Solidarity and efficiency, together better
The article begins with the so called training view or the need for permanent training or development of the capacities of NGO’s such as management techniques and as the root of relational ties. The three inter-related training systems are analised next: the boost system (change of frame of mind), the internal system (internal change) and the external system (social change). The first one entails an understanding of a globalised society, the reality of of risk society and a more complex social reality. The internal system tackles sustainable organizational growth, quality in its two-fold aspect, control and management and the necessary interdisciplinary factors found in social intervention. The external system, or social change, the duality between the organization and social movement NGO’s have. On the basis of these three axes, interconnected among them, the article analises training as opportunity, as a work method and style and as a shared group experience.
