Cross-Fellowship Networking Breakfast: hosted by Atlantic Institute & The Bloom
About the event
Fellowships play an important role in the global social impact ecosystem. They connect leaders across countries, sectors and causes, creating communities and relationships that often continue long after the formal programme ends.
During UNGA and Climate Week, fellows and alumni from programmes around the world will be gathering in New York. The Cross-Fellowship Networking Breakfast will bring these communities together for storytelling, meaningful conversation and new connections across fellowship networks.
What to expect
A relaxed, relationship-focused networking breakfast featuring:
The Bloom Impact Stage: Fellows and alumni from each participating fellowship community will have the opportunity to take the stage and share a short story about their work, current projects, impact, and the collaboration or support they are seeking. The Bloom will select speakers from across the participating communities, record their spotlights, and continue amplifying their work and needs through The Bloom’s wider community and media channels—creating the opportunity to reach an audience of close to 100,000 people.
Story-led networking: The stories shared on stage will shape the conversations that follow, giving participants a natural way to connect around specific needs, shared interests, and practical opportunities to collaborate.
Cross-fellowship networking: Time to meet fellows and alumni beyond your existing community and explore shared interests, challenges, and opportunities.
The networking breakfast is designed to help participants move beyond exchanging names, organizations, and job titles—and toward meaningful conversations about what they are working on, what they need, and how they might support one another.
