Conference Approach
The Conference will prioritize IFIP members and funders who work in partnership and allyship with Indigenous Peoples throughout the program. Indigenous Peoples will not only be participants but also speakers, facilitators, knowledge holders, co-designers, and decision-makers.
The program will combine global dialogue with place-based learning through:
- Plenary and keynote conversations
- Panels, dialogues and workshops
- Peer learning and knowledge exchange
- Intergenerational and intersectional dialogues
- Site visits and opportunities to learn from Indigenous communities and initiatives
- Spaces for relationship-building, networking and partnership development
The Conference will connect current conversations on global philanthropy and impact investing with the innovations, solutions, and priorities of Indigenous Peoples from around the world.
