What's success for us? Governance/accountability and performance/impact: a comparison between French and British third sector
The french invitation is available here.
In France it is called 'governance' and 'performance' while the UK refers to 'accountability' and 'leadership'. The third sector has developed different models in France and the UK, and uses different concepts in the two countries, but they are the pillars of success in both.
Euclid Network (EN) and CJDES invite you to attend a workshop that will gather leaders again in Paris, hosted by Credit Mutuel, to explore differences and communalities of these interlinked concepts starting with a comparison between the British and French models. The keynote speaker will be Irina Bokova, newly appointed Director General, UNESCO (TBC).
This event builds on the outcome of last year's Good Governance workshop and is is part of EN's programme on governance and leadership.
The outcomes of the day will help delegates to review and redraft the Paris Appeal - the manifesto of EN when EN launched in Paris in 2007.
The steering group will draft a discussion paper on these concepts with a comparative approach and circulate in advance.
The event will be hosted and catered by Credit Mutuel and is in a central location for those who are coming to Paris just for the day.
The event is free for all Euclid Network members.
Expected outcomes:
Delegates will have the opportunity to
- Discuss what makes success with colleagues form across Europe
- Identify differences and communalities in defining success between France and the UK
- Redraft the Paris appeal - the manifesto of EN
