WORKSHOPS - EXCLUSIVE FOR WINGS MEMBERS
Power and the Role of Philanthropy
​
Join us as we break into smaller groups and take a deeper dive into the themes of our plenary session. We will question the role of power dynamics in effective philanthropic practice, and explore where and how new power dynamics have disrupted systems for social change.
These intimate workshops will bring together small groups of WINGS members for an interactive discussion on power and philanthropy with others in our global network.
​
​
What you can expect
​​
-
Small groups with maximum 10 participants, which gives you the chance to meet other members of WINGS in an intimate comfortable setting.
-
Facilitation from key members of the WINGSForum wider design committee, who have in-depth knowledge and experience of the philanthropic sector.

Short sessions with lots packed into them. The workshops will ease you into challenging topics and equip you with new ideas and tools to approach them in your own organisation.
​
