Building Bridges to Solve Complex Global Problems

Together, we can build concerted global action on critical issues.

Complex global challenges such as migration, climate change and civil conflict demand collaborative approaches.

Free from the burdens of government, philanthropists have a unique opportunity to build bridges that bring multiple stakeholders together to solve these problems.

Synergos Philanthropy Week Europe will focus ways in which philanthropists can create just such collaboration, through leading with humility, empathy, inclusion, and self-reflection. We will explore how Synergos’ bridging leadership approach increases the effectiveness of philanthropy.

This immersive gathering is limited to 30 participants, who are requested to bring their whole selves and join the full program to truly engage in this opportunity and make the most of our time together.
