The third edition of Connecting for Non-Formal Education 2025, organized by the eematico Association, once again brought together more than 85 participants in Bucharest from October 9–10.
To help civil society organizations become more resilient, sustainable, and less dependent on public funding, it is essential to develop knowledge and skills in attracting private resources. With this goal in mind, the workshop “Empowering NGOs for Impactful Fundraising” organized by HUKI took place on October 14th-16th in Zagreb.
Earlier in September Viitor Plus organized the event “Successful Collaborations Between NGOs and Companies Interested in CSR” in Sibiu. Over two days, social entrepreneurs and business representatives discussed how purchasing decisions can become a real tool for positive impact and long-term sustainability. The event’s mission was clear: to build genuine bridges between the social economy and the corporate sector.
From June 19 to 20, 2025, Polylogos hosted the workshop “From Idea to Impact: Project Design, Implementation and Evaluation”, a dynamic two-day training in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. This Community-Led Event brought together 20 dedicated participants from Romania and Moldova.
From May 21 to 22, 2025, more than 86 participants from Albania, Kosovo, Romania, Moldova, and beyond gathered in Tirana for the International Conference on Best Practices and Challenges in Safeguarding within Civil Society Organizations in South-Eastern Europe. Organized by Nisma ARSIS and Terre des hommes, this regional Community-Led Event created an essential space for reflection, exchange, and action on safeguarding.
In October, our member organization eematico invited to their second Community-Led Event, “Connecting for Non-Formal Education,” in Bucharest.
NGO Academy Member Organisation City of Women already hosted their second Community-Led Event. It was a 2 day deep dive into burnout prevention in the NGO sector, a topic we do not talk about enough. Read all about the event here.
Inclusivity and accessibility are increasingly familiar terms, but for many people they still only mean physical accessibility. The Skilly team created two training formats within this Community-Led Event in order to strengthen the inclusive mindset in the NGO Academy community.
This Community-Led Event united civil society actors through the power of arts and culture. “Tito’s bunker”, a hidden historic treasure located in Konjic, Bosnia and Hercegovina, was the scene and starting point of a two-day experience, showcasing Bosnian history, cultural heritage and contemporary art.
How can we deepen the participation of the members, employees of our organizations and increase the effectiveness of our work at the same time? Finding
