Training and Strategic Advice

In times of rapid changes and technological progress, keeping up to date with the latest tools and trends is important for communication and project staff alike. We give trainings, advisory services, coachings and strategic advice (both online and onsite) to a variety of clients from the public and private sector on different topics, for example on how to draft a communication strategy; communication and EU projects/programmes; storytelling and pitching techniques; non-violent communication and visualisation techniques; social media management; media outreach strategies or how to produce videos in different formats.

Dorothee is also a certified youth trainer and helps our clients to develop international projects and look for (EU-) funding to put them into practice.

In 2025, we started a pilot project to develop series of online trainings on how to access EU funding. The first course was in Spanish and we are now working on future editions in Spanish, French and English. If you are interested, you can either join our waiting list or purchase recordings of our last course.
