Description
"<< Background >>Foundation Ignacy Krasicki's XBW (FXBW) carries out activities aimed at supporting Poland's economic development and promoting good practices in the field of CSR and ESG. FXBW's key activities focus on education and supporting business, including MSMEs, in developing knowledge and skills, creating ESG strategies and new business models using innovative solutions and effective management methods. We applied for funding for our project to develop the competences of people associated with FXBW and stakeholders in the field of educational activities regarding CSR and ESG. We noticed a huge gap in the level of education and training in the field of sustainable development among the SME sector, therefore the key objective of the activities was to develop solutions for entrepreneurs, especially from the SME sector, allowing them to acquire knowledge in the field of ESG - including, among others: reports, training programs, case studies, podcasts, workshops, ESG manual. Building a partnership allowed for: 1) a much better understanding of European markets in terms of solutions in the ESG area 2) acquiring institutional partners for further international cooperation 3) exchange of experiences and good practices.<< Objectives >>Participation in the project allowed partners to: 1) learn other perspectives, methods, tools, good practices necessary for further development of the organization and partnership cooperation; 2) preparing, analyzing and identifying case studies based on experiences 3) identifying key skills and practices 4) gaining a fresh perspective; 5) learning about EU markets; 6) strengthening cooperation between organizations, including building networks and strong relationships; 7) increase in competences and qualifications in the area of vocational education and training.The project allowed the partners to launch, both locally and internationally, with good practice solutions in the project area and acquire the necessary tools to develop services supporting ESG leaders. After completing the project, each partner plans to further develop and implement the developed tools in their institution and disseminate them in partner institutions not only in the country but also abroad. The partners hope that this will be the beginning of a long cooperation. The synergy effect resulted in increased efficiency of activities, a wider number of contacts and greater opportunities to create new solutions in promoting good practices.<< Implementation >>ACTION 1: 1) a survey questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was developed 2) 10 individual in-depth interviews (IDI) were conducted according to a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions 3) 2 group interviews (FG) were conducted on 22 and 24/03/23 - 14 people took part in them 4) The desk research analysis was summarized in the collective document and is the project result 5) 2 methodological workshops - meeting of international experts to learn about Polish and Irish practices in Poland 2 x 2 days (27 -28/03/23 – 7 people; 14 & 16/06/23 – 12 people) 6) 4 articles for the EPALE platform 7) Construction of an ESG Leader training program 8) 4 case studies 9) 4 ESG podcasts 10) 10 document templates 11) Conference disseminating the results of activities in Poland and promoting the competences of the ESG Leader (15/06/23 - 37 people; reach - over 135,000 people).ACTION 2: 1) 10 case studies 2) 1 online workshop (17/07/23) 3) 30 worksheets 4) Knowledge compendium 5) Tips for SMEs 6) Example of a non-financial report 7) 2 x articles on EPALE 8) Manual for SMEs 9 ) Networking-seminar (16/10/23; duration over 6 hours; networking sessions, 3 presentations and a webinar on ESG) 10) Construction of the training program - duration 24 hrs<< Results >>Effects and results: 1) gaining a fresh perspective 2) identifying key skills and practices 3) learning about markets 4) strengthening cooperation between organizations, including building networks and strong relationships 5) gaining broad theoretical and practical knowledge through the transfer of experiences and joint activities; 6) increasing the competences and qualifications of ESG leaders in the area of vocational education and training 7) access to the transformative strategy ""holistic ESG leader"", in which EDUS specializes 8) implementing developed tools and methods in your institution and disseminating them in partner institutions not only country, but also abroad; 9) submitting another joint project.
