Project Management for NGOs - Montevideo

Friends & Allies | Training

Montevideo

Two weeks from today I'm flying to Montevideo, Uruguay to deliver a repeat of the Project Management for NGOs training I gave in Prague in September, this time at an APC regional meeting and this time in Spanish! Once again, the APC folks have been amazing to work with, arranging to have my training materials translated and for translation services on the day. I'll be co-facilitating the training with APC member Danilo Lujambio, whom I met in Prague and who has generously offered to work with me to adapt the structure and content of the training to ensure its cultural relevance for the South American APC members taking part — thank you for all your help thus far, Danilo :)

Stay tuned for photos of my own (thanks for the unrequested use the one above, Libertinus), and for a complete set of Español templates and presentation materials!

STOP CLIMATE CHAOS

Amazing day yesterday at the I Count march and demonstration in Trafalgar Square — 25,000 people turned up to call for action against climate change (see the press release here). I worked as one of the Greenpeace UK stewards and I'm not kidding — the event really filled me with hope :)

Please head over to the I Count site, sign up, discover the power of OFF and start using energy-saving light bulbs already!

Happy International Project Management Day!

General

Today is International Project Management Day, the purpose of which is to:

Increase the awareness of the value of project management within the large business, government, small business, and social communities and promote project management as a true profession and key [organisational] strategy. This includes, but is not limited to: construction, information technology, entertainment, government, aeronautics, health care, ecology, social, disaster recovery, community improvement, and quality of life projects.

I'm happy to see "quality of life projects" in the list of included-but-not-limited-to project types. All important projects are quality of life projects, IMHO :)

Happy International Project Management Day!
