A changemaking journey in 100 lessons

Melati Wijsen frames the book around lessons drawn from her own successes and failures as she became a full-time changemaker. The 100-part structure connects her experience of growing up in a movement with the practical question of how people can take part in change. The account includes her early work building a youth-led movement against plastic bags and her later creation of a global platform intended to help young people empower one another and accelerate change. Environmental action is a key thread, alongside youth leadership and the path from wanting to act to organizing with others.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in environmental conservation and action on plastic use.
  • Young people and adults curious about youth-led movements and leadership.
  • Readers seeking personal lessons about getting involved in social change.

'The most powerful force for change today is not coming from conference rooms or corridors of power. It's coming from young leaders like Melati who combine vision with unstoppable determination.' Christiana Figueres

 

Melati Wijsen is a full-time changemaker who knew at a young age that she wanted to take action. Her idols were not Barbie or Taylor Swift, but Mahatma Gandhi and Jane Goodall. Her first achievement was building a youth-led movement to say no to plastic bags. She is praised for her determination, vision, and leadership. In 2023, Melati was the opening act of Barack Obama in the Netherlands. Today, she's created a global platform for youth to empower each other and accelerate change.
