Civic Futures: Universities and the work of collective changemaking across-sectors
Host: Ashoka U
This workshop explores how universities become active, trusted ecosystem partners within their communities and broader social impact networks.
Drawing on Ashoka’s extensive experience partnering with universities and across sectors, and catalyzing changemaker skills and trust-based networks, the session will share how changemaking can be embedded across campus culture, systems-level impact measurement, and framework change.
We will share concrete examples of how institutions are extending their impact toward collective, cross-sector efforts for social impact.
Participants will reflect on their own contexts and explore practical ways to embed changemaking and strengthen cross-sector collaboration.
The session will be facilitated by leaders drawing on Ashoka’s long-standing partnership work with universities, youth, and impact measurement, alongside examples from diverse institutional contexts.
