As the new enkel mission is "to build a new generation of changemakers", we've discussed how to actually define a changemaker. There are so many types of changemakers, and we need to come up with a definition that we can all agree on.
Ashoka, a global organisation that identifies and invests in leading social entrepreneurs, defines a changemaker as "one who desires change in the world and, by gathering knowledge and resources, makes that change happen."
We thought "positive" should be added in front of change.
Thoughts on this?

You have a wonderfully wicked way with words Levi. I like go the first one.

Nice work Nathan... I really like that definition. I would only change to "... collaborating courageously and creatively with the community" just so we don't use the word "with" twice so close together. You could flip it the other way too, "... collaborating with the community courageously and creatively" There is some who suggest alliteration makes it more engaging, moving, and memorable :)
