What Students Say
"This has given me a very helpful insight into the world of planning and management in NGOs. A wide range of topics too that have both addressed questions but introduced a lot of things I never knew I needed to know! It is challenging to hear from the experiences of others and very helpful to work through an actual example case study to design a project."
“A really enjoyable week. Great insights and training. Thanks!”
