SUMMARY:Understanding Yourself As An Effective Listener and Communicator
DESCRIPTION:In the dynamic landscape of global projects\, the ability to truly listen and comprehend the needs of project owners is paramount. To achieve remarkable results we need to equip ourselves with skills to not just hear\, but to deeply understand the needs of our project owners and to collaborate within our teams. \nThis workshop goes beyond the mere theory of active listening; it’s a hands-on journey into effective communication. Through insightful discussions\, real-world examples extracted from ongoing projects and a look at your personal history with communication you’ll learn more about the art of active listening and empathetic understanding. \nUnderstanding that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach\, we guide you to explore your unique  style and provide personalized strategies for improvement. After all\, the key to becoming an exceptional listener lies with understanding yourself and your strengths and challenges. \nOur facilitators \nRenate Hauser has over 40 years of experience as a clinical psychiatrist and psychotherapist. She has taught counselling skills to students at university level and communication skills to junior doctors. \nCharlie Page is a Canadian trained teen and family psychotherapist and the founder of a youth and female empowerment FOPSE (for profit social enterprise) in Toronto. \nTogether they provide a fun and informative workshop specifically designed and geared toward Giving Women projects and the circles around them. They include Insights into their experiences of listening\, being heard and connecting with others in their psychotherapeutic practises and beyond.

SUMMARY:Fundraising across borders
DESCRIPTION:Register below\nFundraising from other countries can be hugely beneficial as it opens up a larger network of potential donors and supporters. It can also be a trap for the unwary and unprepared as it can use up time and funds which could better be placed in elevating local fundraising. \nThis workshop will help you evaluate whether fundraising abroad is viable for your organisation\, what type of international fundraising you should contemplate\, where you should look for funding\, what steps are you need to take to make it happen and how to avoid costly mistakes. We will also look at some of the practical issues you will face such as tax and legal requirements and benefits to you and to donors; whether you need a separate legal entity abroad or whether an intermediary will work for you; and whether you need someone on the ground in the target country/ies. \nOur facilitator \nNancy Bikson is the Managing Director of Chapel & York. She is a lawyer with over 40 years’\nexperience providing advice to private clients and charities worldwide. She has lived in the United\nKingdom\, United States\, Australia and France and has worked with and for organisations across the\nworld in both legal and fundraising capacities\, specialising in cross-border work. She has a BA in\nLate Mediaeval English History\, a Juris Doctor degree and a LLM (Master of Laws Degree\, Tax). She\nis a member of the Richard III Society and lives in a house built in 1557.

SUMMARY:Decolonising Philanthropy -  Adjusting the Balance of Power for Good
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been a growing recognition of the need to challenge the colonial underpinnings of philanthropic practices and shift power dynamics towards those directly impacted by funding decisions. This imperative undertaking of decolonizing development\, grant-making\, and philanthropy is an ambitious task\, and one that requires a great deal of sectoral reflection\, awareness and willingness to effect change by listening to the needs and realities of the beneficiaries. \nDecolonizing philanthropy entails reevaluating where decision-making power resides and ensuring that those who have benefited less from historical wealth creation are given agency/power to shape the programs and initiatives that affect them. It requires acknowledging and respecting the cultural realities and contexts within which these partnerships operate\, moving away from top-down approaches that prioritize funder perspectives. As we seek to repair the damages of wealth creation and forge a more equitable path forward\, it is crucial to learn from the experiences of both philanthropists and implementers in navigating and rebalancing power dynamics. \nThis panel hosted by Giving Women will bring together funders\, local implementing partners and advisors\, to unpack tangible examples and best practices around how we can all work together\, to take actionable steps to make progress. This includes reflecting on what has worked well\, as well as acknowledging failures and areas for improvement. \nTakhani Bonnet\, Giving Women member and independent consultant for private sector philanthropy and sustainable investing will moderate the conversation with: \nAlishia Fernandez Miranda: Founder and Chair\, I. G. Advisors\nDr. Abiodun Adereni: Founder & CEO\, HelpMum Africa\nGAURI MAHENDRA\, CO-founder\, UMEED\nSusan Snider: Vice President of Strategy\, Innovation and Impact\, Equality Fund \nBIOS\nTakhani Bonnet \nGiving Women member and independent consultant for private sector philanthropy and sustainable investing; most recently\, with the United Nations\, Edmond de Rothchild Banque Privee and the Blackstone Charitable Foundation. \nAlisha Fernandez Miranda \nAlisha has dedicated her career to fixing the resource flow to make social impact a more inclusive\, efficient space. She serves as Chair and former CEO of I.G. Advisors\, an award-winning global strategy consultancy specialising in social and environmental change\, advising the world’s biggest nonprofits\, foundations\, and corporations on their philanthropy and social initiatives. \nA graduate of Harvard University and the London School of Economics\, her first book\, My What If Year was released in 2023. She’s appeared on Good Morning America\, CNN\, MSNBC\, NPR and many other outlets and her writing has been featured widely\, including in Vogue\, Insider\, Marie Claire\, and Huffington Post. \nOriginally from Miami\, she currently lives in Scotland with her husband and children.

This is done through the distribution of affordable Clean Birth kits to pregnant women in deprived and underserved communities\, registration of mothers on a proprietary vaccination tracking system\, training of community birth attendants using an E-learning platform\, and complete renovation of the highly unhygienic and deteriorated state of community birth attendant homes.\n______ \nGauri Mahendra \nGauri (Co – founder & President\, UMEED) is a Master’s in Human Resources and Knowledge Management from Lancaster University\, UK and an alumnus of the International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) by the U.S. Department of State.

SUMMARY:Screening of "Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (if you are a girl)"
DESCRIPTION:In-person Space is Limited so Register Soon Below\nFollowing the panel conversation we held back in April this year\, where the founder of Skateistan was one of the panelists\, we are delighted to be able to screen this Oscar and BAFTA award-winning documentary. \nThis short film/documentary follows a group of girls who are attending the ‘Back to School’ program at Skateistan to help them enter or rejoin formal education. Alongside winning an Academy Award\, the film has also won a BAFTA and won Best Documentary Short at the Tribeca Film Festival. \nSkateistan\, founded in 2008 in Kabul\, runs skateboarding and creative education programs in Afghanistan\, Cambodia and South Africa. Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl) is a moving account of a group of girls in Kabul and their progress through their classes at Skateistan. The Skate School is seen as a refuge from the dangers and insecurity of life outside its walls. We see the interaction between the girls and their female teachers\, some of whom are former Skateistan students\, and the bonds that are created between women and girls in challenging environments. \nIt’s fitting that the film was shot with an entirely female crew\, on location in Kabul in 2017. Afghanistan is consistently ranked as one of the worst places in the world to be a girl\, but the film shows another side to life and childhood in Kabul. We see the girls in the classroom at Skateistan\, being guided by their teachers who encourage them to be brave by coming to the board. They tell stories to each other\, joke around and clap for each other when they get things right. In the skatepark\, they watch their educator in awe as she demonstrates her skills\, before getting on the boards themselves and helping each other to balance. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q & A with the founder and executive director of Skateistan\, Oliver Percovich.
