Lack of competent personnel directly responsible for protection of animals and nature is highly pronounced not only in Serbia, but also in the Western Balkans. Luckily, there are young experts – lawyers, biologists, economists, geographers, teachers and activists – who are successful in their fields and ready to apply their knowledge and skills in order to protect nature and improve animal welfare.<\/p>\n

In order to provide nature and animals with allies and provide the experts with the additional knowledge they need, we have created a Leadership Training Programme within the\u00a0 ORCA Academy.<\/p>\n

The Leadership Training Programme (LTP) brings together experts of different profiles with the aim of empowering them through an intensive program to actively and independently contribute to animal welfare and nature protection<\/strong> in our country. Communication and leadership skills, public advocacy techniques, writing research papers and collaborating with the media are just some of the key topics of this program. With the help of a mentor, each student during the six-month training period prepares professional research papers and public advocacy campaigns that link his\/her vocation and interests to animal welfare and environmental protection.<\/p>\n
