Ashoka-Robert Bosch Stiftung ChangemakerXchange (CXC) Program Armenia 2019

Ashoka-Robert Bosch Stiftung ChangemakerXchange (CXC) Summit Armenia 2019 (Funded)

Co-created by Ashoka and Robert Bosch Stiftung, ChangemakerXchange is a global collaborative community for young changemakers to connect, share and develop cross-border collaborations.

This special edition in Armenia, co-hosted with Ecolab Foundation, is for young social innovators working on ‘Placemaking’. This could be urban or rural regeneration and the creative use of public/community spaces.

Cost

ChangemakerXchange covers your travel costs to/from the venue as well as all of the conference costs for all four nights and five days (including hotel accommodation, inner city travel, food, entrance fees, etc.). However they expect you to cover your own visas, local travel to airport in your own country and from the airport to the venue in the host country (in very limited cases they may be able to support with some of these costs, please reach out to them);
They also request a small application contribution of 15 USD (making exceptions for those who are unable to contribute) to cover the costs of thoroughly reviewing a large number of applications.
