The new project, which brings together 8 countries and 10 partners, aims to act in defense of democratic values and to combat the years of decline in civil society in Central and South-Eastern Europe. As a consortium leader, Ökotárs and our regional partners implementing the project believe that we can be able to create healthier communities through self-organisation. We represent different countries and work in different environments, but the challenge we face and the change we are struggling with connect us. Our dream is a thriving civil sphere that operates in a democratic and supportive environment. This project is our joint effort to support upholding democratic values of Central and South-eastern Europe by strengthening civil society - through capacity building, fostering cross-border cooperation and joint European action.
