Call for proposals per la 28° AGA dell’EFC

Dear colleague,

The 2017 Call for Proposals is open! The Programme Committee now invites you to submit your proposals for sessions at the EFC’s 28th AGA and Conference entitled ‘Courage to re-embrace solidarity in Europe. Can philanthropy take the lead?’ taking place in Warsaw from 31 May – 2 June. Submit your session proposals via the form below and return it to the EFC at aga@efc.be by 3 November!

The biggest challenges institutional philanthropy faces, from climate change to migration, no matter how diverse and unique they appear on the surface all have one key element in common – they affect each and every one of us. Solidarity – working together to find solutions and forging a strong community of responsibility for these issues – is therefore of paramount importance if we are to get from where we are to where we want to be.

But this is easier said than done, and collaborating in the spirit of solidarity requires energy, openness and flexibility… but above all, courage. Courage to face the current challenges together head on; courage to include diverse players and partners (including those too often excluded from decision-making) and gain different perspectives; courage to take risks, to push boundaries and support innovative new ideas. Above all, courage to stick together and remain focused on our goals no matter what adversity is encountered along the way.

The 2017 EFC AGA and Conference will therefore focus on the theme of ‘courage for solidarity’ and specifically how philanthropy should be involved in fostering, supporting and promoting it. It will offer a unique opportunity for delegates from around the world to reflect on their own work, learn from their peers, and discover how, by finding the courage to re-embrace solidarity, they can help shape a brighter future.
