The Capacity Building Working Group of the European Network for Citizen Initiatives in Global Solidarity (ENfCIGS) recently came together for an energetic and reflective session on decolonization—a theme that continues to gain relevance across European civil society. Representatives from more than ten countries shared experiences, challenges, and emerging practices on how organisations can more consciously shift power and work towards more equitable partnerships.
The meeting opened on a hopeful note, with participants reflecting on the sources of optimism that guide their work: community engagement, nature, solidarity in everyday life, and signs of positive change within their organisations. This grounding exercise helped set the tone for a conversation that was both honest and forward‑looking.
The meeting was co-chaired by the Collective Leadership Institute (Germany) and Fundusz Partnerstwa (Poland).
