What are Anticipation Hub community conversations? 

This webinar series aims to enable continuous connectivity, interaction and exchange between Anticipation Hub partners and the wider community of anticipatory action actors from global to local levels. The objectives are to:

  • create a structured space for the anticipatory action community to exchange new ideas and innovation
  • bridge connections between practitioners, scientists and policy-makers/government actors, especially between the global, regional, national and local levels
  • facilitate opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and exchange between actors championing anticipatory action, especially with governments
  • meet the changing needs, priorities and interests of the Anticipation Hub's partners through a flexible approach that encourages open, honest and critical discussions
  • help the community to grow by creating a welcoming and inclusive space for new actors interested in the anticipatory action agenda.

Community conversations are jointly organized by the Anticipation Hub and its partners.
