During 2024, the STRING Association had the opportunity to participate in the third edition of the "Ostavi dobar trag" program, organized by Erste Bank in collaboration with partners: the Solidarna Foundation, Social Prudence Consulting, Panda Communications, and the Erste Foundation. This program, designed for nonprofit organizations, provides educational and mentoring support to help organizations achieve financial resilience and develop innovative programs for their beneficiaries.
As part of the "Ostavi dobar trag" program, members of the association participated with their initiative Culture Blend, which was designed to connect different cultures and generations, fostering understanding, tolerance, and creativity.
Through the educational modules of the "Ostavi dobar trag" program, members of the association honed their skills in developing a social business model, fundraising strategies, and improving communication skills. As part of the program, the association prepared and presented its campaign to promote intercultural dialogue to a panel of experts and a wider audience. According to the mentors, String is "ready to leave a lasting mark, not only in the lives of its workshop participants but also in the broader community to which they dedicate their work."
The "Ostavi dobar trag" program demonstrated how collaboration between the corporate and civil sectors can bring about positive changes in society. The String Association thanks Erste Bank and all partners for the opportunity to participate in this inspiring project!
