Munich. The first capacity-building workshop for the recipients of the current edition of the Intercultural Innovation Hub (IIH) took place in Munich, Germany from 15 to 20 October 2023. Hosted by the BMW Group, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), and Accenture, the workshop focused on the topics of organizational development strategy, sustainable project scaling, as well as pitching and effective storytelling.
At the center of the workshop were representatives of the grassroots organizations from Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Guatemala, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Mexico and South Africa, which were recognized in May 2023 during a ceremony held in Berlin, Germany. They participated in a series of training sessions at the BMW Group Headquarters and Accenture’s offices, which aimed at bolstering the capacities of recipient organizations and improving the long-term impact of their projects, allowing them to sustainably expand and replicate their initiatives in other contexts.
During the workshop days at BMW Group, inspiring presentations alternated with enriching exchange formats based on the principle of learning from and with each other. In addition to that, the representatives received insights about the personal journey of Steffi Biester, Founder of KICKFAIR e.V. and one of the very first recipients in 2011, who lead through one of the workshop days.
The training in Munich is part of a year-long, tailor-made comprehensive support package provided to IIH recipients. In the several months prior to the workshop in Munich, the recipients attended a series of webinars and masterclasses implemented in collaboration with Accenture and the IIH pool of experts.
