BACKGROUNDThe context of Third Sector organisations is changing fast. Most of the organisations are not very much adapted to the new reality. This situation begs for a change in the management culture and style. New competences are required and in service trainings in all over Europe should adapt. Competences such as Social Innovation, Advocacy, Entrepreneurial Skills, Social Innovation approach, Impact Evaluation, use of Social Media, Emotional Intelligence, etc. are a need and the figure of Third Sector Leader strikes.“The question which remains is whether Third Sector leaders can overcome historic rivalries and the competition for scarce resources to forge a new strategic alliance and a strong strategic narrative vision to exploit that latent power, and provide leadership to empower the whole sector.”Third Sector leadership the power of narrative, The Third Sector Research Centre, Birmingham, 2012THE PROJECT IN FEW WORDSThe project creates a strategic partnership among organisations dealing with Third Sector management and leadership in the European Countries.
