EDUCATION – TRAINING

Since 2016 Fotoessa has been active in non-formal education. The training seminars and workshops organized by Fotoessa’s certified trainers and instructors are theoretical, practical, experiential and interactive, as well as seminars that provide certifications. The training seminars mainly concern the promotion of intercultural dialogue and the development of intercultural skills (Certification by the Anna Lindh Foundation in Intercultural Citizenship Education), social and creative entrepreneurship (Certification by the University of Manchester in CSEP), the strengthening of civil society, the empowerment of young people’s participation in social and public life, the consolidation of human rights and the promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda).

Fotoessa is an authorized trainer of trainers for the Creative & Social Entrepreneurship Program (CSEP) of the In Place of War (IPOW) awarded organization of the University of Manchester.
