Our Education Program
Part of Pangea's mission is to inform ourselves and others about global development issues and about effective grantmaking practices.
Each year, we host or co-sponsor a variety of programs. Some programs relate to our focus for the year. Others deepen our understanding of a country or region where we work. Many introduce us to innovative solutions for common development problems. Through these programs, which are open to the public, we hope to create awareness of international issues and inspire increased international giving.
We also offer a variety of informal opportunities for learning--through film viewings, pod meetings with partners or potential partners, and discussions about books or special interests.
In the last year, we've presented programs on women as change agents, leadership development, sustainability, and the refugee crisis in Burma. Past programs considered topics such as human trafficking, the global food crisis, clean water, grassroots economic development, microfinance, land rights, AIDS orphans, and working in the midst of civil unrest.

Gender Workshop
In late 2010, as part of our year-long focus on women as change agents, we held our first overnight educational event. The workshop, titled Grantmaking with a Gender Lens, opened our eyes to aspects of gender and implications of equality that most of us had never considered.
