The third edition of the School for Activism concludes

Representatives of over 20 organizations that successfully completed the School for Activism-Edition 3, today were closely informed about the opportunity to benefit from expertise in various fields through the mentoring process that is offered free of charge to the School participants.

During a reception at the KCSF premises, they had the opportunity to exchange ideas and present the current needs of their organizations, which could be supported through mentoring and the creation of sectoral groups for the European integration process.

At the same time, they received the final certificates of participation in the third generation of the School for Activism.

At the opening of this ceremony, Anne-Sophie Houee, Team Leader – Cooperation Section at the EU Office in Kosovo, emphasized that the EU welcomes the support of the KCSF for the CSOs participating in the School. “The EU welcomes the essential support of KCSF for building the capacities of over 20 CSOs which are now better prepared to protect the rights of their communities, reduce gender inequalities and promote better actions that respond to people’s needs. The EU is committed to continuing to support a dynamic, strong and accountable civil society sector in Kosovo”, stressed Houee.

Meanwhile, Dren Puka, Director of the Department at KCSF, underlined that the conclusion of the third edition of the School for Activism means that over 70 organisations are now better prepared to work in the community and contribute to public life. “The cooperation of KCSF with the CSOs participating in the School for Activism, with the continued support of the EU, will continue further through the mentoring process that will be offered depending on the needs of the organisations”, added Puka, among others.
