Thank you for connecting with us at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks this year, both in-person and online.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our stand and joined our sessions. It was inspiring to engage with many current and new Kaya learners, current and incoming Kaya partners, young people, students, humanitarians, development organisations and professionals from many parts of the world. We held critical conversations from Localising LGBTQIA+ Research in Crisis to Reimagining Leadership: Feminist Approaches to Transforming the Humanitarian and Development Sectors, Leading with New Consciousness in Times of Polycrisis and Emerging Futures, Harnessing Collective Energy: Convening Your System for Greater Potential, as well as on the evolving roles of AI and Youth Leadership in shaping the future of humanitarian action.
We express special gratitude to our guest speakers and partners for sharing their insights and experiences, making our discussions richer and more impactful. Thank you also to partners who invited us to share insights in their sessions.
We hope that as our conversations evolve to collection action, we continue to positively impact the communities we exist to support.
If you missed any sessions or want to revisit key insights, you can watch some of the recordings in the HNPW 2025 playlist on our YouTube channel.
