Global Perspectives
Every year, leaders of national and international civil society organisations gather at the Global Perspectives Conference with people passionate about doing social good, to exchange ideas and experiences, make connections and address the world’s most pressing challenges.
On 26 November 2024, Global Perspectives will take place once again online. Our focus this year will be on the theme of truth, trust and technology.
With the proliferation of mis- and disinformation, truth is more embattled than ever. The trust placed in civil society organisations to help solve the crises of today and the future is possibly our most valuable currency. Technological transformation is ever accelerating how we grapple with these issues. On 26 November, we invite you to join discussions and engagement opportunities on these core themes. We aim to explore questions such as: How can civil society organisations strengthen information ecosystems and tackle mis- and disinformation? How can civil society actors develop narratives to counter anti-rights groups and foster hard-fought human rights? How can systems of trust and risk-sharing help deconstruct inefficient and colonial practices between donors and recipients? We look forward to an inspiring day of exchange.
In 2023, we offered a free and online series of discussion in partnership with West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI), Civicus, CyberPeace Institute and ICVA. The conference under the title “Moments of Truth” took place on 9 November 2023. See the highlights below:
