Changemakers

Keep It Magniv is going straight to the source, by showcasing how one person can change the world by featuring four Israeli Changemakers: Sharona, Omri, Danielle, and Julian.

Magniv, Hebrew slang for “cool,” is a direct contrast to global warming. This approach connects individuals who identify with the values and principles of keeping it magniv, directly with their Israeli peers who embrace a lifestyle that preserves our planet.

So what is a Changemaker?

A Changemaker is an individual who is dedicated to the magniv lifestyle, one who chooses to live out their life to its full potential by taking action to create a monumental change.
