WHAT’S ON THE TABLE?
Each Meraki Xperience features a case study and capstone project relating to community learning models and social innovation in their country. At the inaugural event in Greece, we are aiming to have at least ½ of participants be active Greek changemakers who are working to evolve learning and working systems within the local context. We are in dialogue with Ashoka, Academy of Entrepreneurship, and Impact Hub Athens to create a nominating network to help us identify the best local talent who could benefit from an international perspective, gather feedback on their work, and build capacity and skills to further their im-pact. This element will give the collective a better understanding of the local context we’re in as part of the global social change movement. Aside from Greek participants, we will be bringing together individuals from the EU, Americas, and beyond, which will offer multiple perspectives and rich collective wisdom on the future of learning and social innovation.
POWERED BY GOODWORLD JOURNEYS
We are also excited to announce that we’ve partnered with GoodWorld Journeys. Their retreat, “The Soul of Innovation”, is happening in parallel to the Meraki Xperience. Partici-pants of the Meraki Xperience will engage with Good World Journeys in intergenerational salons over the course of the Xperience. They will also engage in interactive workshops, meet local and international guests, co-host peer to peer learning sessions and work on capstone projects.

WHAT ARE THE KEY OUTCOmES AND TAKEAWAYS?
The group will share key insights, takeaways & strategic follow-up recommendations. The knowledge, ex-perience, and wisdom will be documented through articles, videos, and a collaboratively-produced toolkit highlighting what we learn in the process and about the local context. This will be shared for the wider global community.
When participants leave the Xperience, they will have:
• Been able to put their experience and perspective into practice by sharing skills and knowledge in a collective, action-based learning environment.
• Developed a strong support network of like-minded peers connected by shared experience and the possibility to collaborate on self-initiated and external initiatives and ventures.
• Received valuable feedback on their own entrepreneurial endeavors from a diverse and talented group of people.
• Worked on developing their individual passion projects for social change as well as have collaborated on new projects to create value for the local Greek community and wider ecosystem of learning and working systems.
As a group, we will develop two core products over the course of the Xperience:
• Learning for Change: A collaborative guide exploring how we can better learn about ourselves and systems.
• The 48-Hour Learning Design Jam & Community Sprint: A pilot project using the knowledge & skills shared during the Meraki Xperience, participants will work together with the local community on an action-research based project benefiting Patmos. The process will be designed with Athens-based 180º, a social impact design studio working to transform Greek employment opportunities. Within the project, we will feature a 48 hour learning design jam, a creative process to explore solutions to systemic problems surrounding the ways in which we help individuals and communities learn together. The final day of the Xperience will be used to present and launch the proposed solution. This will be designed for possible adaptation and scale to other parts of Greece and the world.
