TELENOR EMPLOYEES<br />
FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS<br />
January <strong>2008</strong> – The INSPIRE leadership training program was organized <strong>for</strong> <strong>Telenor</strong>’s middle management, so that<br />
current and future leaders might gain tools and advice that would help them face challenges related to successfully<br />
organizing, leading and developing teams in circumstances of continuous and rapid change, as imposed by the<br />
mobile telecommunications market today.<br />
As part of both small and large teams, 66 managers from various fields and organizational groups participated in<br />
workshops, exercises and lectures which were an integral part of the training program.<br />
The final assignment <strong>for</strong> all training participated was a corporate responsibility project – the teams, each comprising<br />
of five members, were given the assignment to design and jointly carry out a support project <strong>for</strong> the “Milan Petrović”<br />
School <strong>for</strong> Children with Special Needs in Novi Sad.<br />
The exhibition held at the <strong>Telenor</strong> building, on January 24, <strong>2008</strong>, was the result of the joint work of two project<br />
teams, which opted to support the school by organizing sales exhibitions of handiworks, i.e. in<strong>for</strong>ming business<br />
partners of the school’s capabilities and requirements, with the aim of attracting the attention of a larger number<br />
potential long-term partners <strong>for</strong> the school.<br />
On this occasion, <strong>Telenor</strong>’s business partners had the opportunity to purchase works created at the school and at<br />
the school’s workshops, such as pottery, woven scarves, painted hats, one-off handmade pieces from the tailor<br />
workshop, baskets with spices and jam made at the school farmstead in Čenej, as well as paintings. Also exhibited<br />
were ten works of art donated to the School by Serbian painters, created during the fifth annual art colony “On the<br />
Canal between Two Bridges”.<br />
The projects <strong>for</strong> the school created by other groups included: costume concert, designing and constructing a bakery<br />
with a drying room, providing an adequate computer, designing, creating and maintaining school Internet through<br />
the development of a Web-base application, center <strong>for</strong> telephone surveying, producing bookmarkers, purchasing<br />
of a plastification and binding machine, media promotion of the school’s program and educating students on the<br />
rational use of energy and constructing didactic material.<br />
