Effective networking and relationship building has a direct impact on a CSOs success. The Civil Society Acts Beyond Borders’ two day “Networking and Relationship Building” workshop provided participants with these critical skills. Held in Tel Aviv, Israel on August 11 and 12, this event began with an introduction to networking for CSOs, a breakdown of the conceptual frameworks inherent in relationships, a presentation of strategic models of relationships in Europe, and various interactive exercises to enforce the presented information. On August 12 participants learned effective communication skills, team building, methods to ensure collaboration, communication and trust, and cross-sector conflict management. Within and between CSOs, the skills presented in this workshop are imperative to foster success and synergy.
