What is this experience all about?
As a continued collaboration with Global Learning & Development, we will focus on the following experiences and activities:
1. We will launch a Wellbeing Changemakers Hub that will focus on:
- deep dive into the emergent narratives and key frames around wellbeing & changemaking: why wellbeing is essential to advance and co-create a world where everyone is a changemaker and why it is essential to systems change, leadership, and collaboration,
- explore wellbeing practices, resources, and design principles and learn how to integrate them into our work for our teams, organization, network,
- get inspired by each other's experiences in integrating and advancing wellbeing practices in our strategies and programs, and
- collectively work on a proposal to advance wellbeing at different levels and with intervention points.
2. Our goal is to build an ecosystem of support with a focus on wellbeing by strengthening a trusted community of peers and a global network of partners. Our intention is to develop a deeper awareness of the wellbeing needs of our core community and
- set up a network of probono partners, coaches, mentors, and wellbeing practitioners, and
- help other regions and local communities to set up their own ecosystem of wellbeing support for changemakers.
If YOU are interested in being part of this network or know someone that could be a perfect fit, do not hesitate to fill out this form.
