WHEN: 11th and 12th December 2009

WHAT: 2 days training on the managment of awareness rasing campaign

A very dense training has involved 18 people from Czeck Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Malta and Hungary for 2 days. The international group learnt about the European Agricaltural Policy, which represents the main framework for our rural development and it also effects the way the EU trades with its partner countries. Our interest in Nort/South relationship has been reflected in 2 regional focus: one on the ACP (Asian, Caribbean and Pacific countries) and the European Partnership Agreements with them, and one on the Mediterranean countries and the Barcellona process. Moreover, the group had the possibility to exchange experience and views with a Greenpeace Campaigner and a journalist, to understand what makes a campaign succesfull and how media interact with civil society and NGOs. During the workshop session, the participants planned a little campaign to put in practice the theory acquired during the training.
