Are you a non-EU citizen living in Hungary and plan to start your own NGO? Do you already work/volunteer for a migrant organization or look for a career in the civil society sector? Then the free training programs offered by Subjective Values Foundation in the fall and winter of 2017-2018 are ideal for you.
The four 30-hour capacity building programs cover the topics of management, fundraising, communication and intercultural skills, and can be completed independently from each other.
The aim of this series of training programs is to develop the capacity of migrant NGOs and prepare non-EU citizens to create their own NGOs so that they can effectively advocate the interests of their communities. To additionally further these aims, a limited number of participants will be offered legal assistance to start their organizations. Those registered in the program will also be invited to take part in a series of consultative roundtables with public authorities and administrative bodies, alongside and after the trainings.
Although the subject areas of the four training programs are related, separate certificates are granted upon completing each, and any of them can be joined without the prerequisite of completing the previous ones.
