How to Make and Scale Social Change

 

11th March 2017  |  University College London

This conference will bring together a multidisciplinary community of young change-makers and explore a series of topics in international development and social innovation – but with a little twist.
The day will consist of two plenaries with guest speakers, a brainstorming session, an open Q&A and an immersive team challenge, as well as breaks for networking.
So whether you are into development economics, social enterprise, local leadership or policy (or perhaps all of these), be sure to keep an eye on this page.
