The role of a Learning Facilitator

A peer learning initiative may arise organically from a collective, but often it is sparked by an individual person or organization. However it may start, it can only be sustainable when there is a sense of collective ownership with multiple people feeling responsible for the group´s development over time.

Fostering learning and innovation in a fragmented ecosystem

Currently, migration is heavily focused on securitization, often isolated from other societal issues.

Relational approaches in philanthropy

In exploring new forms of collaboration, we and our partners have found great potential in “relational approaches.” This concept focuses on building trust-based relationships that create space for emergence: unplanned effects resulting from interactions within complex systems. These effects could provide us with the innovative means needed to advance transformation.

How the topic of "learning" has shaped and continues to shape our work at iac Berlin and with our partners.

Activity Report 2024

At iac Berlin, we often engage with complex challenges for which there is no ready-made solution—no established path to follow or predefined method that guarantees success. We meet these situations with a mindset of knowing that we don’t know. Our interventions are deliberately explorative and experimental, allowing us to gradually gain a deeper understanding of the problem and its interdependencies. That’s why the Activity Report 2024 looks at our work through the lens of learning—highlighting what we tried, what worked, and what we could do better.
