Changemakers is unique to Homerton
We began teaching in September 2019, turning a two-page document approved by College Council into a living, breathing, exciting programme that inspires people & equips them for actual changemaking.
Between 2019 and now over 800 Homerton students have been part of Changemaker programmes; we've taught 15500 student hours; developed a network of 200 world-class people who support, teach and mentor students; hosted more than 75 events; supported 9 start-ups; and developed a reputation for being innovative, humane, and intellectually courageous. We work with colleagues around the world to refine our work and advance ideas of progressive, future-reading education; and are part of global conversations on how Universities can step up into the pressing, urgent challenge of our time: educating whole people as well as academic performers.

You might be wondering why we're called Changemakers.
It’s because of the core principles of the programme. We help you build your insight and skills so you can be part of creating a more just, regenerative and sustainable world, connecting your academic work to your lifework, if you like. To be the change you want to see.
We believe it’s the future of education.
"Homerton changemakers made me realise that there is life outside of academia. Most recently, through the virtual residential, I was encouraged to look at leadership in a new way."

Homerton Changemakers StoriesTestimonials
Changemakers has introduced me to a community of wonderful and inspiring people. Each Changemaker event I have attended has left me feeling energised and excited to tackle the big challenges our world is facing today. Having the right values, tools, attitude and people on my side has emboldened me to champion radical positive change.
"Homerton Changemakers is a brilliant and necessary invitation for us to raise our game as humans. To explore how to draw new maps for a world with a future.”
"Homerton Changemakers helped me realise how much push for change there currently is - the programme creates a supportive environment to channel it into proper changemaking."
"Making change by dissenting from old orthodoxies is Homerton’s DNA. At Homerton I learned how to be an agent of change rather than a passive bystander. That’s why I support Changemakers."
“Above all, I feel empowered by the opportunity that Changemakers have given me to deeply connect and exchange ideas with like-minded people of all ages and backgrounds - and a powerful reminder that it is up to our generation, each and every one of us, to make this world a better place to live in.”
