Civic Participation in Public Policies and Local Development
The project stimulates the involvement of non-governmental
organizations in the regional development at the start of
the new century highlighting the challenges in front of
them in a more clear-cut context. During the second year,
the project activities are focused on the realization of a
number of training modules, which we have called the House
of Policies – NGO’s Effective Involvement in Regional
Development. The six training modules will be summarized at
the International Conference in Bourgas in September as
well as in a handbook with materials from the training.
