A group of 22 participants from 10 countries in Europe and beyond met in Mount Medvednica Nature Park (Croatia), from 26-31 of May 2024 to participate in a New Coach Training organised by CCNet Europe. It was a diverse group with participants working for NGOs, universities, government agencies, foundations and donor organisations, as well as some independent consultants. The trainers were Catherine Payne (Alcedo Conservation), and Ilke Tilders and Annette Olsson (both FOS Europe). This event was supported by The Nature Conservancy Europe and CCNet Global.
