Membership Discover what it means to be part of the Fabo community

The Fabo Learning Community

Fabo is a global learning community and digital platform made for and by civil society organisations.
We support changemakers by making it easy to create, share and take part in meaningful learning experiences.

Whether you are designing training, building capacity in your organisation, or supporting others to grow, Fabo gives you the tools and support you need to make learning engaging, reflective and action-oriented.

Fabo is more than just a platform, it’s a collaborative network. By joining, you become part of a community where we support each other, share responsibilities, and learn together. The strength of Fabo comes from its members. Together, we shape the future of learning in civil society.

Why join Fabo?

By NGOs, for NGOs

Based in an NGO, Fabo works with unique operational and strategic knowledge. We have first-hand knowledge and understanding of NGO learning needs. Our members get invaluable peer support from likeminded practitioners.

Cost-friendly

Our model is based on solidarity and shared responsibility. All NGOs, despite size and turnover, should have access to learning technology. Working together, sharing costs and resources mean that we can all benefit from the technology and know-how.

Customisable platform

Create and manage your own branded online learning
space! Why reinvent the wheel? We offer customisable solutions to fit your requirements. You build on existing learning resources and customise material to your organisational needs.

Ongoing personal support

Regular follow-ups and check-ins are part of the membership. We provide support for technical questions and general guidance on using the platform. We also offer guides on content creation and deliver customised support tailored to individual projects.

Activities and collaboration

Members participate in working groups and a dedicated forum, fostering ongoing dialogue and knowledge sharing. We encourage member-to-member collaborations, and keep the community up-to-date with our newsletter.

Members benefits

The process

Getting to know one another and finding common ground. In this preliminary discussion we will be able to identify synergies and illustrate the framework of the community to provide you with a more in-depth picture of what Fabo membership entails.

This phase involves the legal process of signing the Fabo Charter. After payment of the membership and one-time investment fees, you complete an online membership form. Your organisational account will be created and various roles will be identified within your team to ensure ownership of the learning agenda.

To help you get started, you will be invited to an introductory workshop, followed by onboarding sessions covering Fabo’s key functionalities and practical recommendations. We also encourage you to join our monthly sessions, community events, and member meet-ups

We are highly dependent on our members for collaboration, sharing and connecting. You will be invited to join communities of practice on the digital platform and be encouraged to take part in collaborative projects and working groups with other members.
