As we have done for the last few years, Alliance has put together a team of bloggers to report from the European Foundation Centre’s 2018 Conference to be held 29-31 May in Brussels. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Culture Matters – connecting citizens and communities’.

Taking place during the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage, the 29th EFC AGA and Conference will be a cornerstone of Philanthropy Week – a series of exhibitions, sessions and site visits.

Our team this year includes some seasoned Alliance bloggers and some new writers:

• Anja Stanitzke, VolkswagenStiftung
• Anna Striethorst Ariadne, European Funders for Social Change and Human Rights
• Ines Chaalala, Philanthropic Foundations of Canada
• Neal Hegarty, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation
• Ozen Pulat, Sabanci Foundation
• Sabine Deboosere, King Baudouin Foundation
• Suzana Mihalic, Fundación Barrié
• Yvonne Moore, Moore Philanthropy

Poll winner announced

Last week Alliance ran a poll asking our readers which session they would most like covered. We will be covering the winner soon: ‘SDGs – Working together to advance a culture of peace and prosperity.’

We look forward to sharing our impressions with you over the next few days and in the days following the conference.
