Bridging Movements: Knowledge, Networks, and Next-Gen Leadership
The Conam Global Fellowship Exchange 2026 is a 10-day fully sponsored international gathering of changemakers, scholars, activists, and human rights defenders from across the world. Held during Canada’s Pride Month, this event goes beyond traditional conferences — it is an immersive learning and collaboration experience where participants co-create innovative solutions for inclusion, equality, and sustainable development. Over 10 dynamic days, participants will engage in workshops, mentorship sessions, cross-regional collaborations, and global networking opportunities that ignite long-term partnerships and amplify impact. Send your sponsorship application on info@conamcharitablefoundation.org. The program highlights are as below:
1. Fellowship Cohorts
Participants will be placed into regional cohorts (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East) to encourage shared learning and collaboration.

Advocacy & Policy Influence
Leadership & Governance
