C@rma aims at supporting NGos with the skills of corporate professionals. But can we really transpose these skills from the corporate world to the NGO ones? We asked our strategy expert, Devrim Zumrutkaya from BMGI his opinion.

More than 75 professionals shared their skills in 9 sessions to provide a value of 15.000USD free consulting services to the participating NGOs. This was a first in Turkey!

FEB 2015: PRO BONO Summit in Berlin: Pro Bono? It rings a bell...isnt it the stuff some lawyers are doing and why is the C@rma's team all the time speaking about it?..Well yes it is the service that some lawyers are giving for free but not only lawyers. Throughout the world, plenty of professionals are using their skills not only to support NGOs but also to enhance their leadership skills and engage with their team workers.
