One Ocean, One goal. How organisations can work together to create change.
In this presentation, Sea Shepherd explores why collaboration between charity organisations isn’t just possible, it’s essential! Event though groups often find themselves competing for donors, media attention and social engagement, that competition shouldn’t turn us in rivals.
Every org brings its own strengths, resources and perspectives to the table and when those are combined, the collective impact becomes far greater than what any one group can achieve alone.
Sea Shepherd will share case studies, showing how they have built strong partnerships with like-minded organisations, as well as sharing what might not have worked so well and inviting the audience to think about who they could reach out to form a network.
Our voices are more powerful together and by finding ways to connect, we can create real change.
