Strategy Workshop was organized in the framework of Fundraising Multiplier Training Course, with aim to discuss general issues related to YTNF project, evaluate and improve cooperation and communication between partners. During 3 days – July 2nd – 4th a group of regional managers and representatives of partner organizations met parallel to working groups to discuss these issues.

The biggest part of the Workshop was dedicated to communication between all partners, cooperation and decision making between all partners, and possibilities to improve it. Most attention was paid to Steering Group and proposals to improve communication and decision making system via email. Other issues discussed were bilateral and multilateral projects and cooperation between partner organizations, fundraising and coordination of fundraising efforts, involving PMT members in international communication, common vision and approach to publications, other PR and supporting materials produced in the framework of the project publications.

These discussions helped to update representatives of all organizations, involve new activists in discussion and planning on international level, develop plans and divide responsibilities for future activities and work. It was very much appreciated by the participants to have the opportunity to meet, discuss situation in each organization, realization of local projects and development of capacities of PMTs, and raise issues relevant for each partner organization.
