THE MLUVME SPOLU PROGRAMME KICKS OFF

In addition to financial support, nine winners of the MLUVME SPOLU 2014 grant programme have begun to receive also training within the T-Mobile Fund Academy.

The first workshop, attended by representatives of non-profit organisations from different parts of the Czech Republic, was held at the operator’s headquarters on 29 January. Sponsors from among T-Mobile’s employees will now be assigned to the winning project originators who wish to receive further training to guide them through the programme and help them with their further development.

The winning organisations can choose from a large number of development activities ranging from coaching and one-on-one specialist consultations to practical seminars and workshops. The aim of the grant programme and the Academy is to assist organisations in solving their specific problems in their local communities.
