Changemakers

The project has several secondary goals, worked on transversally thanks to the changemaker methodology used by Punto JES. Young people engaged in social entrepreneurship, who have to provide solutions to problems related to health and wellbeing—what can they do to improve these areas in their community? Different skills and abilities are directly worked on in this project, such as: teamwork, social and communication skills, self-discovery of unknown or undervalued abilities in the traditional education system, shared leadership, creativity and innovation, critical thinking, etc. During the sessions, the volunteer team accompanies the students—secondary and Basic Vocational Training students—after having received thorough training from the Punto JES team, which prepares them to accompany students on this path to becoming changemakers and proposing initiatives that improve everyone’s life.
