Making this moment count: How can we reinforce the efforts of civil society in Asia?
We have heard from players across Asia that, “we are at our brightest moment right now”, with philanthropic, public and private bodies exploring new forms of organising, coordinating resources and influencing agendas for the common good. Is there applicable knowledge to be gained from different local contexts? How can longer-lasting support structures be built so as not to forget the important role that civil society plays or waste this valuable moment?

Many public service innovators are thinking creatively, connecting stakeholders, asking critical questions, seeking out peers outside of their immediate sector or context. But by exchanging questions, ideas and next steps, and learning from other unusual suspects in public service innovation, we can find full energy and commitment for the road ahead.

The How Matters — Challenges in building long-term trust and demonstrating value in the midst of a pandemic.
There is a growing feeling amongst both donors and civil society organisations that the way we measure impact is only seeing “part of the moon.” Despite a general agreement that networks and infrastructure is vital to social innovation, the ‘how’ is harder to explain than the what and the way (and perhaps as a consequence), as one dine-around participant noted, “nobody wants to fund it”.

We are "ensembling" with two youth-led networks based in North and South America, Youth Climate Lab and 100in1day. Even though the origin and the focus of these two networks are different, there are similar challenges and questions asked by the young people leading the movement. This session brings together insights and learnings from both movements and other emerging youth-led change groups.

Our values are our ‘north stars’, decision-making tools and standards to which we must hold ourselves and others to account. But too often, the rhetoric, actions and impact amongst powerful individuals and institutions are not in line. Working well with those we must also hold to account causes unwanted confrontations; truly influencing values-aligned work is no easy path.
Friday 16th October, 10:00 - 12:00 BST
We are inviting a small group of practitioners working with refugees and young people in the UK to this session. We will create a space for "action learning", where the peer group helps a person's concerns, topics and challenges through reflective, open questioning.
