CEKAS, registered institute and its history
The idea to establish CEKAS, registered institute (CEKAS) has emerged from the work of a group of people who for many years have been implementing projects in the field of social policy, social services and education.
CEKAS was established on July 2, 2015 to support:
A) social policy, in particular social services and active employment policy,
(B) human resource development, in particular education,
C) management and development of services quality,
D) social economy,
(E) research and development in the field of social, evaluation and methodological activities.
In these areas, our nonprofit organization focuses on working with our professional partners with whom we want to:
Prepare and implement partnership projects supporting cooperation between the NGO sector, the state sector (Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, Ministry of Education and other institutions) and the local authorities (regions, cities and communities) with a focus on the social area and education.
Implement pilot projects in the development of new methods and approaches in social work.
To be the mediator of best practice experience in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Support and support social service providers and other social actors in implementing quality management systems based on quality standards.
Provide accredited training programs.
Perform fundraising for the areas listed above.
