Many thanks to all of you for your support and understanding; direct and personalised attention and your excellent teaching!!!!!!!
I really appreciated the great conscientiousness and concern with which you dealt with each of us; you were always ready with the right guidance, open-minded and committed to making us learn for the future, our lives and our local areas. I believe you have enabled us to do much more than achieve an individual professional milestone, qualification or access to other options in the labour market; you have given us the skills to be better human beings who are more useful to our own people.
I give you my eternal thanks and my best hopes for success. Let’s keep in touch!
- Claudia Jimenez, former participant in Delnet - Bolivia
The examples that you gave me within each unit, i.e. experiences from other countries, were really helpful for the development of future projects, they enable me to see other options for the development of more sustainable tourism using all the resources that Bolivia can offer.
The platform itself contains plenty of information (Infodoc) on various subjects that allow me to develop other projects over and above the tourism projects and this makes it a great advantage of the course in its own right. Because tourism is a horizontal activity, you can find information on different areas within Infodoc.

I am 100 per cent satisfied with everything that the cause offered and I have absolutely no complaints.
Thanks to all the Delnet team, it has been a marvellous professional and life experience and I hope I’ll be able to put into practice everything I have been able to learn during these months and each and every one of the observations that you made during my assessments and in the final project.
One particularly important aspect for me, because my work consists of supporting groups of female rural entrepreneurs, is undoubtedly the one point that you stressed again and again: the strategic management of human resources, because this skill enables you to implement methods to improve the operation of any group and transfer your knowledge to the effective organisation, planning and development of any project.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

The course was very effective at clarifying ideas regarding the creation of new local development projects or even other types of projects, such as for fund-raising. In particular, the practical manuals are extremely helpful when it comes to putting theoretical learning into practice. In my case specifically, I was able to develop a new fund-raising project during the course for my productive microcredit institution, based on local development in small towns in our region, with the aim of generating employment and income. As we were awarded the finance, I was promoted to coordinator of that project and assumed a new position within the company, so now I am able to propose and coordinate other projects.
One detail I’d really like to emphasise is the efficiency of the tutor service, which was always fast to respond. This is very important in making the students feel really connected to the course, as they can be sure their questions are being analysed competently and will be answered somehow. Congratulations on the working structure.

I was very happy to receive my final assessment and I’m taking this opportunity to thank all the tutors for your efforts in passing on your knowledge throughout this period.
It was just so great to be on the course, networking, exchanging experiences and knowledge. We are working together to make our world a fairer place!
- Vinícius Alvarenga, former participant in Delnet - Brazil
I think that during the whole time the course was running, the training was really quite useful. Despite the difficulties caused by lack of experience and practical know-how, we gained a lot from the course.
The Final Project was a particularly big challenge. Even though we don’t work directly with Local Development, we had to have in-depth knowledge of the region – whether it was gained from research, from information gathered or from projects belonging to other entities and bodies. Finally, we were able to grasp the difficulties involved in the whole process of town development using home-grown potential when faced with the enormous problems which confront us – mainly socio-economic, as in the case of the chosen town.
SoSo I’m grateful for the opportunity and everyone’s collaboration. I hope I’ve learned a bit, a least, about the complexity of the issue of Sustainable Local Development.
