The Berkana Exchange is a learning community and resource exchange that connects pioneering leaders throughout the globe around their shared commitment to making a difference in and beyond their communities. These leaders are developing the capacity to solve their most pressing problems�such as community health, ecological sustainability and economic self-reliance�by acting locally, connecting regionally and learning globally. The Berkana Exchange works with leadership learning centers around the globe, in such places as India, Senegal and Zimbabwe. These are places where people gather to develop their capacity as community leaders. We believe substantive change happens locally through the collective actions of ordinary people. And we believe transformation happens globally when local efforts are connected and people learn together. In this online space, we invite you to learn about and contribute your knowledge to the people and places that practice pioneering leadership.
