Community Organisers For Social Sustainability

Aims & objectives

The training had the purpose to give Coaching tools for people working in Community organzing activties. The needs came from the fact that in many countries accross Europe, there is a lack of community spirit and engagement and the training, which was one of 3 trainings from this project, aimed to support that. The training is on the same path with the Organization's goals, since the organizations is working with Community organizers in Constanta, being a link between parts of civil society and the decision makers on the public and political side.
