Grant Helps Denmark Chapter Elevate Education
By MPI Foundation | Jun 8, 2021
An MPI Foundation grant helped the MPI Denmark Chapter host a one-day training course using the Event Design Canvas methodology.
“The course went really well—it was beneficial to the attendees, interactive and highly educational,” says Anne Dalgaard, chapter president. “The course was a great success and received a satisfaction score of 4.8 on a five-point scale.”
She says the training course is information-packed, and that breaking it up into two days could be even more beneficial.
Dalgaard says the grant made it possible for the chapter to offer members a certificate course on top of the “ordinary” seminars—a more substantial educational offering than was previously available.
“An educational offer like this makes it possible for us to show our members that there is more to MPI than our local seminars—that we are part of something bigger!” she says.
In 2018, the MPI Foundation awarded 256 total scholarships totaling US$292,238.
