Philea Forum 2023

mayo 23, 2023 - mayo 25, 2023

Philea Forum 2023

The Philea Forum 2023 will take place in Šibenik from 23- 25 May, hosted by the National Foundation for Civil Society Development – Croatia.

 

How philanthropy can play a role in the Europe we want?

If you don’t know in which direction you are sailing, then no wind is favourable. Faced with myriad maelstroms from climate change to social inequity:

  • What kind of Europe do we want, and need?
  • What direction should it be heading?
  • How can philanthropy play a role in steering it with a value- and principles-based approach?

Europe may have an inherently geographic character, but increasingly it is defined by its ideals, values and principles. We often refer to “European values” or the “European way of life”. But do we give sufficient thought to how we define and live up to these values, or how we protect them when they are under threat?

 

Discussing today challenges

The Philea Forum 2023 will transport more than 700 delegates to the heart of the Euro-Mediterranean region to discuss what such values mean to us, and how philanthropy can use them as compasses to navigate today’s challenges around:

  • Climate, democracy and equality.
  • The critical role of education and the countdown to the SDGs.

The Forum will provide a diverse and inclusive space for extending the dialogue on how to shape a forward-looking Europe, from international, regional and local perspectives.

Amid the compounding:

  • Crises of the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • Climate change.
  • Inequality fuelled by an energy and cost of living crisis.
  • Mounting tensions between civilisations and worldviews.

The world today is at an inflection point. If, in the words of Jean Monnet, “Europe will be forged in crises and will be the sum of the solutions adopted for those crises”, what kind of Europe are we heading towards?

 

The role of the Philanthropic Community

Ten years after the accession of Croatia to the EU, the philanthropic community will come together to assess how it can contribute to creating the Europe we need. And for the world we want – and this against the backdrop of the most important war on the continent in generations; ahead of the second “SDG Summit”. Marking the mid-point in the implementation of the 2030 and one year before the EU elections.

Cross-cutting themes of key interest to the philanthropic community will inform conversations. The programme will be structured around four functional tracks of crucial importance for philanthropy today and tomorrow. This functional approach will allow for a critical analysis of how philanthropy can fully play its part.
