Today, 15 April 2021, the team of the e-Governance Academy, together with the ICEDA partners, organized the second webinar for ICEDA sub-grantees and members of the ICEDA network, directed towards promoting e-services and e-ideology. The aim of this webinar was to talk about promoting e-services and using new media to reach different target groups, share insights about how to build successful communication messages, and offer recommendations for democratic e-society. At the webinar, through interactive sessions, presentations, quizzes, national and group discussions, participants were able to exchange knowledge and experiences from their Western Balkan countries.

The training was intended for capacity building of sub-grantees and members of the ICEDA network from the first cycle of the small grant scheme LOT 1: Awarding sub-grants to e-government support centers, namely, from Albania – Artivista Center, Epoka e Re (New Epoch) and European Youth Association, from Kosovo – Democracy Plus, Forum for Civic Initiatives and Kosovo Youth Council, from Montenegro – Center for Youth Education, Roma Youth Organization “Walk with us – Phiren Amenca” and Super Hub Pljevlja, from North Macedonia – Association for Tolerance and Cooperation of Citizens (ACTAC), Rural Coalition and SmartUp – Laboratory for Social Innovation and from Serbia – Center for Social Integration, Deli – Space for Creative Activity and SINHRO.
