Session Development Guidelines
Please adhere to the following guidelines when organizing your workshop session:
- Each session should be interactive, encouraging dialogue between speakers and the audience. Sessions will last 75 minutes, including introductions, panelist discussions, and a Q&A.
- Each session must include at least one funder and one Indigenous representative, with a maximum of four speakers. We strongly recommend incorporating an intergenerational panel.
- Sessions should reflect diverse viewpoints, including perspectives from Indigenous partners, funders, and groups such as Indigenous youth, women, LGBTQ, and persons with disabilities.
- We may request modifications to session proposals to ensure diverse topics and speakers. Applicants are allowed to submit only ONE session proposal.
Language
- Simultaneous translation in English, Spanish, and French will be provided throughout the conference sessions.
If you have any questions and clarification regarding submission of proposals, please contact IFIP at conference@internationalfunders.org before the submission deadline.
