Beyond Digital Fundraising. Building Power Online That Creates Change

Short summary:

Organisations need to think beyond traditional digital fundraising to attract large-scale public support and drive action. This session advocates for a digital mobilisation approach to inspire the public to contribute their time, money, and voice.

Full description:

The session emphasises that people possess power, and organisations have a responsibility to help them use it to change the world. Organisations globally have utilised digital techniques to catalyse or harness the energy of existing movements to achieve desired change.
