How the Foundation delivers its work
The Dgroups Foundation delivers its work through a group of Associates, experienced professionals who collaborate with the Foundation to design, facilitate, and support collaboration and learning initiatives. Associates are engaged on a project basis, working individually or in multi-disciplinary teams. While they are independent practitioners, their work is guided by the Foundation’s shared principles, practices, and governance framework, with overall stewardship, coordination, and quality assurance provided by the Dgroups Foundation Board.
Our Associates
Associates bring expertise across areas such as online and hybrid facilitation, community and network building, knowledge management and learning design, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL), and digital platforms, tools, and workflows. Associates may also be affiliated with organisations or agencies whose capabilities complement the Foundation’s work.
