We live in a connected world. We are more connected by technology, than at any other time in our history.
Yet we’re losing the human touch. We are losing our connection with each other. We are losing our connection with our friends, our families, our donors and even our politicians. Conversations with others are now diminished to 140 characters. Facebook is the standard. Television “sound bites” are directing global politics.
The NGO sector in Central and Eastern Europe and around the world, will not survive on sound bites. It will not survive on Facebook posts alone. We need conversation to survive and thrive.
As our connected world becomes disillusioned and divided by fear and hostile threats from our leaders, the NGO sector has an important role to play in renewing and reintroducing the art of conversation.
Tony Myers has spoken and worked on 5 continents around the world. For the past decade, he has concentrated his work in Central and Eastern Europe. Join Tony as he explores the reinventing the art of conversation and its role in fundraising and rebuilding civil society in the region.
