About Journeys for Change
Journeys for Change is an exciting new social enterprise that develops

taking them on interactive expeditions - or "learning journeys" - to
spend time with some of the world's most inspiring social
entrepreneurs, NGOs and microfinance institutions.

Participants on the journeys are made up of a unique mix of social
entrepreneurs and senior leaders from the some of the world's top
private, public and civil society sector organisations.

Journeys currently take place in India, with expeditions planned to
other countries in the future.
Each two-week journey in India immerses participants in a unique
experience that encompasses hands-on field visits, access to leading
