Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to the International Training Colloquium in Sustainable Development that will be held in : New York City, NY - United States, from June 9th to June 13th, 2014 and Lome, Republic of Togo, from June 16th to June 20th, 2014 More than 20 innovative and informative workshops sessions, interactive discussions and impactful networking prospects will comprise the Environment, Culture, Economy and Society international Colloquium themed Strenghtening Capacity in Sustainable Development, presented by Ecofuture Fund. Participants will be exposed to a variety of innovative solutions to common problems faced in the sustainable development sector and beyond, and gained tools for finding new ways to approach and solve their organization's challenges. The Ecofuture Fund is conducting Capacity Strenghtening Training Colloquium designed for people who plan to work or volunteer in community development, or who already work in this field and want to advance their careers. The Ecofuture Fund uses as its basis, a framework of rights-based development and the Ecofuture Fund Approach. This multi-sectoral, participatory approach focuses on the empowerment of people as both the ends and means of a genuine sustainable development process. We are training and consulting with organizations from around the world. Overview: This program uses a multi-sector, participatory approach that focuses on empowerment of people as both the ends and means of a sustainable development process. Rather than teaching prescriptive solutions to community problems, we provide you with the tools to use the community's input and vision to create options and solutions that truly meet community needs. The program helps you learn through case studies, exercises, and group discussions, providing a complete learning environment. You will learn from, and share experiences with, practitioners working in the field around the world. This program gives experienced practitioners a fresh perspective and provides novices and volunteers the training they need to be successful working in the field of development. Description: This year, we are keen on further increasing the number of participants by proposing an even more attractive, innovative and focused program that handles all the aspects of sustainable development and capacity Strenghtening. More than 20 courses will be offered during the training event including: Microfinance and the Role of Women, Local Communities and Climate Change Mitigation Strategies, Social Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development, Financial Management, Fundraising Techniques etc. The complete courses list and description can be found on the program webpage at: http://ecofuturefund.org/workshops.html We expect participants from: Governments and International Organizations, Civil Society, the Business Public and Private Sectors, Academics Institutions and Leaders and Private Individuals amongst others.
