The EDGE Webinar 2019 is a series of three conversations collectively organised and planned by participants of the second Global Engagement Lab. The webinar series was inaugurated with an exploration of how systemic change philanthropy should look like, good practices and common challenges. It then continued with an analysis of how whiteness, white supremacy, and colonialism manifest in a global context. Finally, we looked at the future, delving into how alternative worldviews can help funders achieve their ultimate goal of a better world for all – of transformative change.
