Community Conversations objectives 

The Anticipation Hub Community Conversations foster ongoing connectivity and exchange among partners and the wider anticipatory action community — from global to local levels. 

  • Enable open, flexible and relevant discussions that reflect partners’ evolving priorities. 
  • Provide an engaging and inclusive space for dialogue, co-creation and mutual learning - moving beyond one-way knowledge dissemination. 
  • Foster connections between practitioners, scientists and policymakers across all levels. 
  • Promote peer-to-peer exchange, particularly with governments and national actors championing anticipatory action. 
  • Welcome and integrate new actors into the anticipatory action community. 

Previous sessions are available on the Anticipation Hub YouTube channel

Audience 

  • Anticipation Hub partners at global, regional and national levels. 
  • The wider community of anticipatory action practitioners and interested newcomers 

Format & Organization 

  • Co-organized by the Anticipation Hub and a co-host (usually Hub partners). 
  • Each one-hour session focuses on a specific theme or emerging topic. 
  • Designed as an interactive space to exchange experiences, ideas and challenges - not just presentations. 
  • Co-hosts are encouraged to adapt the format to their needs, including panel discussions, breakout exchanges or open Q&A. 
  • Provide photos (with credits) and a ~150-word event description for the Hub’s event page. 
  • Confirm title, date and time early to enable timely promotion. 
  • Partners are encouraged to share materials through their own communication channels to boost visibility. 
  • Speaker details (name, organization, short bio, LinkedIn if available) should be shared for promotion
