You’re invited: Healing Solidarity

Wondering how to do things differently?

Do you care deeply about inequity and injustice in the world? But have questions about the way the development sector currently works?

From 17-21 September, you’re invited to this free online conference:

www.healingsolidarity.org.

Healing Solidarity: Re-imagining International Development is a place where we can ask the difficult questions. Come with an open mind and heart, to reflect on what exactly it means to protect and uphold our values in our work, find ways to be in greater integrity, AND figure out how to care for ourselves and each other as well.

Here’s a little preview of my interview:

This conference will cover a lot of interesting ground: from innovations in fundraising, to more ethical practice in partnership, to questions about how we tackle injustice in our day-to-day work, and how to support ourselves to be resilient for the long-haul.

I’m so honored to have been invited by the conference host and organizer, Mary Ann Clements, along side many other amazing practitioners and cutting edge thinkers! When Mary Ann first introduced the conference to me, she wrote,

“The conference is deliberately expansive and will be about how we can build connections and collaborations which allow true solidarity to emerge, and help us work together on the important issues of our time across national boundaries.”

Here’s how the online conference will work: Each day, several hour-long video interviews will be available for to watch and participants you will also get access to a free mini workbook full of prompts, questions, and exercises designed to help you reflect on your own work and practice in relation to the issues and ideas discussed in the conference. Access to the talks during the week of the conference and live conversations and practices in a Facebook group is free. You can register here.

If you aren’t able to watch all the talks (there are going to be at more than 15 of them) during the week, you can also make a contribution to support the production of the conference and receive access to recordings of the sessions.
