CHANGMAKERS IN RUSSIA
ABOUT
Social changemakers mapping is a project aimed to collect, process and present information about social change leaders. The survey was conducted by “snowball” method: at the beginning 79 people, recommended by the partnership team, were interviewed. All of them, for their part, recommended other leaders of social changes in depth interviews. Many of named leaders also had been questioned and suggested other estimable candidates.
The project addresses the problem of low representation of social changemakers and connections between them, which lie at the core of the community and are the necessary element in the formation of social innovations.
