Practical Learning

Tap into collective wisdom to discover practices and techniques on running networks.

Weaving networks is hard work

In nearly every way – relationship, strategies, decisions, impact – networks are different than how we have been taught to work.

It can feel stressful, confusing, and overwhelming.

Luckily, you're not alone. 

Around the world, thousands every day are fostering deep, lasting change through networks, movements, and communities of practice.

And these individuals hold a vast reservoir of experience on HOW to do this work well.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel. You just need to find the right people to help you answer your questions.

Join the Fito Experience!

The Fito Network offers “how-to” spaces where network leaders and funders can address key questions and challenges they face in their collaborative work.

 

From big events like our Networks Festival, to small group experiences, we aim to leverage existing knowledge and best practice to help you find solutions to common issues.

​Whether you engage once a week or once a year, every Fito activity embeds the core of what we're about – connections, learning, and experimental play.

You can join when you please as a "Fito passenger", or choose to "dive deep" with us, building more intentional relationships and deepening your discovery.

No matter which path you choose, the relationships you develop will act as a “lifeline”, giving you an invaluable resource for future questions, ideas, and needs. 

Watch Fito co-creators explain our engagement pathways – and read more in our charter!
