The aim of the project is to raise the capacity and the competence of the
civic actors and social groups active in local, regional
and national level in Serbia and to assist them in order
to have a constructive and effective role during the phase
of transition that the whole country is going through. The
target groups of the projects are the main actors of the
civil society, including NGOs, local authorities and
government, local and national media and the general
public.
The main activities will be: the training of 30 trainers, 152 awareness
meetings, 52 workshops on issues that will focus on the
role of NGOs, partnership aspects among the civic society
actors, media participation and awareness and their
relation with NGOs, the establishment of a data bank, the
publication of the newsletters, herewith the first issue
is presented, in 3000 copies in 12 issues/editions of
which the 1000 will be in English version,
180 broadcasting through radio
and 180 broadcasts through TV.
The overall objective of the project is the capacity building of
organizations and institutions of Serbian civil society through
seminars, trainings and transfer of know how, expertise
and techniques concerning management skills, fundraising
activities, etc. Apart from this,
the training activities of the project are going to
make organisations and institutions, active in within the
civil society, work more professionally and functionally.
It is likely that through such an approach these
institutions will acquire internal structures capable, to
face external difficulties, well-educated and experienced
personnel as well as the chance to face the reality and
solve recent political problems in Serbia.
Through the activities of
trainings, awareness meetings, workshops and seminars,
this project will establish a good cooperation links and
partnerships between local authorities and other social,
economic and political actors (NGO, media, associations,
institutions).Also, the aim of the
project is promotion of independent media, including the
fact that they are the one of
direct and the most important actors and target
groups of the project (printed, audio-electronic and
video-electronic, local, regional and national media).
Media will not be only a target group of the project but
the mean of its implementation as well, - it was announced
by the "European Perspective", Hellenic N.G.O.
Only
to remind - "European Perspective" through the
Forum NGO in Kraljevo, has already implemented significant
projects in the Region of Kraljevo that were well accepted
and efficiently
realized. This gives us a guarantee for the new project of
this Hellenic Non-Governmental Organization. |
