A Trip to Trieste - meaningful participation or a nice bowl of spaghetti alla vongole?

SS Srdjan Susic Public Seen by 428

Our online consultations are great, but it is also important to be in the epicenter of the CSO Forum in Trieste. Would you consider joining us there? European Fund for the Balkans and Heinrich Boell Foundation would love to see you there. Please, apply here http://balkanfund.org/2017/05/open-call-for-participation-in-the-civil-society-forum-trieste/.

Spaghetti and Vongole are wonderful and will be a welcome addition. But meaningfull partcipation both in the online process and in Trieste itself is a great opportunity to take matters we care about into our own hands and DO something with that chance. So... I am joining in with enthusiasm and inviting others to do the same.

One BIG thanks to all of you for your inputs so far! On behalf of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, I would like to let you know that we will consolidate your inputs from this discussion and put them up for a vote in one week. This public vote will enable us to transparently select up to three topics to be discussed during the Civil Society Forum in Trieste in July 2017. Outcomes of these consultations and those of our discussions in Trieste will result in a Western Balkans CSO Declaration on Environment, Energy and Climate Change to be included in the overall CSO Declaration that will be presented to the WB Prime Ministers on the WB Summit on 12 July 2017.

So, your inputs remain really important. Please, consider that only those topics to be proposed by WB CSOs here in this consultative process will be discussed in Trieste and presented to the Prime Ministers. We are looking forward to your inputs!
