Shift the Power Summit
Do you want to be part of a global conversation that puts communities in charge of their own development and that produces flourishing lives for all? Do you believe that the current international funding system can and must be re-shaped to be more locally-owned and locally-led? Do you want to be inspired by new ways of deciding and doing that are emerging around the world, that centre dignity, equity and trust - and that recognize the resources and inherent power of communities?
If so, join the Shift The Power Summit in Bogotá from 5–7 December 2023!
#ShiftThePower is a mobilizing force that seeks to highlight, harness, resource, legitimize and join up these new ways of “deciding and doing” that are emerging around the world under the larger umbrella of movement generosity so that it can galvanize a vision of a good society and serve as a force for genuine and lasting change. It is time to further connect bottom-up, people-centred practices, initiatives and organizations, which when considered collectively can form the basis of an alternative system, based on distributed networks and shared power. How, for example, can power at the edges of our societies be harnessed at scale so that community-led initiatives shift from being heart-warming, one-off stories to constituting the essential basic fabric of a participatory, inclusive and decentralized society?
