EUCLID study visit from Moldova and Ukraine

The UK-based EUCLID network organised a study visit to Brussels and London for over 30 participants from Civil Society Organisations in Moldova and Ukraine. The Euclid Network is a community of civil society professionals who want to connect across borders for a stronger, more innovative and sustainable European civil society. The Network organises many capacity building and networking events.

The Study visit participants included youth organisations, community workers, regional development organisations from both countries. For 2 days in Brussels they could get familiar with the work of EU institutions as well as CSOs.

The TRIALOG Policy Office based in Brussels organised a networking meeting. There the EPAN (Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood) working group was presented and its work concerning the region. Other organisations active in Ukraine and Moldova and at the policy level in Brussels were present as well. The meeting was successful, as several participants explained that the topic of advocacy at EU level was very interesting.

The study visit was sponsored by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). To learn more about EUCLID visit: www.euclidnetwork.eu
