As we face an unprecedented convergence of global challenges, the Impact Trust, Resilience Funders Network, the MAHB and WINGS invite you to be part of a transformative dialogue series this autumn. Our Autumn Open Dialogues Conversation Series offers a unique platform to explore the concept of the “polycrisis” and its implications for philanthropy, global cooperation, and societal transformation.
Why these conversation matter now more than ever
The term “polycrisis” has emerged as a way to describe the ‘meta’ interconnected and compounding nature of our global challenges. It calls for systemic responses and a fundamental reimagining of how we operate and respond to complex, multidimensional issues. It also presents paradoxes and potential barriers that we must navigate thoughtfully.
Our Autumn Open Dialogues explores these complexities, offering fresh perspectives on how philanthropy can enhance its “response-ability” in the face of humanity’s predicament. We strive to create an open, safe and diverse intergenerational and intercultural space that encourages cross-pollination of ideas and the co-creation of innovative solutions rather than the creation of a consensus view.
This is more than a series of conversations—it’s a journey of discovey to find new ways of being and doing with collective response-ability. Together, we’ll uncover shared experiences, learn from our differences, and forge pathways to amplify our collective impact in the face of humanity’s greatest challenges.
