I am looking for European partner NGOs to attend the Citizen Engagement workshop in Romania during May 17-23, 2010

I am currently developing “SMART Method of Public Policy” with European Union funding under the project “Public Policies Made by Citizens.” During May 17-23 I am organizing, together with my team, a citizen engagement workshop aimed at testing the participation platforms that serve SMART Method. We are also going to discuss about citizen engagement problems and opportunities, webcasting for participation, policy making skills, and marketing.

There is room left for 2-3 more participants aged under 30 years old, who are interested in participative democracy and who are active in a youth NGO. SMART Development Centre is covering the costs for travel, accommodation and food in Moeciu, the Carpathian Mountains.

To attend, please send an email to office@public-policies.org or call +4 0723 342410 until May 10, 2010. Organizations from Italy, France, Greece, and Romania are already attending.
