Decolonise Open Conference

What does a decolonised International Voluntary Service look like?
Join us for the Decolonise Open Conference!

The conference will take place in a hybrid format on Thursday, 23.11.2023 with the in-situ meeting taking place in Loutraki, Greece.

Together with International Voluntary Service organisations from around the world, we will deepen our understanding of one of the key issues in the decolonisation debate: how to share resources in an equitable way.

We have invited some interesting speakers from different corners of the world to discuss this topic with us. So, don’t miss out on this opportunity to go to the core of the Decolonisation debate with CCIVS members and our invited guests.
