Workshops
Telling Your Organisation's Legacy Story:
Do you know your organisation’s history?
How do you tell its story? How do you describe and measure your NGO’s legacy socially and politically?
Learn how to identify and measure your organisation’s legacy. Think about where you hope your organisation will be headed in the future. Identify your social and political network of like-minded agencies. Do you share a similar legacy? Or how does your organisation’s legacy differentiate and why?
