SWIDN Conference 2023

We are excited to invite you all to join us at the SWIDN Conference 2023 to connect, learn and hear about work happening across the SWIDN membership network and beyond towards achieving the SDGs. Please register at this link and come along to any or all of the sessions listed below. We are able to keep this conference open access to all and free to attend again in 2023 and would love you to pass the details on to your networks as well.
This year’s conference will explore the role of UK-based organisations – in shaping a more equitable sector in the future, as donors in a fast-changing global landscape, as allies through queer-safe and anti-racist practice; as advocates for climate justice; and as actors for solidarity in tackling continued inequality and injustice. Come along for some bold and brave discussions, to learn and listen, share and connect.
