Capacity Building

Involves acquiring a set of concrete skills and competences both at a personal as well as social level capable of transforming lives in positive ways.

The impact of capacity building is direct and can be measured.
ESE:O’s builds capacity in democratic literacy in the global South.

Our workshops, projects and materials aim at developing skills and competencies in writing (both for academia, policy making, advocacy and the arts), critical thinking, social communication, accountability and adhering to international standards.

ESE:O builds capacity in peoples and groups that have traditionally been excluded from legitimate recognition: women, children and youth, native peoples, sexually diverse peoples, activists and researchers in human rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights, and artists.
