RINGO Connect: Join us on the last Wednesday of every month

The RINGO Con­nect meet­ings pro­vide an oppor­tu­ni­ty to make con­nec­tions between change­mak­ers and con­nect the dots between ini­tia­tives that add up to sys­tems change in glob­al civ­il soci­ety.

This RINGO com­mu­ni­ty is rich with peo­ple doing amaz­ing things to shift pow­er and build a more resilient, just and equi­table civ­il soci­ety. RINGO wel­comes actors from local and nation­al civ­il soci­ety organ­i­sa­tions, net­works and move­ments, fun­ders, INGOs and inter­me­di­aries, acad­e­mia, pri­vate sec­tor and every­one in between. Let’s bring all these diverse expe­ri­ences and per­spec­tives to our vir­tu­al table, where every­one is invit­ed.

An exercise in community solutioning

We are offer­ing an infor­mal, semi-struc­tured online space where you can take the floor to share a chal­lenge you are fac­ing, exchange new ideas, high­light ini­tia­tives, weave knowl­edge, offer peer sup­port, dis­cuss press­ing issues, and more. RINGO facil­i­ta­tors will be on hand to guide us to move from ideas to action.

“My takeaway/reflection is that we need to be more bold and take risks in tak­ing action on the change we want to see.”

Every month, you choose to join a dis­cus­sion group on the theme that mat­ters to you:

• South-South / Dias­po­ra Col­lab­o­ra­tion
• Fund­ing / Resource Flows
• Future Roles of INGOs
• Pow­er and Voice
• Con­ser­va­tion and Cli­mate Jus­tice
• Peace­build­ing and Con­flict

Fostering solidarity

The RINGO Con­nect meet­ings are more than just a talk­ing shop. They offer a month­ly oppor­tu­ni­ty for peo­ple from across civ­il soci­ety to come togeth­er, co-con­spire and fos­ter sol­i­dar­i­ty between and across sec­tors and geo­gra­phies. Togeth­er we can build the col­lec­tive action we urgent­ly need to meet this moment of dis­rup­tion across civ­il soci­ety and co-cre­ate a new sys­tem.

“I felt the sol­i­dar­i­ty and con­nec­tion with peo­ple from dif­fer­ent coun­tries lead­ing with the same issues, engaged in shift­ing the pow­er and pro­mot­ing changes.”

A space for connection 

The ses­sions will evolve organ­i­cal­ly to meet your needs so come along with an open mind, a will­ing­ness to engage and your morn­ing cof­fee / brown bag lunch / after­noon tea / evening cocoa…
