Shaping tomorrow’s civil society landscape through collaboration and anticipation: YMCA at the International Civic Forum 2023.
YMCA Europe is thrilled to join forces with World YMCA in active participation at this prestigious International Forum, hosted by the International Civil Society Centre in Brussels.
Our dedicated team is deeply engaged with influential leaders from global civil society in workshops that delve into the crucial theme of anticipating futures.
Leveraging the insights from our recently launched report, ‘A History of Civic Space, 2024-2034,’ as part of the SANE (Solidarity Action Network) project, we aim to contribute meaningfully to discussions shaping the trajectory of civil society.
This forum serves as a vital platform to identify sector-wide action areas and pathways, fostering anticipatory capacity at both individual and organizational levels.
As we navigate through these workshops, we eagerly anticipate sharing invaluable insights and outcomes. The feedback collected on innovative practices will not only inform our ongoing initiatives but will also pave the way for the next phase of the ‘Anticipating Futures for Civil Society Operating Space’ project.
Our involvement extends beyond this forum, as we also connect with Philea, fostering a diverse and inclusive ecosystem of foundations, philanthropic organizations, and networks dedicated to the common good.
We eagerly anticipate sharing valuable insights and outcomes from these initiatives, emphasizing our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and the proactive shaping of the future for civil society operating space.
