How community foundations can turn conflict into conversation
25th of June, 11-12.30 CEST
Polarisation is increasingly shaping community life, straining relationships and weakening social cohesion. This ECFI online session explores how community foundations can play a constructive role in bridging divides and transforming conflict into opportunities for dialogue. Rooted in trust and local knowledge, community foundations are well placed to convene diverse voices, create safe spaces for exchange, and foster a culture of listening and mutual understanding. This session will highlight how these actors can help communities navigate differences and build stronger, more connected societies.
