Policy Prone Organisations

It has been designed with the aim of incorporating the basic knowledge and skills necessary to integrate different rights areas into the works we carry out with the intersectionality approach, thus increasing our advocacy capacity and strengthening our impact on the change we want to create, and the suggestions presented to us on mainstreaming.

Civil society organizations that want to integrate different rights areas into rights-based studies and organizational structure that they carry out with an intersectional approach, and civil society activists, volunteers and employees who are curious about the concept of mainstreaming and want to consolidate their knowledge can join Policy Prone Organizations. In order to follow the program, there is no need for any basic knowledge and skills related to the topics covered.

Policy Prone Organizations consists of 4 courses. The content of each course was designed independently from each other, but in a way that supports each other.

• 501 - Sustainable Development and Global Goals
• 502 - Gender and Mainstreaming
• 503 - Child Rights and Mainstreaming
• 504 - Refugee Rights and Mainstreaming

Policy Prone Organisations was designed with a long-term training course approach. The long-term training course does not only refer to the duration, but also emphasizes a method that feeds the development processes of the participants with different tools and focuses on participation and experience. 

Policy Prone Organisations come up with this point of view. Each course title in it is primarily a comprehensive and structured capacity strengthening training that combines the participants' practical experience in the field with academic and professional knowledge. Based on the learning-by-doing and adult education approach, it gives the opportunity to experience and reflect on the issues and concepts that are at the center of organizational capacity. 

We have two options for joining the Policy Prone Organisations. One is a face-to-face course program. It covers a period of 4 months. Every month, we meet, talk and discuss with the experts on the topic in the training course with 3-day meetings. 

Another option is the online Policy Prone Organisations training course, which we complete at our own pace of learning and planning. The online content includes key concepts, discussions and information for the courses covered in the course program. As such, it forms the basis of the face-to-face course program, and having completed the online content during your application gives you a priority.
