What is ChangeMakers for ?

Our take on the “What For?” of ChangeMakers was hearteningly congruous:

• to help myself and others to recognise our personal social justice visions

• to get support for my voluntary efforts as a more active citizen

• to support others in their choices in working for the common good

• a place to float questions about the why, how, who, where and when regarding people’s ideas for social justice

• to deepen my skills and effectiveness in taking initiative for social justice

• recognising that the focus for the change process needs to be on the personal

• discussing and consciousness-raising around the background causes of problems with a view of finding individual solutions

• a place to learn how to work better with others

• a space to listen, think and hear what is being said between the words

• a place to respect individual ideas without aiming to push a particular barrow or try to convince
