The Changemaker Conversations Project

FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION

The Changemaker Conversations Project is a space for generative dialogue, meaningful connection and inspiration. We believe that everyone is a changemaker and that by sharing our stories, experience and knowledge, we activate and inspire the work of social change.

Our intention is that these conversations will inspire new ways of knowing, being and doing and will engage your head, heart and hands in the work of changemaking. We endeavour to create and hold space for meaningful conversations that are accessible, inclusive and that elevate all voices in the hopes that you are inspired towards action in your own changemaking initiatives.

FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION

Themes We’re Exploring:

  • Right Relations + Racial Equity

  • Environment + Sustainability

Our Guiding Principles

PRESENCE

We are present to the conversation, to each other and to what is emerging. 

CURIOSITY

We prioritize curiosity over certainty, questions over answers and create space for possibility.

COURAGE

We are willing to step out of our comfort zones and invite new insights and understanding.

DEEP LISTENING

We listen to seek understanding.  

GENERATIVE DIALOGUE

We build on each other’s ideas and embrace “yes… and”. 

AWARENESS

We bring awareness to our biases, assumptions and judgments and hold space for diverse views and experiences. 

APPRECIATION

We appreciate each other’s contributions, strengths and perspectives and challenge ideas, not people.


Changemaker Conversations Podcast

We’re thrilled to announce an extension of Changemaker Conversations - The Changemaker Conversations Podcast! Releasing throughout May 2024, we welcome you to tune in to eight episodes featuring five incredible changemakers: Stacey Perlin, Dr. Francis Boakye, Humaira Falak, Janet Arnold, and Hagir Sail. Alongside our host Priscilla Cherry, we will cover a variety of topics, including climate grief, transformational systems change, the mental health journey, and active allyship. Let’s put compassion into action, and hear from changemakers who are doing just that in their own way and how you might join them on the journey to meaningful change.



After dozens of virtual conversations, with hundreds of participants tuning into learn about the topics of Right Relations & Racial Equity, Wellbeing & Belonging, and Environment & Sustainability, Trico Changemakers’ Studio and Calgary Foundation are pressing ‘pause’ on Changemaker Conversations for the 2024-25 season. 

 

Due to the changes happening at the Studio, we are unable to put together a meaningful conversation series, however we will look for opportunities to pick up the concept again in the future.
