SMC Inspirational Day 2022

Stronger together!
– a network with belief in a better world

With international partners in over 50 countries, SMC is proud to be part of a fantastic network which puts faith in development. Our belief in a better world is at the core of our contribution to the global goals in Agenda 2030.

For this year’s Inspirational Day we will highlight what we as a network can achieve together over the next five years. We will share examples and experiences but also listen to invited speakers with expertise on topics like partnership and innovation, green transition, and virtual project visits.

Invitations have been shared with all our member organisations with instructions for them to also invite their partner organisations from around the globe.

Registration is open until February 1st.
