Smart Start Academy for transformation of CSOs in social companies

About the project

CRPM has established the Smart start school. Within the Smart Start School the CSOs complete an assessment and receive a summary report via email. The results will give them an overview of where organization is now and will establish what areas would be most useful/urgent to focus on. In addition, self-assessment in area of entrepreneurial capacities would enable CSOs to start thinking on new challenges and new skills needed in ever changing environment for CSO work. Secondly the Smart start school offers capacity building for social entrepreneurship encompassing six modules: introduction to social entrepreneurship, business planning; marketing; branding and communication of a business idea to customers. The training is delivered within 6 months (1 module per month).
