Journeys for Change helps exceptional leaders create greater impact in the world. We do this by taking them to learn about innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership from some of the world’s most inspiring social entrepreneurs.

Our February 2010 social entrepreneurship journey will immerse participants in a once-in-a-lifetime 9-day experience in India.

Joining a select group of senior leaders from some of the world’s top private, public and civil society organisations, participants will get first-hand lessons from some of Bangalore and Mumbai’s leading social entrepreneurs. The journey will include interactive site visits, discussion around local and national issues, and personal and group reflection time.

The aim will be to enable participants to enhance their leadership skills, broaden their vision and give them high-value, actionable ideas to for their work.

Participants on our journeys have come from organisations as diverse as Nike, JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, the Bertelsmann Foundation, INSEAD and the UK National Health service. Our alumni network consists of more than 120 exceptional leaders spanning four continents.
