Responding to urgent needs takes more than just strategy—it takes creativity, collaboration and shared values. To this end, GHR Foundation is investing in five BridgeBuilder Challenge Top Ideas with more than just financial support. Earlier this month in Rome, we hosted a workshop with OpenIDEO to enhance tangible and intangible skills that will accelerate their work and learning. For three days, our five Top Idea organizations worked alongside GHR, OpenIDEO and each other to find opportunities to learn, share and amplify their potential.
The workshop was designed to allow the cohort to learn about each other’s work and “build bridges” across projects; provide tools and knowledge that will help carry impact further; dig into the learning they hope to achieve through the projects; and foster a community of allies who will challenge and support each others' work. By identifying shared principles that guide the cohort and drawing energy from the potential of these ideas, the group managed to leave with new relationships based on values, ambition and collaboration.
Each of our Top Idea organizations has devoted time, creativity and effort into building bridges and making our world a better place. This convening marks the celebration of how far they've come and the start of their journey as the first BridgeBuilder cohort. We appreciate their thoughtfulness and ingenuity as they push us to think differently. Together, we hope to keep learning and building as we chart the course for this community’s continued impact.
