FDSC is launching a new mentoring programme for associative movements in Romania, and during the next 9 months they aim at assisting at least 15 groups of citizens and/ or early-stage grassroots NGOs in structuring their activities of that would influence the quality of community life.
Awareness of what goes beyond the private sphere of our lives is on the rise (our bet is on that), and improving the quality of individual life is possible only in a community with which we share the same values. We need to convince those who govern that public decision must reflect citizens’ will. The drive of a group of determined people may cause a snowball effect with significance in the local, national or European decision.
