Description
The aim of the current project is to make internal communication of Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF) better in order to prove the functionality and sustainability of the organization. Current internal communication system was developed nearly 20 years ago and needs updating. The main problems with internal communication have been mapped together with our team: we need regular systematic information exchange, up-do-date conference equipment, procedure to create and close ad hoc project teams and better knowledge on internal communication. During the project up-to-date video conference equipment will be purchased, effective information exchange methods between workers, volunteers and supporters will be developed, new procedure on creating and closing ad hoc project teams will be introduced and the tradition of internal trainings will be created. ELF staff as well as volunteers and supporters will benefit from the project. Improved internal communication will help to communicate environmental problems in the society more efficiently.
