Welcome to Virtual Collaborate


Join Collaborate right where you are. Since 2020, Collaborate has a virtual format and – without costly travel expenses – allows all global networks to attend, participate and speak into CAFO’s projects impacting your communities. Retaining all of the benefits of growing together, the virtual Collaborate experience features virtual environments set up for learning, discussing, and brainstorming together.

Live Zoom Sessions

November 16th, 2023

LEARN
November 15, 2023



During these key topic presentations hosted via Zoom, invited speakers cover best practices or key points through lecture/presentation, panel discussions, or live interviews. Audience interaction occurs through polls, chat, and Q&A.

DISCUSS
November 16, 2023



During these facilitated discussions via Zoom, trained facilitators lead small group discussions with identified goals. After the small group discussions, the attendees are brought back into the larger meeting room and each small group will present their results to the overall group. These results will be the foundation for future “Thought Leadership from Collaborate” resources.

FIRESIDE CHAT
November 29, 2023




Fireside Chats are held 2 weeks after the Learn event. Fireside chats are Open discussions, via Zoom, for network leaders to share how they intend to implement the ideas into their network strategy/projects/campaigns. This is intended to be a more informal “living room/around a fire” discussion, allowed to progress as appropriate for those in attendance to have time and ability to share.

What to Expect from the Virtual Experience


A connected community of global advocates


Virtual Collaborate gathers member networks of the CAFO Global Network and other global advocates to share and collaborate on strategies to develop movements and engage local churches in orphan care.

Thought-Leadership from the global community.


Collaborate attendees discuss foundational building blocks of best practices and the latest research to wisely guide regional/national orphan care networks. Collaborate discussions provide the foundation for curated and published Thought Leadership from Collaborate resources that can be used to impact the local communities in which our members serve.

Continued development to better serve your emerging network


Collaborate gathers effective groups to work together on CAFO Global Network projects and objectives to benefit the global movement. Our mission is to continue development of attendees’ leadership skills to better serve their emerging/growing networks.
