Nya vägar för filantropin i Sverige
10:10
Morning Keynote: A Global Overview of Philanthropy
Som en följd av den tekniska utvecklingen har nya former av filantropi snabbt kommit att utvecklas. Allt fler aktörer inom näringslivet engagerar sig i projekt och processer som skapar mervärde både för företaget och kunderna. Samarbeten mellan aktörer från civilsamhället, näringslivet och det offentliga uppstår. “Crowdfunding” beskrivs som ett nytt fenomen, men är kanske bara en version av den folkhemsfilantropi som länge präglat svenskt givande? Panelen diskuterar nya vägar för givande och hur det påverkar Sverige. Tove Lifvendahl, författare, och politisk chefredaktör på Svenska Dagbladet Aurore Belfrage, Techentreprenör och medgrundare av Wrapp.com Martin Borgs, författare och opinionsbildare, med egen erfarenhet av “crowdfunding” Hannah Hallin, koordinator för social hållbarhet på H&M

Philanthropy 2.0: Educating the Next Generation of Givers
Keynote speaker Alex Buffett Rozek Education and philanthropy are evolving. At the same time philanthropy is benefiting from increased access to information, from the donors to the recipients. As a result, inefficiencies are being reduced thereby increasing the purchasing power of each philanthropic dollar. The Learning by Giving Foundation is a platform to think critically about effective charitable giving. This benefits society because it increases the purchasing power of finite resources and helps a generation of thoughtful givers think about how to make the biggest impact with their time and resources.
