Curriculum Development: Resolve Foundation's Community Changemaker Fellowship
Over the past few months, we've had the joy of working with Resolve Foundation to redesign the curriculum for their 2025–2026 Community Changemaker Fellowship, themed "Representation and Beyond: Gender Inclusion in Everyday Life." This collaboration brought together two things we care deeply about: growing the social impact ecosystem, and creating learning spaces where emerging leaders feel equipped, confident, and connected.
Why This Project Mattered
In Hong Kong's social impact sector, accessible opportunities for community leaders to build practical leadership skills - like communication, resource mobilization, and resilience - are few and far between. Many emerging leaders learn by doing, often alone, and that can be exhausting.
So when the Resolve team approached Amplify Consulting to help rethink their fellowship curriculum, we saw an opportunity to:
Make the learnings practical, skills-based, and fun
Embed intersectionality throughout the themes and activities
Design experiences that build community and peer support, not just knowledge
Most of our work on this project has been behind the scenes, making sure each workshop fits into a coherent arc for the fellows' leadership journey. This includes:
Designing session objectives, learning outcomes, activities, and materials across multiple workshops
Integrating gender inclusion and intersectionality into leadership content in a grounded, practical way
Facilitating selected sessions to bring the curriculum to life
Across all of this, our aim has been consistent: to create learning experiences where people don't just absorb information, but try new things, reflect, and feel less alone in the work they're doing.
The Highlight
One of the highlights of this project was when our Founder & CEO, Zamira Monteiro, stepped in to facilitate a workshop on the topic 'Mobilizing Resources'. The session featured expert sharing, peer discussion, and a high-pressure simulation game where teams raced the clock to 'secure' resources amid real-world challenges.
The result? Good chaos, a lot of laughter, and some very real insights. Fellows left with clearer language for their asks and a more expansive view of what resources can look like in their work.
We're grateful to the Resolve team for their trust and openness to experimenting with new approaches! If you're interested in curriculum or programme design for leadership, social impact, or gender inclusion and you'd like support to make your learning spaces more engaging and practical, get in touch!
