2022: New programmes, achievements and the importance of vision

The year 2022 was an important one for the organisation. Read here the milestones from the past year:

  • In autumn, Academia launched the final editions of this year's training programmes in supervision and management in social services, as well as five courses for practitioners in the social sector. One of these was aimed at professionals from the Republic of Moldova. 
  • The latest programme FLIP - Future Leaders International Programme ended with great success. Through this programme, 20 future leaders from six national offices of CONCORDIA, coming from the fields of social services, finance, communication, projects and fundraising, were trained over a period of six months. 
  • The FOCUS - Forward Looking Social Europe Skills project was also completed this year. This examined and explored key skills for professionals in the social sector from the perspective of the next decade, as well as opportunities for development and training at individual, organisational and systemic levels. 
  • Also this year, the Education Includes Opportunities Academy was completed, and a new methodology was developed to facilitate the school inclusion of severely vulnerable children.
  • 2022 brought the activation of the e-learning platform online.concordia-academia.ro, which provides valuable resources for social professionals to network and collaborate. 
  • Academia also launched the scholarship programme, where private companies can purchase scholarships awarded by CONCORDIA Academia to professionals in the social sector. This will increase access to training programmes, supervision and coaching services. 
  • Currently, the Academia team is working tirelessly to accelerate social innovation and develop a new essential product: training for palliative care professionals.
