Our Groups

As the organization increasingly focuses on its active role in initiating various activities, it has been establishing dedicated working groups in recent years. They focus on specific topics and goals. Five such groups have been formed so far.
Each group meets several times a year, usually online. The tasks of working groups involve discussing current issues regarding the profile of a given group, exchanging experiences, coming up with initiatives and projects. All teams are managed by the BPO Secretariat, which organizes meetings, cooperates on conference topics, provides members with information and formulates proposals on matters of common interest regarding development.
