Global Perspectives
26 November
ICSC's Annual Online Conference
Highlight:
Thanks for joining us
At this year’s conference, we found ourselves navigating a world marked by increasing complexity, rapid change, and a growing sense of distrust. Trust has never been more essential, particularly for civil society organisations (CSOs), as they play a pivotal role in uniting communities and amplifying the voices of the most vulnerable. Amidst the rise of mis- and disinformation, and the disruptive power of A.I., we explored how CSOs can restore trust, counter harmful narratives, and adapt to new digital challenges.
Thanks for joining Global Perspectives, where unpacked these critical challenges head-on to build a fairer, and more inclusive future, together.

Concept
With the proliferation of mis- and disinformation, truth is more embattled than ever. The trust placed in civil society organisations to help solve the crises of today and the future is possibly our most valuable currency. Technological transformation is ever accelerating how we grapple with these issues. On 26 November, we invited you to join discussions and engagement opportunities on these core themes. We explored questions such as: How can civil society organisations strengthen information ecosystems and tackle mis- and disinformation? How can civil society actors develop narratives to counter anti-rights groups and foster hard-fought human rights? How can systems of trust and risk-sharing help deconstruct inefficient and colonial practices between donors and recipients? We look forward to an inspiring day of exchange.
