How can civil activists and IT specialists be useful to each other? On these and other questions, they searched for answers in Veliky Novgorod in the first meeting-dating Novgorod social activists and IT specialists. Mitap held the Novgorod Regional Public Fund for assistance to non -profit projects.

“Recently, the authority of non -profit organizations has been growing. The state pays significant attention to the activities of socially oriented non -profit organizations. Public organizations, movements, initiative groups provide social services to the population, express the interests of citizens and organize them on an independent solution to problems.

However, unfortunately, not all NPOs pay attention to their image, their publicity and openness, their recognition among the target audience, not everyone has new technologies and often communicating with society, the media, power, business does not bring the desired effect. To solve the problems of non -profit organizations, it is necessary to use new visual information forms and methods to bring communication between different structures of civil society to a new level, ”said Nina Viktorovna Kostenko, director of the programs of the Novgorod regional public fund for promoting non -profit projects.

According to the survey, the majority of NPOs need to create a website of the organization of the event of an individual page of the event. Organizations are interested in technologies for collecting funds and attracting volunteers. Civil activists are interested in teaching and increasing competence in the field of information technology. NPOs would like to take part in mitaps, test camps, hackathons on the subject: youth and young family, a healthy lifestyle, creative programs, etc.

“In college, there is a long -term practice to build cooperation with organizations and institutions. Our students study in two specialties - some work with iron, others write programs. Often computer scientists work together with designers - college students. Many students study and fulfill orders, serve sites, getting experience and earnings.

Some become winners of different competitions and receive scholarships. Our time dictates the need to have a portfolio among students - specific work and experience have a big plus in employment. We are interested in our students have more opportunities for practice, training, including working with non -profit projects, ”says Marina Aleksandrovna Savinova, a teacher of special disciplines of the Polytechnic College of the IMC NovSU.

During Mitap, agreements arose on the conclusion of a multilateral agreement on the interaction between the Polytechnic College of the ICS of NovSU and the NPO of the region. A proposal was made to create training programs for NPOs in the field of banking, conducting skype sessions and video conferences, as well as conducting college students from IT specialists of the NGOs. Two working groups on the development of sites for NPOs have been created.
