The States of Change Learning Festival, held from 1-19 June 2020, involved 40 online sessions taking place over three weeks, involving over 1600 participants from 78 countries and presenters from 15 cities. It was an opportunity to take stock of the things being seen during the crisis, but in a playful and creative way. It was intended as both a global conversation around different experiences and a ‘container’ for sensemaking, an opportunity to hold a collective space open for all the things rapidly occurring. Recordings of the online events are available on the Learning Festival website.

Through their Learning Festival, States of Change is a member of the 2020 After Shock Dialogues Network, and a report capturing key insights from the event series is available here. An associated blog post is available here.
