Sostenga is part way through delivering a 3 year contract to develop community work training in Poland. A partnership between CAL, a Polish NGO, the Polish Government and EU funding created a project to develop the skills of social workers in Poland. Sostenga is involved in the part of the project which is aiming to develop specialism in community social work/ community organising/ community development which social workers can take as post qualifying training. There are a number of strands to this work organising exchange trips to UK for the steering group and for project participants from rural areas, small towns and cities, and a final one for those who will take the project forward; the visits are to community projects within different arts of the UK working with the project to devise the outline training programme and to supply a range of training materials that could be adapted and used on the programme working with the project to develop an impact evaluation process for the project attending conferences and providing input on different topics.
