About the Organization:

A civil society organization is a non-profit, non-governmental association voluntarily created by citizens around common interests, goals, and values. These organizations work to improve public welfare in various fields such as education, healthcare, environmental protection, human rights, social justice, and more. They operate on a non-profit basis and often serve as a bridge between the state and society.

Problem description:

In the process of preparing for a presentation, taking the first step is the biggest challenge. Questions arise: "What if they don't like it?", "What if I can't say everything?", "How do I convince the audience?" or "How do I convey the main message?". It's particularly challenging to talk about ourselves, our organization, and our work in a way that's interesting to the audience. Often, determining where to start and which direction to take the conversation is challenging. There's also a frequent desire to fit all important issues into one presentation.
