Changemakers work in challenging environments that demand mental, emotional, and physical resilience. Their impactful work-spanning social justice, environmental advocacy, and policy reform— can lead to burnout, stress, and isolation.

This six-module online program is a transformative journey designed to help changemakers deepen their awareness and strengthen their connection to their work and the world around them. Grounded in the Inner Development Goals framework, it weaves together personal resilience practices and nature-inspired reflections to explore the dimensions of Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting.
Participants will reflect on how their inner states, relationships, and systems influence resilience, uncovering insights and strategies to navigate challenges and enhance their leadership and impact. Recognizing the pressures changemakers face, the program creates space for personal growth and renewal, equipping participants to act as champions of resilience and sustainability within their organizations and ecosystems.

This program is offered and facilitated by the Inner Green Deal team (Katharina Buchgeister and Molly Stevenson), members of Ashoka Europe’s Community, and hosted by Ashoka Europe One Community.
