“Power Shift” within international civil society organisations (ICSOs) is topic of growing importance. Who has power? Who can exercise it? How does it work?
In conversation, Ed Boswell, Co-Founder and CEO at Conner Advisory and Wolfgang Jamann, Executive Director of the International Civil Society Centre look at power concerning ICSOs’ governance.
The two recently led our “Power Shift Lab” on the subject of PowerShift in ICSOs. The lab invited leaders from ICSOs organisations to analyse power dynamics and factors furthering or hindering the shifting of power within their organisations.

Centre events and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) (last update: 11 March 2020)
The International Civil Society Centre is carefully watching the situation linked to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
As event organisers, we have a duty of care for all participants attending our events and to take measures to ensure a safe environment. We wish to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.
Therefore, we have decided that all planned meetings between March to mid-April will take place virtually.
We are working hard to adjust our planning. Project managers will communicate with participants on how this will work.
Events after mid-April: we will continue to monitor the situation and inform participants at the latest one month ahead of each meeting about any necessary changes.
If you have any questions concerning our events, please don’t hesitate to contact Ryan Stanton (rstanton@icscentre.org).
