Closing Keynote - Humanitarian Agility
summary
Laurent Sarrazin presents how his NGO Agility With No Borders applies agile culture and practices to humanitarian and social issues in France, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Cape Verde, focusing on youth employability, agile entrepreneurship for young people and adults in transition, women’s rural communities, and 21st-century skill development for children, teachers and social organisations. The approach combines dialogic methods—Solution-Focus coaching, narrative practices, host leadership, playful facilitation—and selected agile practices to increase participants’ ability to use these methods in their own work.
