Note from the editor
The world has always known change, but the change we see today is transforming the way we live, work and interact at a rate and scale never seen before. Technologies have lowered barriers to participation so that everyone can potentially contribute and act collectively. We envision a world where every young person grows up to become an adult changemaker, capable of taking creative action to solve a social problem; a world where the development of young changemakers and the practice of changemaking are the norm. ‘A New Game’ celebrates ideas and solutions for a world in which everyone contributes.
