Welcome to the website of Changing Tides Consultancy & Training!

Changing Tides provides participatory and energetic trainings, consultations & coaching and facilitates meetings and events. Expertise includes participatory processes, online learning, capacity building of multi-stakeholder groups, and the process of EU enlargement and EU legislation specifically in the area of rural development. But also financial management and administration support for (small) NGOs and Foundations.

On this website you can find out more about what Changing Tides can offer and about me.

If you would like to know more or if you would like to discuss a specific request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

On my blog page you can also learn a bit more about me and how I work. I write posts about stuff I consider useful to my (potential) clients, like civil society organisations and networks. I write about social media tools that I find helpful in training, online learning, facilitation and participatory processes; about videos that inspire me to look at things from a different angle; websites that contain useful resources for NGOs and others involved in participatory processes and capacity building; and some background on work that I do or have done, like developing and guiding Green Agenda processes for local sustainable development and supporting efforts to develop shadow reporting.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Suzanne Bakker
