An Invitation to Join #ChangeTheNow
In 2018 Georgian College, Canada’s first Ashoka Changemaker College, wanted to know if they could mobilize students from kindergarten to Post Secondary into a movement, effectively building a region of Changemakers. It was from here that #ChangeTheNow began.
Do Good to Do Well
#ChangeTheNow was created on the beliefs that small acts can lead to big change and collaborations can turn into largescale movements. We believe together students’, educators’ and communities’ ideas can spark systems shifts that make will make our communities greener, healthier, safer, stronger and more inclusive!
Will you join us in creating the positive change and contribute to 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals?

🤔 Reflection question
After completing CTN, what new awareness do you have for yourself (ME) and your community (WE) and what is one action you might take to continue to explore it?
Mukti's Answer
After completing the CTN (Collaborative Transformation Network) project, I (ME) have developed a deeper awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth as a team member and a leader. I have learned the importance of empathy, active listening, and supporting others to foster a more productive and harmonious team environment. Moreover, I now understand the significance of social issues addressed by our SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) and the impact they have on our community (WE). To continue exploring this newfound awareness, I might take the initiative to organize workshops or discussions within our community to raise awareness about the SDG's social issue and its implications. By engaging with the community, sharing insights, and encouraging empathy-driven conversations, we can collectively work towards finding innovative solutions and making a positive change in the lives of those affected by the issue.

🤔 Reflection question
After learning about how to empathize with the people affected by your SDG’s social issue, how you might apply empathy to working with the members on your CTN Innovation Team?
Mukti's Answer
Applying empathy within our CTN Innovation Team is essential for creating a positive and productive environment. Actively listening to team members, understand their strengths and challenges, and consider their personal circumstances. Offer support and assistance when needed, celebrate successes, and manage conflicts with empathy and understanding. Seek feedback to continuously improve team dynamics and lead by example in demonstrating empathy. By fostering a culture of empathy, the team can collaborate effectively, tackle challenges, and make a positive impact on the social issue related to SDG 11.

🤔 Reflection question
After completing the Mobius Strip exercise, what do you feel are next steps towards contributing to the community you care about?
Aashish's Answer
I believe that after completing the mobius strip, I have a better understanding of the me and we, both views, and how values might differ. The following stages would be to raise awareness of changemaking and to both personally and as a team seek solutions to these essential concerns in order to effect positive change. Now, after the exercise, this knowledge will be used for next steps as well as in the actual world.
