Description

ENL´s experience shows that youth organizations want to participate in the processes of Estonian society, but they have to deal with internal problems, such as low quality of management and low sustainability, and they rarely learn from each other. The goal of the project is to increase the quality of management and operational capability of ENL´s members and to share each other’s best practices. One part of the project is to work out a development program. Youth organizations analyze their operational capability, work with experts on individual development plans, participate in three training modules, and provide a mentor for each leader to help with their personal development. Beneficiaries: 15 youth organization leaders and members will participate in the development program; 61 ENL member organization leaders and members will share their best practices and participate in trainings.
