www.efc.be/aga When we think of Milan, we think of… foundations! From 20 - 22 May 2015 the EFC will convene its 26th Annual General Assembly and Conference in one of Italy’s busiest cities, and host of World EXPO 2015 which will open on 1 May, a few weeks before our event. We chose Milan with its coinciding EXPO to enable us to create synergies between our flagship conference and the numerous events, organisations and people that EXPO 2015 will attract to the city. Closely paralleling the EXPO theme of “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”, our conference in 2015, “Philanthropy: Visions and Energy for Change”, will not only embrace the challenge of the sustainable development of our planet but will go beyond to also focus on youth, corporate engagement in social equality and community resilience. THE FOUR MAIN CONFERENCE AREAS ARE: Youth driving change How can philanthropy help harness the energy of tomorrow’s change-makers? What is our role in developing the necessary skills and opportunities for youth that will equip and inspire them to be drivers for sustainable development? Philanthropy, government and corporate engagement for social equality What can foundations do to promote more active collaboration between philanthropy, policy makers and corporate engagement to create social equality and sustainable change? Community resilience How can foundations help empower communities and enable them to become the drivers of their own sustainable development? Future of the planet… food for thought Scientific research, responsible innovation, sustainable development and food security – can the energy of foundations turn the sector’s vision into reality? NOT TO BE MISSED BY PEOPLE FROM: • All types of foundations that work at local, national, European and global levels • National and regional associations of funders • European Union and national policy and decision-making bodies • Citizen, multilateral and non-governmental organisations • Research centres, think thanks and universities • Storytellers, bloggers and the media SO WHAT NEXT? The conference will officially kick off from 10H30 on Wednesday 20 May, however several pre-conference events are scheduled to take place the preceding day. The conference will wrap up with a lunch on Friday 22 May from 13H00. Stayed tuned for more detailed scheduling on our website!
