Changemaker Gear Up Training Series (GUTS)

Everyone can be a changemaker! But making real change requires courage and determination. Changemaker GUTS will build up your changemaking muscles by developing your mindset and skills to make positive impact.
A series of activities, talks and workshops will be offered to support you to become a changemaker. These will include some practical tools and approaches that you can apply to your projects.

We are here to empower you to lead and inspire change!
You will be able to:
- Cultivate changemaker qualities and mindset
