In November 2017 Beyond Us hosted a dynamic training event for community leaders to reimagine charity in ways that will lead to real and lasting change.
Lead by Dr. Shawn Duncan with the Lupton Center, this workshop shared principals of ensuring that the charity provided is not harming those it serves but helping them to flourish and covered:
- The reasons why traditional charity paradigms are not working
- The principles of responsible charity
- The framework of charitable efforts & where change must begin
What makes the Reimagine Charity Seminar unique?
Community-driven: At this event, people sit at tables interacting, listening, sharing, and learning together. The power to transform the paradigm for charity is in the partners already present in your community. We want to facilitate that transformative exchange of ideas.
Research-based: The material that we present and the exercises we facilitate are based on our own experience in this work, continual research, and partnerships with innovative organizations around the country.
