    For those new to Marmalade and wondering what on earth we do... 👀 👇 Each year, we at the The Old Fire Station, Oxford produce the Marmalade Festival in partnership with Skoll World Forum / Skoll Foundation. Our aim is to help connect people from around the world with global/local, strategic/grassroots perspectives.  Our focus is systems change through the lens of people, power and place.  Over the years we have welcomed thousands to explore sessions ranging from interactive workshops to film screenings, networking events to campaign launches. Themes tend to be about the big issues facing our planet: climate, social justice, big tech, colonial legacy, impact measurement, funding and power. Marmalade has become a destination event with deep local roots and a global reputation. It is a warm space for people doing good locally, nationally and internationally to share ideas and find support and encouragement. We can't wait to welcome your applications to host a session... Watch this space!
