NGO.Sustainable

Strategic partnership on empowering informal groups and young NGOs (Erasmus+ KA2)

We know how hard it is to build an idea starting from zero:
How do we set up a brand? How do we organize ourselves? How do we set and achieve our goals?

When we first started we got that help. Now, it’s time to give it back. 

This is why we are part of the NGO.Sustainable programme: Through this project, we will offer the tools 🛠️
to small groups and new initiatives, so they make their own pathways to success.

And, ultimately, make the change they’d wish to see in the world a reality.
