Dear friends,

Summer weeks gave us an opportunity to gain new energy. This energy will be important for us to accomplish our autumn plans that—I am sure—we all have. We will be able to maintain it if—besides strictly work plans—we will also carefully plan activities in the area of self-improvement through gaining new knowledge and skills. In these challenging and unpredictable times, our learning can never stop!

We are here to support your learning. We start autumn with the interactive online training-of-trainers course Online Learning Methodologies and Tools. The event is part of the four-year EU-funded project Structural Reforms Better Integrated within Fiscal Framework (FISR2) that started in June. If you are a public official working on a particular sectoral policy at ministries of finance and line ministries, HR specialist, team leader, and practitioner responsible for organizing online training for your staff, then this event is for you! 

There are many other events lined up in our autumn calendar that we invite you to join. We worked hard to engage excellent international and regional experts that will offer you relevant knowledge on the latest developments in your area of expertise. 

We promise we will create an environment where you will be able to meet your peers throughout the region of South East Europe and share knowledge with each other. This is an area of our expertise that we are very proud of! Knowledge is an accelerator of development for you personally and also for your team, institution, and country. 

Looking forward to welcoming you at the CEF headquarters in Ljubljana, at many venues throughout the region, and online!

Jana Repanšek
CEF Director

PS: Technically, there are still some summer days left. If you have not done it so yet, visit the CEF Blog for summer reading. Perhaps in the future, you can become an author of one of such blogs. Think about it.
