The Bodossaki Foundation’s Social Dynamo is the expression of the Foundation’s vision of a dynamic Civil Society that acts, influences and engages. It is an award-winning initiative for Civil Society capacity building in Greece, offering comprehensive support to Civil Society actors, with a focus on learning, professional support and networking.
Just as a dynamo accumulates and transforms energy, so Social Dynamo aims to build and develop the skills of Civil Society organisations, by transferring to them know-how and providing them with opportunities for collaboration and networking.
The services of Social Dynamo are accessible throughout Greece, through the participation of interested actors in organised targeted activities as well as online. The Municipality of Athens and the Municipality of Thessaloniki are the strategic partners of the initiative for its activities within them.
Social Dynamo is also supported by a network of partners such as the Hellenic Centre of Volunteer Managers (HCVM) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC-Greece), along with over 80 volunteer mentors and coaches from the private sector, NGOs and the academic community.
Since its founding, Social Dynamo has recorded 22,173 participations in its activities from representatives of civil society organizations and institutions. In total, Social Dynamo has benefited 1,644 organizations from every geographic region of Greece, while an extensive network of 350 mentors and partners has provided training and pro-bono professional support services totaling more than 6,269 hours.
