Likeminded: Networking, Redefined (Screening & Workshop)
28 May, 2024 @ 14:30 - 17:00
This event is hybrid and can be attended both in person and online.
What to expect?
The “Likeminded: Networking, Redefined” workshop, in collaboration with Resilient Foundation and BeNode, aims to inspire and guide change-makers and civil society actors in using their networks for good. Departing from the understanding that “networking” is finding the purpose of your web in the ecosystem at large, event host Ceren Zeytinoglu Atici This link opens in a new tab will discuss different ways networks can make a difference. The workshop will screen all episodes of Waterbear’s Likeminded documentary This link opens in a new tab, of which Ceren is the executive producer, and will be followed by discussions on the themes and action points. If you are interested, you can find the trailer for Likeminded here This link opens in a new tab. The workshop will show that whereas hierarchies give a sense of security and order, people only create purpose and meaning in life through networks.
For who is it for?
If you are a natural connector and try to build networks around your vision, join this workshop to learn about success stories and best practices.
