Changemakers’ Friday in The Hague
26 June @ 09:00 - 18:00
Changemakers’ Friday
Every last Friday of the month at The Hague Humanity Hub
A full day of connection, learning, and co-working for impact-driven changemakers. Come for the co-working, stay for the community, and leave inspired for the weekend ahead.
About the Day
Changemakers’ Friday brings together entrepreneurs, activists, and innovators working to create positive change. Whether you’re building a social enterprise, scaling an NGO, or exploring your next impact project, this is your space to collaborate, learn, and grow.
The programme consists of three parts – choose what works for you or stay for the full day.
Programme
9:00 AM – Fresh Start
Networking and first introductions. Grab a coffee and connect with fellow changemakers.
10:30 AM – Free Workshop (90 mins)
Intentionality in Tech Usage: Preventing Digital Fatigue in the Era of Always-On Digital Culture, AI, and Tech Overload
Led by Chandler Martin
With smartphones and countless tech tools at our fingertips, we have more ways than ever to collaborate and stay connected. But our operating environments are increasingly chaotic, filled with digital noise that saps productivity and distances us from our purpose.
This interactive workshop explores how we – as individuals and leaders – can protect our attention, calendars, well-being, and boundaries so that we and our work flourish. You’ll leave with concrete, actionable steps to manage your attention more sustainably and stay focused on what matters.
12:00 – 13:00 – Shared Lunch
Reflect on the morning session. Bring your own lunch or purchase a delicious meal at our cafe.
13:00 onwards – Co-working & Expert Open Desks
Continue working on your projects with dedicated desk space, or drop in to get expert advice:
