Why Do International Organizations Need This Training?
From grassroots NGOs in developing countries to the world’s largest multilateral
organizations, there is one essential ingredient to success – strong communication
between people. Small NGO’s need the tools to organize themselves, rally support for
social, economic and political change, and create a collective vision. Large
peacekeeping and development organizations need these same skills. Tools for
communication, negotiation, team building and conflict resolution are essential to the
complex process of globalization. As the world becomes smaller, our need to understand
each other grows.
Whether it is a small village in Kenya or the staff of a UN agency, Elisa Levy’s seminars
are designed to build community commitment to change and create a unified vision. Levy
works with your organization prior to designing a training to understand your goals,
priorities and problems. She then designs a seminar that is tailored specifically to those
needs. After the training she follows up with key stakeholders to ensure that these tools
are put into practice.
