This week, For Purpose, has an action-packed week filled with learning, collaboration, and connection! Monday: We kickstart the week with a dynamic strategy session! Together, our facilitators will collaboratively develop a strategic plan through brainstorming sessions. Tuesday: We're excited to reconnect with our attendees from last week as they join us for the WORKSHOP - Making the invisible, visible: the role of power in our work. In this workshop, Morgan Cataldo delves into different models and frameworks of power and explores how we can shift our practice from ‘doing to and for’ towards ‘working with and alongside’ affected communities. Wednesday: The learning continues with another exciting online workshop, Engaging with Media for Advocacy! Edwina Pearse and Sarah Jackson look at effective (unpaid) media planning to achieve objectives, create media releases journalists will read, pitch newsworthy media stories, develop key messages, respond to interview questions successfully, and the attendees will discover tricks of the trade. Thursday: We have set aside time to Engage and Connect. It's all about building relationships and fostering meaningful connections! Friday: We wrap up the week on a high note with our sold-out Policy and Advocacy Online Intensive. The Intensive allows people from the not-for-profit sector to work alongside like-minded individuals to develop the critical skills required to navigate policy and political processes and make change happen. We're thrilled about the exciting week ahead and can't wait to dive in together! #professionaldevelopment #livedexperience #policy #advocacy #media #communications #power #strategicplanning #changemakers

What if the key to solving our biggest challenges lies in collaborating with people you don’t like? In my new TEDxArendal talk, I share three powerful stories—from climate policy to grassroots advocacy—showcasing how unlikely partnerships can transform lives and drive real change. These personal insights and surprising alliances challenge us to move beyond divisions and focus on what truly matters: creating a lasting impact.

Where others see conflict, Michael Sheldrick sees compromise and turns it into shared value. Watch for the beautiful stories Mick shares. The 3 takeaways: 1. Focus on solutions, not blame. 2. Embrace unlikely allies. 3. Impact or ideologies-- play the best hand with the cards you're dealt.

It may be because I am re-trialling Premium, but from what I can see, this is a New Addition. It seems quite interesting, certainly a new way of raising awareness as a Thought Leader in your chosen field! #TheNILinkedInGuy #LinkedInLearningWithRodney

To ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of development projects, it is essential to raise awareness and train the various players involved. Indeed, in order to win the support of all project stakeholders, everyone must be able to understand their role and responsibilities. #IEC (Inform - Educate - Communicate) is an approach that goes beyond simply raising awareness. It is defined as a set of communication activities designed to bring about a voluntary and lasting change in a practice by an individual or a community. #CommunicationsTools 👩🏽🏫 #Women4Women

Engagement Matters Part 2: Empowering communities with Open Data. Stakeholders are more likely to contribute when their voices are heard. Open communication can create feedback that is critical to empowering active participation. https://ow.ly/lI0C50Rrgnl

MenEngage Alliance is an international network of 1,100+ civil society members representing 92 countries with a collective desire to "transform unequal power relations and dismantle patriarchal systems, locally, regionally and globally". It was wonderful to spend time with the Director laxman लक्ष्मण belbase बेल्वासे in Washington DC. The desire to transform "patriarchal masculinities and rigid, harmful norms around ‘being a man’" is part of the purpose that drives and mobilises this incredible global movement. It is not without its challenges - "How do we take big words but important values like dismantling patriarchy, and systems change, and help people understand them in their local contexts and ways of thinking?"(Global Board Member) And imagine what it is like to have a team based in12 countries, across 4 continents and 5 time zones. Big shout out to the Global Secretariat team who coordinate the work of the MenEngage Alliance!
