Meeting in our humanity

Could it be as easy as that? Could we shed all structures and conventions and simply meet each other in our humanity and engage in exploring each other’s questions? Being a mirror to each other?

This week we spent a day with one of our partners, Tamkeen, exploring alternative ways of being in partnership beyond a traditional funder-grantee relationship. In particular, we wanted to explore how reporting could look like if it was not about a grantee reporting their progress to a funder, but about two equal partners coming together with an intent of joint learning.
