Over the course of two weeks in May 2021, almost 900 attendees from across the funding and civil society sectors came together to take part in London Funders’ first Festival of Learning.
Broken down into five themes (collaboration, community, equity, leadership and process), this booklet breaks down the insightful conversations, presentations and questions that were covered over the two week event. The wide diversity of topics discussed at the Festival included lessons from leaving leaders, facilitating collaboration through uncertain times, and how funders can prioritise equity in their grantmaking.
And sessions took place in a variety of different formats – from ‘learning lairs’ to interactive seminars, from panel debates to informal conversations, we made sure to give attendees the chance to contribute, consider and collate the information that they need to understand developments in best practice in the funding sector, and the challenges and opportunities ahead for civil society.
