Local workshop of NGO educators on competencies
for advocacy of vulnerable people in Latvia
The local workshop was implemented in 2 August 2023 in Salacgriva
county, Latvia, by partner EAPN-Latvia in cooperation with NGO
"Aicinajums Tev", led by Marite Rozentale, Chairperson of the
Board.
The activity increased the competence of 23 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 (35-79), Latvian nationality (23), both sexes (17 women, 6
men), pensioners (6), persons with disabilities (14), persons with
different educational level (higher - 5, professional - 11,
secondary school - 6, elementary school - 1). 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.
The content of the workshop was aimed to increasing knowledge and
skills to promote the advocacy for the interests of vulnerable
people in Latvia. The participants discussed the capacity of network
organizations to pursue their goals for advocacy of vulnerable
groups of population.
Through informative materials and discussions, EAPN-Latvia educators
Marite Rozentale, Irena Krieva and Diana Jasinska
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 Latvia.
At the end of this workshop, the results achieved were evaluated and
no less than 7 proposals were summarized.
