The following organizations were present: The Resources Center for Public Participation<\/a>, GRSP Society<\/a>, PACT Foundation<\/a>, The European Institute for Participative Democracy Qvorum<\/a>, The Mediation Council<\/a>, The Hungarian Minority Party<\/a>, The Young Entrepreneurs Association from Romania<\/a>, The National Authority for Sports and Youth<\/a>, The European Students Union<\/a>, The Rroma Party<\/a>, Ameya Solutions<\/a>, SMART Development Centre<\/a>, and The Department of the Romanian Diaspora of the Romanian Government<\/a>.
