Ewa Voelkel-Krokowicz, Owner and CEO of Concordia Design
Our classes gave me an international „helicopter view” and great insights that I use in my day-to-day practice. Philanthropy for Impact allowed me to develop a new community focused on building and cultivating democracy in Central and Eastern Europe via philanthropy.
Martina Břeňová, Director of Open Society Fund Prague
The Learning Journey is the perfect experience for people who are already advanced in their careers and committed to philanthropy. By taking you out of the daily grind, the programme gives you a chance to ’zoom out’, focus, and reexamine your plans to make them more impactful and produce real systemic change. Classes with Harvard faculty and shared experience with peers is both intellectually emotionally rewarding. This programme will give leaders who feel ’lonely at the top’ knowledge, inspiration and energy.
