ABOUT THE PROJECT:
During the pandemic, in extraordinary circumstances, it is not possible to use protests as a democratic tool without creating a health risk, considering that the measures such as social distancing cannot be implemented. Another obstacle for using protests in the time of global emergency is the growing anxiety and apathy that is being recognized among our fellow citizens. Having all this in mind, it is important to strengthen the neighborly relationships between Eastern European countries in order to discover new ways of using civil voices in a safer environment and cherish democratic values by giving power to the people.

We are looking for partners, we have the lead organization.
