Participants selected for the inaugural EFC Philanthropic Leadership Platform: India-Europe 2021

A group of 19 philanthropy professionals from India and Europe have been selected for the Philanthropic Leadership Platform: India-Europe 2021, an EFC exchange programme aiming to enable participants to explore what’s next in philanthropy and learn from some of their most innovative peer organisations.

This peer exchange programme brings together 19 mid-level philanthropy professionals from India and Europe who will gather online to enhance their leadership skills by sharing with each other their knowledge, experience, creativity and concerns. It will become a space for peer-to-peer professional dialogue as well as a source of knowledge shared by external experts on the issues in focus.

The tailor-made programme will encourage fruitful connections between Indian and European philanthropic practitioners and improve their global competences.

The programme is jointly run by the EFC and Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) and funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), the Ford Foundation and Oak Foundation. Learn more about the Philanthropic Leadership Platform: India-Europe.
