Global Philanthropy Forum 2023 | Confronting Orthodoxies: Evolving Mindsets

The Youth Cafe took part in the 2023 Global Philanthropy Forum conference, which focused on evolving mindsets and confronting orthodoxies in philanthropy. The program sought to engage in needed conversations but was not often conducted in a public forum. It sought roadmaps for funders to embed topics like accountability, localization and justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in their global work. Over the 2.5 days, 220 people were in attendance from 31 countries -- a truly global conversation. Watch The Youth Cafe’s speech.
