01.06.2023. Athens, Greece
Local workshop of NGO educators on competencies
for advocacy of vulnerable people in Greece
The local workshop was implemented in 1 June 2023 in Athens, Greece,
by partner Hellenic Antipoverty Network, led by Panagiota
Arvaniti, Project Manager.
The activity increased the competence of 32 NGO educators in the
field of social inclusion. The target group of this activity was NGO
educators - staff, experts and volunteer specialists with various
ages (22-63), Greek nationality (32), both sexes (28 women, 4 men),
persons with low-income and unemployed (19), persons with different
educational level (higher - 23, professional - 9). However, every
target group member's level of education and previous experience in
promoting non-formal adult education are key determinants for them
to participate and expand their knowledge in this activity, then
pass on their knowledge to the members of their organization,
especially to the most vulnerable people.
This workshop was aimed at increasing knowledge and information
about competencies for advocacy of vulnerable people in Greece. The
workshop started with an analysis of what advocacy, vulnerability
and poverty are. The participants discussed the capacity of network
organizations to pursue their goals for advocacy of vulnerable
groups of population.
Through informative materials and discussions, HAN educators
Mariannella Kloka, Mado Baboula and Spyridon Psychas
shared their experiences of the situation within the association and
put together proposals that will contribute to the improvement of
the socially inclusive environment and the advocacy process. This
workshop also provided an opportunity to involve in the discussion
the participants with less experience in the programs offered by
Erasmus+ and in the context of the European dimension. Attracting
educated professionals to the NGO network will be an important tool
for increasing people's well-being in Greece.
At the end of this workshop, the results achieved were evaluated and
no less then two proposals were summarized.
