The Center for Regional Policy Research and Cooperation – CRPRC Studiorum within the frameworks of the Pilot Training on Active Citizen Participation held the Conference for Active Citizenship at the EU Info Center, Mission of European Union.

CRPRC Studiorum with the support of the Association of Local Democracy Agencies (ALDA) implemented a pilot training on active citizenship in our country.
