Event 1: Philanthropy, Intergenerationality and Ancestry

We are the sum of different peoples and cultures, apparent in our language, ideas, ways of communicating, behaviors, cultural patterns, and our personal, social and family memories. How do theses cultural aspects manifest in our social and environmental challenges? And how can reflecting on the theme of ancestry illuminate our philanthropic practice? Through Daniel Mundurku's experience, we will examine these question in depth, seeking greater self-understanding in order to guide our social actions.

He studied Philosophy, History and Psychology at the Centro Universitário Salesiano de São Paulo (UNISAL) and received his master's and doctorate in Education from the University of São Paulo and a postdoctoral degree in Linguistics from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). He is the CEO of Instituto Uk'a - Casa dos Saberes Ancestralis, a non-proft publishing company that enables publications of experienced indigenous authors, as well also non-indigenous authors who write about topics that contribute to society's understanding indigenous peoples struggles, their values, knowledge and culture.

Event 3: GPC LatAm Gathering

Members from Brazil and other Latin American countries will share a special event focused on intergenerational dialogue within philanthropy. This opportunity will allow attendees to update themselves even further on what is occuring in the filed of philanthropy, deepen their connections with other social investors, and share challenges and lessons learned. As Latin Americans facing similar struggles, peer exchange in our region is critical and there is certainly much to be shared.
