Nir Tsuk, Managing Director of Ashoka Israel, will be at PresenTense on Sunday, April 26 to discuss how Ashoka builds communities of changemakers around the world and how it plans to do the same here in Israel. Nir will talk about the theory and practice of social entrepreneurship.
Nir previously served as the Director of Ashoka's Global Fellowship Program. He holds a PhD from Cambridge University in social and political sciences – where he wrote his dissertation on social networks, social capital and intentional communities (such as the Israeli Kibbutz and the English Garden City). He continues to explore those areas as he builds Ashoka’s global community today.
Previously, Nir led policy research initiatives at the Community Development Foundation in London and at the Committee for Social Affairs in the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalem. He has been, among other things, a curriculum developer at the Rabin Centre and the Israeli national authority for Holocaust remembrance, the editor of Israel’s bestselling computer magazine, a restaurant manager, and a street cleaner. Nir advises and lectures citizen organizations, academia, government bodies, and companies. He is also a compulsive tea drinker and a fan of animated movies.
