Encuentro 5

Encuentro 5 is organized by Massachusetts Global Action (MGA) and TecsChange: Technology for Social Change.

As e5 is in transition, its core functions are being re-organized and allocated across several venues with a core facility that will host partners and their small meetings.

MGA has theorized about this in several places after reflecting on its experiences and practices:

MGA sees e5 as embodying its notion of how multi-organizational collaboratives and social movements emerge.

e5 brings together organizations from diverse sectors, fostering an ongoing exchange of skills and experiences. With physical space for offices and a core technology infrastructure, e5 allows a pooling of resources so organizations can focus more on their programs. e5's event room provides a much-needed venue for cultural and political programming to help attract and inspire new people to our movement. For strategic emerging projects, e5 provides initial resources to help ensure early success.
