RECONNECT
Civil society must reconnect – with the people and communities we claim to serve.
At MEGAPHONE 2025 in Sarajevo, we’ll reflect on how activism can become more relevant by listening more, both in its traditional sense as well as using what technology can offer and aligning our work with what communities need.
Reconnecting means stepping out of our bubbles and building trust with those we may not always agree with, but who could become powerful allies in our cause.
REGROUP
Working in times of shrinking civic space, democracy backsliding, and shifting sands in terms of funding, we must seek to regroup – across sectors, generations of activists and regions.
MEGAPHONE 2025 will be a place to seek new alliances, share knowledge across movements, and learn from both mistakes and quiet (or loud) wins.
Solidarity is more than a word – it’s a daily practice that helps us stay resilient no matter what. Whatever we’re facing now — or will face in the future — one thing is clear: the only way through is together. Relying on each other. Working as a community.
REWIRE
To rewire means rethinking how we work. How can CSOs adapt their day-to-day work to avoid the traps of formality, break out of outdated routines and following a beaten path?
MEGAPHONE 2025 will spotlight practical tools and solutions – from online mobilizing to digital security and AI – alongside stories of activists who are redefining what effective, grounded, people-first activism can look like.
Whether you’re a CSO professional, grassroots organizer, or a digital activist, MEGAPHONE 2025 offers tools, skills, inspiration, and community to help you face whatever lies ahead of us – together.
