🌍Why Sweden?

Held in Kopparberg, a quiet village surrounded by forests and lakes in central Sweden, this retreat combines professional growth with relaxation and connection. Imagine sharing insights over warm FIKA coffee breaks, walking through snow-covered paths, and experiencing Swedish Christmas traditions – while reflecting on your NGO’s next big leap.

💼 What You’ll Learn

You’ll work hands-on with the brand-new Financial and Marketing Strategies for Youth NGOs Guide – a 150-page practical manual full of real examples, ready-to-use templates, and case studies developed through the Erasmus+ project “Unlock Cross-sectoral Cooperation” by Awesome People (Sweden) and Projekta Malta.

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Understand how to create a sustainable financial plan for your NGO.

  • Learn marketing techniques that truly connect with your audience.

  • Develop your own strategy for 2026 with expert guidance.

  • Gain access to digital tools and templates for your organisation.

  • Build lasting international partnerships with fellow NGO leaders.

No accounting or marketing degree required – just motivation and a willingness to grow!
