On 2 and 3 February, the project “CSO Dialogue – Platform for Structural Participation in EU Integrations” will organize training for civil society organizations, envisaged to increase knowledge and skills required for participation in EU integration processes.

The three key topics that will be covered at this training include: increased availability of information and support for participation in policy making processes related to the EU accession process; creation of necessary preconditions for quality involvement of a broader spectrum of civil society organizations in institutional mechanisms for consultations, and increased civil society impact on the country’s accession process.

The training is intended for CSO representatives in need of specific skills and information that would allow them to specifically utilize their participation in consultation mechanisms, as well as for small and grassroot civil society organizations that need encouragement to joint policy reforms, consultations with national institutions and with the European Commission.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, work methodology for this training includes live sessions via ZOOM, tools for interactive engagement and discussions with participants.

A total of 15 CSO representatives from the country will be selected for participation in this training.

All CSO members interested to participate in the training need to complete and submit the relevant application by Monday, 25th January 2021, the latest.

More details about the training are available in the Invitation Letter, which has been distributed to all civil society organizations registered on the platform “Dialogue to EU”.
