HUMANs Solidarity Summit

media release: Our June Solidarity Summit has taken shape!

We're excited to present a lean, mean(ingful) program for this one.

First session Saturday 6/14 at 12noon CDT is the welcome/overview/get-to-know-each-other session which will also be the time for you to share your work and make plans to stay in touch with others in the future. Get inspired and prepared by checking out this map of Summit participants, and add yourself if you're not already there.

Second session Saturday 6/14 at 2pm CDT our newest HUMANs Board member, Dr. Thamina Anwar, will present on two very relevant and replicable models in Islamic finance - the Waqf and Islamic entrepreneurship. Learn how they work and how any group or project might replicate them.

The third and last session will be Sunday 6/15 at 12noon CDT: Innovative cooperative models for financing seriously affordable and accessible housing. At least three of our partner sites are exploring and/or have experience in very innovative ways to collaborate to create real housing solutions in difficult circumstances. We'll hear from our partners in Madison WI, Ljubljana Slovenia, and Oxford Ohio about hopes, dreams, ideas, models, and ways forward to implementation. Join us! Share your own dreams and models, and generate more possibilities together.
