Bescy Global South Group - Launch Event
We’re excited to launch the Bescy Global South Group! This group is envisioned as a transformative space within Bescy — not just representing the Global South geographically, but rebalancing the centre of behavioural sciences by elevating voices, methods, and leadership from the region. Rather than adapting Global North approaches to new contexts, this group aims to create and champion knowledge originating from the Global South.
Join us on Thursday, 22 May 2025 at 4pm CET for a panel discussing behavioural science in the Global South-what works, challenges, and how to amplify local voices. Hear from experts across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America on the importance of context and culture. Don't miss out!
Our panelists:
Fadi Makki – Founder, Nudge Lebanon
Monica Wills Silva - Director, International Programmes, BIT
Pavan Mamidi, Director, Centre for Social and Behaviour Change, Ashoka University, India
Osasuyi Dirisu, Chief Executive Officer, Policy Innovation Centre, Nigerian Economic Summit Group
Moderated by Ammaarah Martinus, Co-President Bescy
