Advocacy and organization of community actions

Krajina
Poland

The Partnership Academy is aimed at local leaders and activists working for the benefit of communities related to the non-governmental sector. We invited 18 leaders of the civil society organizations to the first edition of the Partnership Academy. The concept of the Academy is based on the multidimensional meaning of the word PARTNERSHIP in the space of civic activities. PARTNERSHIP is cooperation, building bonds between people and generations. Empathy towards another person, their views and priorities. PARTNERSHIP is also awareness of the surroundings and the local community in all its diversity. It is sensitivity and respect for man and nature. By introducing changes for the better around us, we change the whole world in small steps. Today we need a new approach and vision of a world where human well-being is achieved with respect for the environment and human rights. Important elements of the Partnership Academy are: interactivity, exchange of experiences and good practices, organization of conventions in various places and contexts in Poland, access to knowledge developed by an international team from Central Europe and Norway.
