InHive Podcast Series, IN-ME-NET

The IN–MI-NET project seeks to shift the European-centric view on the experiences of migration and settlement, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and refugees in conversation with one another on diverse topics related to social networks and migration.

We are currently fundraising for the whole series. If you are interested in supporting the podcast through funding, being a guest, or nominating someone you think might be interested in being a guest, please contact the Nexus Team.

One of the number one questions network leaders ask themselves revolves around how technology can support their work. But more often than not the platforms we end up adopting remain dormant, facilitating few connections and reaching only a fraction of our community members. This lively, interactive discussion explored important questions like: - How can technology help expand and deepen relationships within our communities and networks? - How can open and accessible data enable more self-organized connections, decision-making, and impact? - How can we be more inclusive through our technologies, considering the diverse contexts, needs, and languages of our community members? - How can we spark more interconnectivity and collaboration across communities and networks? With ead thinkers and specialists in network technology, including: - Ari Sahagún: Movement Network Ecologist, Independent - Emil Manuel Vincentz: Founder, Acter - Kennedy Miruka: Network Activation Manager, Future First Kenya - Pixie Cigar: Director of Online Communities, Teach for All - Margaux Pelen: Cofounder and CEO, SuperHive.is
Leveraging Technology in Communities and Networks
Organizations that employ a network or community approach all face the same never-ending challenge: fundraising! For this session series, we are bringing together two great network leaders to share their network fundraising "pitch" in front of a panel of funders. After engaging in Q&A, funders then provide feedback as to how the network leaders can hone their fundraising message – followed by a dialogue around how funders can also adapt their own practices to be more receptive to network-based models and approaches. Network Leaders Rachel Sinha: Co-Founder & Director , The Systems Sanctuary Shireen Rizvi: Founder and CEO, Medhavi Association Funders Panel Katie Davies: Program Manager, Strategic Network, Ignite Philanthropy: Inspiring the End to Violence Against Girls and Boys Shireen Zaman: BUILD Program Officer, Ford Foundation Joe Collins: Chief Innovation Officer, The Philanthropy Workshop

Building Purpose-Built Communities

This course is designed to equip you with the basic knowledge and skills on how to engage and manage your communities and networks. We strongly believe in networks and communities that are purpose-built, a deliberate human network for positive social and environmental change.

The course framework will help you design a purpose-built community and give you the tools to start building your network. Some of the tools focus on helping you become aware of the primary concepts, processes, activities, “Dos” and “Don’ts,” to help  build your network and communities to achieve long-term success and impact.
