When Networks Dance Together
At a moment when so much feels fractured, the Networks Festival offers a different kind of story.
Where joy fuels resilience.
Where trust is infrastructure.
And where organizing as networks is a strategy for change.
The Networks Festival is far more than just a collection of cutting-edge practice.
It’s about how we show up, relate to one another, and have the courage to lead with care.
Step into the dance – and co-create what's possible.
Why a Networks Festival?
Networks, movements, and networked organizations are driving deep change
Around the world, we experience their impact every day.
There is an incredible wealth of untapped knowledge and experience
Plenty of methods exist on leveraging collaboration and relationships for change.
But most leaders remain isolated – with more questions than answers
People feel in the dark. Resources are scarce. Going it alone is no longer possible.

FESTIVAL TRACKS
The Networks Festival is mixing it up!
Over the years, we’ve learned is that a single brilliant session is not always enough.
So this year, we’re experimenting with something new: small thematic journeys that allow us to return, deepen, and spark experimentation – or just help us us find the right people.
In other words: less one-off magic, more living threads.
This year's Festival tracks:
Evaluating impact in networks and movements
Mapping ripples of change
Collective organizing & decision-making
Tools and tech for networks
More equitable and just collaborations
Healing-centered leadership practices
Funding networks!
Don't wait – maximize your Festival journey!

Let's make the Festival sustainable
The Festival is a self-funded initiative. We want it to be accessible while also meeting our needs. This is why we use a gift economy approach, whereby we invite you to donate within capacity.
How much shall I contribute?
We ask you to "give the most you can without overstretching or resentment”. There are three donation tiers for each session and you can contribute when signing up.
Accessibility
0 to 30 €
Contribute what you can.
Sustainability
30 €
If everyone contributes this amount, we meet the sustainability needs of our team.
Supporter
45 € and above
Support others to attend and show your love for the organizers.
