and European social

entrepreneurs regarding their social mission and

experiences with social enterprise. Ashoka Fellow

Marie Trellu-Kane shared her experience creating

Unis-Cité, which mobilizes young people aged 16-25

for a 9-month full-time community service program.

Unis-Cité stands for “All United for the Community,”

and is one of its biggest and most innovative NGOs

in France. The success of her initiative convinced the

French government to create the first Civic Service

National Agency in 2010 to scale-up her model and

foster a citizenship spirit among new generations of

young people. The French civilian youth service

legislation will engage 30,000 youth this year.

Marie Trellu – KaneAshoka Fellow, President Unis-Cité (Civic Service)France

Over the last 15 years, Marie has designed a model to make citizen engagement a normal step in young peoples’ lives and has thus created the infrastructure to help them become social changemakers.

As thousands of young people continue to dedicate periods of theirlives full-time to social and environmental organizations, Marie nowpositions her association as a genuine experimental lab dedicated toinvent new ways for youth to commit to society and to create thetools for a new generation of changemakers.

Educators within Ashoka’s global network, from 4 Ashoka U Changemaker Campuses, joined the Institute

both in person and virtually to share best practices for implementing innovative learning programs for

social impact.

Innovation Institute, May 2014

Participants from all universities collectively identify the essential competencies that

undergraduate students need to drive forward the Greek economy and society, and to

succeed in today’s changing world: empathy, creativity, systems-analysis, and resilience.

These skills can by applied by students as they practice social entrepreneurship at increased

levels of sophistication. Empathy can be utilized to understand the needs of others, and the

innovator can act on those needs through direct service (e.g. feeding the hungry, building a

home, etc.). With creativity, the social innovator can scale and grow the direct service idea to

benefit more people (e.g. a network of service provider centers to feed the hungry or match

families to affordable housing).Through systems-analysis, the social innovator can discover

the root cause of the problem (e.g. policy limitations, etc.) to identify levers for systems

change. With resilience, the innovator can test new ideas and adapt to challenges as they

emerge, eventually changing the perception of society to understand a problem or a

population of people differently and to better understand their own role in the solution.

Ashoka has quietly given philanthropy a new dimension: it has shown how to invest successfully in pattern-breaking, powerful

ideas and the people behind them and how to do so early when a little makes an enormous difference.

Nominate a Fellow

We learn of candidates in two main ways: we actively look for them in fields ripe for change, and our community –

you! – continuously alerts us to social entrepreneurs for whom the Ashoka Fellow route may be appropriate.

If you are interested in nominating a social entrepreneur to the Ashoka Fellowship, we welcome any information

about a candidate and their work that you can provide. Ashoka recognizes that it cannot possibly source the

world’s leading social entrepreneurs on its own. Good nominators ensure that Ashoka receives a constant flow of

promising candidates as well as an invaluable perspective on the current innovation in the sector. We depend on

you to guide us to the hidden gems and unrecognized visionaries out there! We thank you in advance. Please also

read through the five Ashoka Fellow Selection Criteria carefully to make sure the nominee fits our understanding of

a leading social entrepreneur.
