Irish summer school to discuss philanthropy
Howard Lake | 10 March 2009 | News
The fourth annual summer school in June organised by the Centre for Nonprofit Management at Trinity College in Dublin will focus on the topic of Philanthropy in Ireland.
The summer school will provide an opportunity to examine the nature and practice of philanthropy. The event will draw on the experience of other active and leading thinkers and stakeholders in the area of philanthropy.
The 2009 summer school will be the first of a series of three schools which will address the broad theme of ‘Resourcing Civil Society in Ireland’, with future schools addressing the related topics of Social Entrepreneurship, Volunteering, Nonprofit and Civil Society Education, and the relationship with public sector policy and service delivery.
Dr Helmut K. Anheier will present the keynote address at the summer school. Dr Anheier is Professor of Sociology at Heidelberg University and the academic director of the Heidelberg Centre for Social Investment.
The summer school runs from 16th – 17th June at IMI, Sandyford, Dublin 16. The fee is €250.
