"Everything was at the highest level. I am really grateful that the program was balanced and included not only a training block, but also recreation, socialization, networking and informal communication. That's why it's also 10 out of 10."

"CLPU 2025 was an outstanding programme and it is not similar to any other programme I had taken part in. Its value is in its practical applicability. Everything learnt can and will be transformed into life."

"This program isn’t just a great learning experience — it’s like a mini master’s degree for those who live and breathe their NGO work."

"It was an exceptional combination of learning, connecting with inspiring and like-minded people, and experiencing a true emotional reset. This is one of the best programs I have ever taken part in."

“The diversity of the group was very valuable. After many years in the civic sector, I needed something new. Participants with business backgrounds brought fresh perspectives, ideas, and energy that inspired me to see things differently and apply new strategies in my work.”
