for proactively engaging in CSR
- CSR branding and communications: Engaging and inspiring
stakeholders and CSR branding.
- CSR strategy: From CSR departments to integration into core
strategy and beyond.
- Human Resources: How to engage staff, and how CSR can help
in professional development and to motivate, retain and recruit.
- UN Global Compact: Understanding the framework and how to
put it to practice
- Engaging NGOs: Engaging NGOs and forming sustainable
productive partnerships.
- Leadership in CR: Bringing values to the workplace and
developing leadership skills.
This year's workshop in London will
be held at Surya, the world's first eco
nightclub. Brainchild of multi-talented, multi-millionaire philanthropist,
Andrew Charalambous, the club features a high-tech dancefloor that
generates electricity when danced on. In Costa Rica, the workshop will
take place on the most scenic campus of the University for Peace.
The University for Peace (UPEACE) was created by the General Assembly of
the United Nations to provide an educational framework for the largest
challenge faced by humanity: to ensure a secure and equitable world for
ourselves and for future generations. The Centre offers shorter-length
workshops to leverage UPEACE's experience and expertise in skills-based
training. For more information and to register for the limited enrollment
