Overview
The twelfth Global Perspectives Experience 2020 conference took place from the 2 November to 5 November 2020 digitally. For the first time, Global Perspectives went digital after eleven physical conferences, which provided an opportunity for more inclusive participation. The decision to hold Global Perspectives digitally was due to the COVID 19 pandemic and the growing restrictions on travel. The Centre saw this as both a challenge and an opportunity, to change the way we hold a conference and also reach new organisations and learn about new and innovative technologies.
The topic this year was about inclusion and our passion to improve different processes within three overall themes:
- Civil society organisations (CSOs) as Diverse and Inclusive Organisations.
- Inclusive Programmes
- Including CSOs in Political Processes
Throughout the conference, we provided a space for leaders to explore new approaches for inclusion in civil society work, with six plenaries and 35 workshop sessions focusing on digital inclusion, shifting power, the use of data in advocacy work, strengthening staff wellbeing and many more.
