OPENING PANEL REFLECTION
In November 2018, ECFC members attended an in-depth study tour in Honolulu examining the way that culture and language is a cornerstone of program design, among many other lessons. ECFC Members Isabelle Hau and Vinice Davis, from Omidyar Network, reflected on lessons from the Hawaii trip in the blog: EC in the state of Hawai’i – Inspiring Focus on Cultural Equity, Inter-generational change, System Change and Most Underserved Children.
On March 13th, our opening panel reflected on our DC deep dive using themes from the Omidyar reflection blog. [read the blog]
