Funded by PEACEPLUS until July 2028, the CORE project will offer training, mentoring, cross-border partnership support and an online knowledge hub for NGOs. Starting this Autumn, we will be offering a series of training sessions to help organisations acquire the skills and knowledge they need to develop cross-border projects.

Booking is now open for the first of these training sessions in Belfast.

Training event: Governance for a Resilient Environment, Wednesday 4th November, 10:30am – 3:30pm, Belfast.

Clayton Hotel, 22-26 Ormeau Ave, Belfast BT2 8HS – a ten-minute walk from Belfast Grand Central Station.

Topics the training will cover:

• Building and recruiting an effective board
• Developing the policies that keep an organisation accountable
• Building the structures and systems that help organisations grow sustainably, whether they are volunteer-led, staffed, or a mix of both

Takeaways will include:

• A board skills audit and recruitment plan that you can use straight away
• Knowledge sharing with environmental groups, North and South
• Discuss challenges and solutions with a network of peers
• Opportunities to forge relationships with other organisations

The training is open to eNGOs in NI and the ROI.

Places are limited and registration will close at 23:59 on 20th October.
