The Civil Society Leadership Programme, CLPU for short, took place for the first time this year and lasted for two intensive weeks. From 14 to 23 October, the NGO Academy welcomed twenty leaders from Ukrainian civil society organisations here in Austria. The programme began in a retreat setting in Payerbach, Lower Austria. There, the participants got to know each other and the first content-related sessions were held. The second part of the programme took place in Vienna and included field trips to innovative social institutions, as well as a Q&A session at the Austrian Foreign Ministry with Minister Alexander Schallenberg. The 20 participants made a decisive contribution to the programme with their infectious energy and dedication. Click here for more information on the programme.
