Ford Foundation Global Digital Privacy Rights

For three years at Spitfire, I partnered with the Ford Foundation to support digital rights across the globe supporting the Ford Foundation’s international portfolio of grantees and partners within the International Technology & Society program. this included providing meeting design and facilitation to help build the field of global tech leaders, social justice and technology-focused civil society organizations, and the donors that support them to navigate the ever-evolving intersection of human rights and technology. Through this partnership, I led the design and facilitation of dozens of virtual and in-person convenings across three continents with hundreds of leaders from around the globe.
Since 2020, I helped to convene eight virtual conferences (three in 2020, four in 2022 and one in 2023) for grantees. For all convenings, our team was responsible for the meeting design and facilitation. We build strategic and engaging agendas that allow participants to build personal relationships, explore new topics of professional interest, share peer learnings and collaborate together. To ensure the convening spaces reflect grantees’ needs and priorities, which is Ford’s primary goal, we created ongoing opportunities for grantees to contribute to the design of each meeting, including reviewing and providing input on agendas and real-time direction during meetings. For each meeting, we were also responsible for creating all supplementary materials and preparing the speakers. |
