The Art of Change Making

Together with Sophie, the girl of the Bank of Change visiting the EX Change at is worth mentioning in the Art of Changemaking.

The Art of Hosting Amsterdam team at Knowmads were inspired today by this nice Huffington Post article about putting it into practice in business and in life. See you at Knowmads for the training, 18-20th June?? We are interested in value exchanges!

The Future of Work: the Art of Collaborative Leadership The future of work as we know it is shifting from an outdated directive approach toward collaborative frameworks that inspire us to engage in new and different ways with our work and with each other.

Decouvertes said: “It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” We've certainly been asking a lot of questions here in Amsterdam!

For the last 8 days 42 internationals have been exploring the art of Changemaking together at Knowmads Business School Amsterdam. Here's some of the values we shared:

Is change-making an art?

We are all living together on one planet.
Many agree that we need to develop a more humane, just and ecologically viable way to live in the world.
We all carry questions, capacities, energies, longings, visions, and understandings. Amidst the multitude of initiatives and change processes, how can discover ways that would enhance and maximise our capacities as ecological citizens and imaginative agents of change?

Before meeting you we came together to open up a space in which we can all work to explore our creative capacities and potential to contribute to change.

These are the some questions that emerged.

•What is change to me?
•What capacities do I need to be an agent of change?
•What is my freedom?
•How do I understand the connection between responsibility and freedom?
•What values contribute to the shaping a viable future?


We are inviting you to come into this unique intercultural space with your doubts, concerns, questions, experiences and passion to work together. These are all useful resources on this journey.

hosted by the Knowmads and the Amsterdam University of Applied Science with the following partners.
•Oxford Brookes University / Social Sculpture Research Unit

What past participants say:

"It’s opened my eyes to the world as a bigger picture."

"It opened new doors for me. There were things like theatre or the street actions that I wouldn’t consider myself able to do before and now I’m comfortable with them."


"I have a much greater understanding of how my own practice can be used as a means of critically examining the world/community around us, and also take away lots of practical skills and ideas for
working in different artistic mediums."

"we all have to become storytellers of the new world"
Passionately leading by example :-)
