REPORT
The Social Change Project
For the last 18 months, The Social Change Project has sought to answer one critical question: what can we learn about how social change is happening today that can strengthen civil society’s future efforts? What we have learnt is in a new report which urges civil society to unleash its “Social Power” by being much bolder and braver.
