Ashoka is Coming to Israel
According to Ashoka, “over the past 60 years, Israel and its social sector have grown tremendously and performed impressively. Yet the country still faces multiple challenges — political and religious tensions; issues of minority rights and exclusion; social and economic inequalities; and inadequate environmental protection — which require more than good will and work. They need system-changing ideas led by people who can implement them and inspire others to act. These people are social entrepreneurs; visionaries who work to change the patterns of how society operates.”
An international organization, Ashoka envisions a world where everyone is a change-maker; with a global community that is able to respond quickly and effectively to social challenges anywhere and anytime. Where every member of society would have the freedom, confidence and societal support to create positive change.
We will have more to say about Ashoka Israel next month. In the meantime, Kol Ha-Kavod to both Nir and Ashoka for this endeavor; and we look forward to our Israeli change-makers adding a new dimension to Ashoka’s global community.
