The Kolping Academy for Social Leaders

The Vice-President of our Shtetl Mszana Dolna Foundation, Marek Rekucki, took part in the Kolping Academy for Social Leaders training, run by the Central Association of the Kolping Work in Poland. The participants were people working in various types of NGOs from all over the country, and the objective was to broaden their competences. There were 8 training sessions: stationary in Krakow and Poronin, and online. The entire course included 120 hours of classes in three areas of support: PERSON-COMMUNITY-WORK. Topics covered included: management of the organisation and its environment, strategic planning and team leadership, promotion, communication and image, tools and methods of fundraising, formal, legal and financial aspects, functioning of a social organisation. The conclusion of the Academy took place on 17-19 May in Krakow and Poronin. Participants who completed the Academy received appropriate certificates. We hope that the effort put into the training will result in even better work and greater effectiveness in our activities.
