[London] Facilitating an event for the Rainmaker Foundation

MH Manel Heredero Public Seen by 140

Recently Francesca came to London and met Cosmina Popa, from the Rainmaker Foundation. This foundation is an accelerator for nonprofits and there are three types of members in their network:

  1. The nonprofits themselves
  2. The donors
  3. The mentors (people who give training and mentoring for free)

The intention was to find a way of how OuiShare could help the Rainmaker Foundation, and we all agreed that facilitating an event for them seems like a good way to do this.

The idea is to put these people together (nonprofits, donors and mentors) for half-day / full-day and do all sorts of participatory exercises to increase connectivity and emergence of new ideas. End of October / early November. Around 60 people.

We talked about this project within the UK community (the Elenas, Bernie, Auli) and we all think is a good idea. There is not much budget but they are offering transport and accommodation budget for people who live abroad and want to help out. Get in touch if you want to participate :)

Hi all! I'm 200% into working more with "traditional" NGOs, I really see the potential of it. You mentioned that this might take place early Nov. I'm not free at this period, but let me know if I can help (ideas etc).

Oh I'm also super interested! What a great initiative, however, I'll be on the train to Munich at that time...

Hey Manel, thanks for the proposal :thumbsup: Would love to come if they can secure a round trip (from Paris and then back to Brussels, accommodation should be fine). I recently learned some new tricks from buddhist monks and I would love to try them out on a big group :)) Let me know !

@manel2017 if it happens to be anywhere between 28 Oct and 5 Nov, then I'm in!! #holidayweek
Another idea: maybe involve Tobias Hug?

We have had two meetings with the Rainmaker Foundation and we are slowly progressing. We produced a rough design of the session so we can all contribute, you can find it >>here<<
