Opinions

The conference was well-organized, very substantive, inspiring and with well-selected, diverse topics and examples of good practices. Many important conclusions were raised that are worth and should be further promoted. First of all, I liked the open, workshop nature of the event, which was not limited to just lectures, but also encouraged discussion and provided the opportunity, among others: with people for whom water is equally important, but often for a completely different reason (and point of view). Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such an event.

Michał Pancewicz, SCALGO

After the third training organized by the Sendzimir Foundation, I can see that from workshop to workshop the level of advancement and professionalization is getting higher, which translates into the quality of knowledge gained through participation. (…) The presented issues are always consistent with current trends and cover topics important from the point of view of the protection of the natural environment, social activities and the legal and economic environment.

Ola Gierko, Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław University of Science and Technology

A solid dose of substantive knowledge and positive energy. The great value of the training organized by the Sendzimir Foundation is networking with people from all over Poland who care about the future of our planet. I recommend it to everyone!

Dominika Dymek, Interdisciplinary Projects Department, Project Coordination and City Revitalization Office, Poznań City Hall

Thank you for meeting people who “speak the same language.” Working in teams with people from different industries but facing the same problems gave surprising positive results – solutions. (…) What I liked most was that our work had tangible value. And also amazing lectures: inspiring examples presented in a very professional way.

Katarzyna Zaleska, Office of the Municipal Green Architect at the Municipal Office of Lublin (2020)

Workshops are a huge dose of experience and knowledge, good new contacts and new light put on the tasks that we carry out.

Łukasz Pawlik, Deputy Director, ZZM Kraków (2018)

Thanks to the workshops, I have confirmed that many problems can be solved through the exchange of experience. It is a mine of knowledge and inspiration.

Katarzyna Przyjemska-Grzesik, ZZM Kraków (2018)

For me, the course was not only an opportunity to deepen knowledge, meet amazing people, but also a chance to change the career path. Two months after the end of the course, I started my internship at GRI in Amsterdam.

Barbara Kokoszka, GRI (2010)

For me, the implementation of practical projects was very important (…) and the project was carried out with business, which marked my further career path. I can confidently say that the Challenges of Sustainable Development is a unique educational offer on the market.

Sebastian Straube, managing director of Sustainable Brands Young & Rubicam (2008)

I met people who were a great inspiration and support for me, convinced me that sustainable development is not only a noble idea, but something to implement. (…) Thanks to this, I have been fully focused on implementing corporate social responsibility.

Ewa Zamościńska, CSRInfo (2007)

I have participated in many courses so far, but it is probably Challenges of Sustainable Development that will remain in my memory for a long time! Openness of instructors, diversity of classes (debates, workshops, games, practical projects), positive people full of passion and ideas for their implementation!
