Visit of the Turkish Cypriot NGO Network in Slovenia

In the beginning of July (4th to 11th) 2010 twelve representatives of the Turkish Cyprus NGO network visited Slovenia to learn about Slovenian NGO networks. Sloga, who was coordinator of the visit, enabled meetings with more than 20 NGO from different sectors (healthcare, human rights, environment, education, culture, poverty) and 4 ministries. They were also welcomed by ambassador of Cyprus. The purpose of the visit was to understand slovenian NGOs, the process of building networks and cohesion among them, to learn about their projects and work with media. The most important and useful information they received was on influencing the legislation and on cooperation with government.
