NGO Management in Times of Corona
Date: 18-19 June 2021 Language: German
How can an NGO successfully manage its work in times of Corona and its challenges? The aim of this training is to provide FUEN member organisations with the necessary knowledge and skills in NGO management that will help them to adapt their activities to the challenging times. We will not only look at the current public life, which is marked by restrictions, but we will also dare to look into the future and learn what preparations we can already make in our work for increased relaxations in public life until the end of the Corona.
Expected number of participants: 20.

Sofia van der Vegt enjoys writing - with her first novel almost finished- plays tennis, meditates, and loves spending time with her family and friends who happen to live all over the world. She is a devoted mother of three and speaks three languages at home, as she believes each language we speak opens the door to another universe.
