Our events
The VCS Emergencies Partnership has a well-established programme of online events that run throughout the year. We are continually developing a programme, based on feedback, that supports partners to connect, share learning, and build our collective understanding of the capabilities required in preparedness, response and recovery.
While there are shared values across our delivery areas, each event has its own focus:
Capability Building Events - Share and learn with others the skills you need to prepare for emergencies. We focus on creating the space to learn from others in the Partnership through speakers and small discussion groups. Explore how we can tackle emerging and existing challenges together.
Network Calls - Listen to the latest updates and news from across the Partnership. We invite central government and policymakers along with experts from within our network to share and, most importantly, to hear your questions and feedback.
Regional Knowledge and Insight Exchange - Make friends before you need them. Our regional calls are the space to build connections across places and communities of interest. We focus on developing local solutions to shared problems, creating space for partners to share knowledge and insight on common aspects, lessons and themes. The approaches to these topics could be through regional tabletop exercises to build our understanding of emergencies and each other or through breakout spaces convening by partner type, geographical area (urban, rural, coastal), or communities of interest.
