TRIALOG training event on EC proposal writing in Sofia

TRIALOG organised a 2day training on May 8-9, 2009 in Sofia (Bulgaria) in view of the 2nd stage of the 2008 EC Call for Proposals on Public Awareness and Education for Development in Europe. The event targeted those organisations whose concept notes of projects have been pre-selected in the 1st stage of the Call for Proposals and who have been invited to submit a full application to the EC by May 26, 2009.

10 participants from Bulgarian NGOs worked on 3 different project proposals to raise awareness in Bulgaria on development issues.

In addition to the content related input and formal aspects of the call, a very important side effect of the event consisted in the coordination of the three participating Bulgarian project teams. For them, it was the first time they discussed in detail overlaps as well as possible synergies between their planned projects. It was a challenge to find the right balance between coordination and differentiation and to define topics, activities and strategies without doubling efforts in the same country or region.
