How To Plan Successful Virtual Meetings | The Youth Cafe

In April 2020, three advocacy organizations, The Youth Cafe, Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) and Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF), hosted a series of three teach-ins on organizing virtual meetings, centered around three kinds of skills to grow together. These were: 1) Planning meetings: accessibility & methodology; 2) Logistics: nuts & bolts of software; 3) Digital safety. In this toolkit, we have included the tools discussed during the three teach-ins as well as other tools requested by the participants. We hope you’ll find it useful!
