Dear Civil Society Actors,

In our fourth international event, we intend to connect civil society actors from ten countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Germany, France, Moldova, Poland, Russia and Ukraine.

Our main objective is to foster the dialogue between civil society actors from the targeted countries as the EaP and Russia, cooperation countries as France and Poland, and Germany. We want to inspire you with topics connected to organisational and digital sustainability and provide a space for project development and creative networking.
