We’re looking for a new breed of individuals with a passion to transform and challenge the way things have been done through social enterprise.

You can be anybody – an artist, a student, a designer, a public servant, an engineer… etc! The camp is open to social entrepreneurs and to those who are just considering becoming one.

What’s important is your vision to change the world around you.

Get ready for 7 days of learning, inspiration and fun!

The Changemaker Camp is dedicated to developing your creative side while offering a space to exchange, foster thinking and collaborate on ideas.

We aim to stimulate young people’s networks – to inspire and encourage creativity and provide an outlet for ideas. We believe that ideas cannot happen in isolation and collaboration via networks can bring together the right mix of people, skills and experiences needed to turn ideas into reality.

The 7 day camp will include training sessions on social enterprise, field visits and case studies of existing social enterprises and talks from social entrepreneurs in the country. The 7 day camp will be facilitated by both local and British trainers who have a wealth of knowledge and experience with young people and social enterprises.

At the end of the camp, participants are given a real world exercise on pitching their ideas to a diverse panel of judges who will decide on the 5 best social enterprise ideas. The top 5 will be given seed funding to turn those ideas into a viable social enterprise.

A total of Php 500,000 is up for grabs!

It’s simple. Filipinos, 18 – 28 years old, can apply as an individual or as part of a 2 member team. Teams may exceed 2 members but the camp will only accept up to 2 representatives from the team.
