What is social transformation?
Our working definition:
an intentional process of systemic change to address not only the symptoms but the root causes of inequity, injustice and unsustainability.
A project that has a transformative social impact is one that brings about change at the level of a whole system - impacting social norms and beliefs, resource consumption patterns, rules and practices, technologies and infrastructures, and/or the distribution of power.
Recognizing the inherent complexity of working across differences in power and practices to tackle major societal challenges, we strive to create the conditions for success by:
Facilitating connections between Concordians and external stakeholders;
Funding and accompanying multi-stakeholder collaborations; and
Creating opportunities for deep knowledge sharing
