Ashoka's activities in Switzerland
Through Ashoka's presence in more than 90 countries, we are building and amplifying this global movement through three areas of activity. Discover who we are here.
See below the programs that are active in Switzerland, for programs active in other countries check the bottom of the page.
1. Identify and support the world's leading social entrepreneurs
We find and cultivate social entrepreneurs in every corner of the world, whose system-changing innovations solve deep-rooted social problems.
2. Accelerate the "Everyone a Changemaker" world
We mobilize a network of individuals and organizations, and build collective capacity to address global challenges by unlocking their potential to act as changemakers. We partner with a range of stakeholders: foundations, universities, corporations, civil society organizations, media and other.
3. Equip everyone to be a changemaker
We inspire and enable changemaking in the public-at-large, and work to give all individuals the confidence and tools to solve problems for the good of all.
