Improving lives requires
people working together.

By hosting diverse people and groups in co-creating a better future we can create real lasting systemic change. Creating change requires a collaborative spirit with shared decision-making, shared resources, and shared accountability.

COOPERATING

 In addition, sharing resources (e.g., staff, finances, space,

instrumentation)

COLLABORATING
In addition, learning from each other to enhance each other’s capacity
