Short description of the project
The project will be implemented in the Baltic Sea region by 8
non-governmental organizations from Latvia, Russia (the Kaliningrad
Region), Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark and Norway.
The overall objective of this project is to deepen the understanding
of the role of civil society and to empower the NGO network to
contribute to the strengthening of the social and health promotion
sector by applying the basic principles of the European Pillar of
Social Rights and other social rights instruments.
One training seminar, 7 seminars / practical workshops and one open
conference will take place in partner countries in order to
implement four project tasks. These activities will improve the
knowledge and skills of the target group (16 NGO experts in the
social and health promotion sector) and strengthen the partners'
capacity for cooperation and advocacy of topical interests in state
institutions and municipalities; the dissemination of information
within the Baltic Sea region on the role and opportunities of NGOs
in advocacy in decision-making processes will be ensured through
brochures consisting of summarized NGO experts' conclusions. The
planned project budget is DKK 444550, co-funding of the Nordic
Council of Ministers DKK 310000 included.
