Description
The challenge of Estonian civic organizations is that their management is often hierarchical, decisions are made on top and the potential of their membership is not fully used. The project will bring to Estonia knowledge and skills of management models such as sociocracy, holacracy and self-organising organisations. Such models promote shared responsibility within organizations and better engagement of membership into decision-making thus raising the capacity of civic organizations in Estonia. In the course of a project a training on sociocracy and holacracy is carried out for members of civic organizations, a new management training program is developed in Gaia Academy and a pilot training is going to be delivered for members of civic organizations and activists.
As a result of the project, there is public information in Estonian about management methods using collective wisdom; a training program has been developed and available for civic activists and civic organizations. Approximately 80 active citizens and 25 civic organizations have gained knowledge and skills to practice leadership and management based on collective wisdom and self-organization. The project is carried out in partnership with Teeme Ära Foundation and Let''s Do It World NGO. Partners provide input in developing new management training program.
