The first place to prescribe encounters.

Le bureau des intros is CHNGMKR’s office in Paris. In a 45 to 60 minute session, we listen and ask questions about what you are building. Then we write your prescription of encounters: one changemaker to meet.

Tuesday to Saturday, 11 am to 7 pmWhat you receive

A letter that names one person.

It says where we started, whom we asked along the chain of recommendations, why we stop on this name and why now, and how to reach them.

It is written by hand, stamped and dated. It stays valid for ninety days.

Before you come.

Who is it for?

Anyone with a project as a changemaker, at any stage.

What should I bring?

Your project as it stands: a page, a few slides, or what you can tell us in ten minutes. The form asks the rest.

How do you choose the person?

We follow the chain of recommendations on the map: every changemaker was recommended by another. We stop on the one whose work meets your project, close to you first.

How many encounters?

You choose a rhythm in the form, from two encounters a year to two a month. Each prescription names one person.

In person, or at a distance?

Both. Come to the bureau by appointment, take a video call, or ask for your prescription in writing.

What happens after the form?

We write back within a few days, to fix an appointment or to send your prescription.

News about curated changemakers, a few times a year.
