ARIADNE'S GREAT RECONNECT 2022:

Part conference; part open space; part kitchen, salon, and reunion: you're invited to join Ariadne's Great Reconnect in Lille (26–28 April 2022). After two years of working in isolation, our community of social change and human rights funders will reconnect in person for long-awaited conversations. Since our last meeting in Belfast in 2019, we have dealt with the challenge of a global pandemic, heard powerful calls for racial justice, and been faced with growing evidence of the urgency of addressing climate change. How have we faced these changes and challenges, as funders and individuals? What lessons will make us better funders for this decade? What urgent conversations do our field and partners expect us to have? These three days will reconnect us as colleagues, friends, and thought partners. Places are limited. Register now!

Location and agenda:

The meeting will be held at Canopy - L'art de se réunir, located close to the city's famous Citadelle park, from 26th to 28th April 2022.

COVID-19 Policy:

We are committed to creating as safe an environment as possible for our members and guests and will therefore be asking that all participants take certain precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We ask you to please take a COVID test (a rapid lateral flow/antigen test is fine) within a day before the conference starts. If you are unvaccinated, we also ask that you test daily before attending the event.

Information about accessing tests in France can be found on our portal.

We will be making masks available and encourage all participants to wear them while in the venue or on site visits.

More information about French COVID requirements, including documentation to enter France can be found here.

Scholarship Fund:

Ariadne has created a scholarship fund to support conference participation by grant-makers with limited funds from Eastern and Southern Europe. We would be delighted if you felt able to contribute to this as part of the registration process. We hope you can contribute, each donation counts.

Recommendations for reasonably priced hotels within walking distance of the venue are available on the Ariadne portal (login required).

Full refunds will be given for cancellations received two weeks or more before the event. For cancellations received within two weeks of the event, no refunds will be made. If you do not attend the event, the full fee remains payable and no refund will be made.
