Fundraising is more than collecting money. This inter-

active lecture explores resource mobilization as a form of community engagement. Participants will reflect on concepts of giving, solidarity and mutual support across African and European contexts. Through impulse inputs and group work, participants will examine how values, relationships and local realities shape ethical and meaningful fundraising practices. The lecture is intended for students and learning communities, will be held in English, and is free of charge.
