It's very valuable in terms of content, but also in terms of collaboration. I truly enjoyed being among 25 people who have a vision or mission to change the world for a better place. It was truly inspiring!
Participant of Social Innovation and Management Programme
What sets the NGO Academy apart is its genuine focus on relevance and interactivity. This isn't just another workshop. It's a space where NPO/NGO professionals come together to learn, collaborate, and find inspiration to overcome the challenges we face every day.
Participant of the Regional Programme
I have been working in the civil sector for 30 years. I have to admit that in all this time I have never felt the support and recognition that NGO leaders have received in the last couple of months during the Social Innovation and Management Program of the NGO Academy in Vienna. We had great professors and experts with decades of relevant experience to support us to become better leaders and civil sector boosters in our countries.
