Event > Talk
Too often the word “lobbying” is referred as to big corporations influencing the elected representatives. Yet, lobbying can also be a useful and democratic tool that citizens should use to advocate for their cause and influence politicians in their governments between elections.
More than ever, we need resilient human beings able to navigate the complexity of this difficult situation for the foreseeable future.
This is a unique opportunity to meet Ashoka Fellow Alberto Alemanno, the visionary founder of The Good Lobby, to discover how lobbying can be a disruptive and democratic tool, learn more about how civil society can support the work of NGOs, and how to rethink systems and lobbying at times of unprecedented uncertainty.
The talk will take place on May 4th, between 4 and 5.30 PM.
The agenda is as follows:
- Introducing The Good Lobby
- How COVID19 affects NGO’s advocacy work?
- The Good Lobby’s free Matchmaking between pro bono partners and NGO’s: how can civil society support the work of NGOs at times of unprecedented uncertainty?
- Q&A and Closing remarks
