What is a Changemaker?
The 4 Pillars
A Changemaker is someone with the skills and confidence to lead change in their home, school and community- or an active citizen.
The DCU CNS supports each child's identity as Changemakers, by developing DCU Changemaker Schools and exploring the development of school cultures which focuses on children's capacities as active citizens.
Changemaker schools are guided by 4 pillars: Empathy, Leadership, Creativity and Teamwork. 大发体育在线_大发体育-投注|官网 information can be found about each pillar here.
