Summit Agenda
Bridge of Hope is a “hands on” Summit. You’ll not only hear talks from inspirational leaders and thinkers, you’ll have the opportunity to connect in breakout groups with colleagues around the world, and to practice hands-on skills to refine your resilience, purpose, and vision for your work.
Day 1 begins by making space for resilience, purpose, and connection during times of change. You’ll hear inspirational talks from field leaders, explore practical skills for managing stress and navigating change, and have opportunities to connect & share with humanitarian and social sector workers around the world.
Day 2 shifts us towards reconnecting with purpose. When our plans are disrupted, how can we find clarity of direction to move forward? We’ll explore stories and practices for getting reinspired about your personal purpose.
Day 3 emphasizes rebuilding. The humanitarian sector is changing. Out of the chaos and disruption, can we rebuild something new and better?
