The CSO Admin project aimed to address a significant need among young Europeans: developing the skills required to establish and manage civil society organizations (CSOs). Through the project's implementation, we sought to provide accessible, practice-oriented education, enabling young people to contribute effectively and impactfully to their communities. Specific objectives: Development of an online course (MOOC): Designed to equip participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge needed for CSO management. The MOOC covers essential topics such as organizational strategy, fundraising, team coordination, and effective communication. Creation of a collaborative mentoring platform: This platform facilitates continuous interaction between young people and experts in the field. It supports the development of practical skills through mentorship and networking, connecting participants with professionals and mentors from various CSOs. Promoting civic engagement and international collaboration: By organizing dissemination events and training sessions in each partner country, the project encourages active youth participation and the development of a transnational support network.
The CSO Admin project was initiated to address the urgent need to train young Europeans in establishing and managing civil society organizations (CSOs). While many young people are motivated to actively contribute to the development of their communities, they often face challenges due to a lack of essential practical knowledge and skills in this field. The CSO Admin project offers a solution by providing free access to a collaborative mentoring platform and an online course (MOOC) dedicated to CSO management. These resources foster equity, inclusion, and broader active engagement of young people.Through the resources provided, the project promotes education and training in CSO management, supporting young people from diverse backgrounds, including those with fewer opportunities. Developed by the "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galați in collaboration with European partners and NGOs, CSO Admin contributes to building a united and responsible civil society at the European level, preparing a new generation of leaders in the civic domain.
