Changemaking skill: the new skill for the new era
The Youth Venture is a program to nurture "changemaking" skills among individuals under the age of 20 years old. We at Ashoka believe that changemaking must be developed as a new skill that is indispensable to thrive in the volatile and unpredictable era that we face today.
And beyond Ashoka, we find that there is increasing consensus that human technical prowess will not resist eventual replacement by faster and better non-human technologies. As such, our Youth Venture program is a direct acknowledgment and confrontation of these future consequences, and our program is built upon the single most powerful human force that we believe no technology can ever replace: Empathy.
Our Youth Venture program was founded twenty years ago and initially did not achieve much traction; today, however, our program is increasingly recognized as a vital tool with which to systematically and progressively address the uncertainty that lies ahead.
Warm regards,
Ashoka Japan team
