Two projects approved on the Europe for Citizens program – 8/8/2013

The Europe for Citizens program is intended to co-finance international projects aimed at encouraging active European citizenship. By connecting the inhabitants of local communities in Europe and networking non-governmental and other organizations that operate within the framework of civil society, the European Union wants to improve the participation of civil society in the formation of Europe.
As partners, we applied for a tender at the beginning of June and were successful with as many as two projects.

Szemina Project – St. Nicholas in the spirit of European citizens is supported by the framework of the citizens’ meeting campaign. From 30.11.2013 to 6.12.2013, we will participate in joint Miklvažing in Romania, in Georgena in the municipality of Gyergyószentmiklós near Cluj (Cluj Napoca). The meeting of citizens from Hungary, the Netherlands, Serbia, Slovakia, Croatia and Romania will be attended by 20 representatives of the LAZ association. Miklavženje is also a very living tradition in the Jablaniška valley, so it will be an interesting exchange of experiences to revive tradition and take care of the preservation of cultural heritage.

The European Network of Civil Society Information Centers Project (European Network of ECRC) is supported in the campaign 2.2. Support measures and is a continuation of the ECRC project, which we are implementing in 2013.
