In May 2023, the IFS joined forces with the French Federation of Social Centers to host a monumental event—the IFS Conference International  and the French Federation’s Congress in Lille, France. Attracting over 4,000 participants from around the world, this conference was a celebration of global collaboration, innovation, and community engagement.

We’re excited to share an exclusive video featuring two of the presenters from University Settlement in New York who had the privilege of attending and presenting at this remarkable event. They bring you their unique perspectives, capturing the essence and impact of this gathering.

Join us in reliving the energy, ideas, and connections that emerged during the IFS Conference ’23. Click below to watch Barbara DiGangi and Kadisha Gordon’s insights and see the world through their eyes.
