Reflecting on our Festival of Learning 2023

The hosts and participants in our Festival of Learning shared a phenomenal depth and breadth of insight and our new report condenses a fraction of nearly 100 hours’ worth of learning that took place during the Festival into digestible learning points to help inform and inspire how funders work. 

“Thanks for bringing us all together and giving us the opportunity to learn from and with each other.” -  Feedback from Festival attendee 

We hope that you enjoy the recaps provided in the pages ahead – which we have arranged thematically – from combatting crises to embedding equity -  for you to easily focus in on the areas of most interest.  

If you want to dive deeper into the learning Festival contributors & participants shared, we’ve created a Festival of Learning 2023 playlist on our Youtube Channel featuring some of the online sessions that took place, including from Institute for Voluntary Action Research, City Bridge Trust, John Ellerman Foundation, the Grant Givers Movement, Place Matters and others.
