A month of exploration, celebration and forward-thinking!
The Unearthodox Learning Festival, held throughout October 2023, showcased Unearthodox's three featured projects: The Future of Conservation NGOs, Digital Disruption and the Future of Conservation, and The Future of Philanthropy for Biodiversity.
Through a series of webinars, panel discussions, and publications, the Festival connected the different initiatives to provide a holistic overview of possible futures for conservation practices.
It provided a forum for networking and collaboration, where participants engaged with sector peers, defined practical steps, and nurtured innovative ideas.
The Festival included five online learning events.

In this session we delved into practical aspects of diversity, equity and inclusivity. Together we uncovered actionable ideas: How can we operationalise diversity and inclusivity within conservation NGOs? What policies and approaches are needed? What do we need to do differently?
