The main objective of the project is to raise the level of expertise at least 110 representatives of non-governmental organisations working in the field of law-making. The project will place particular emphasis on training for organisations in the field of labour law, commercial law, economics and financial analysis. In addition, the project aims to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders involved in the law-making process at national level. This will be achieved through practical participation in public consultations. In summary, as part of the project, we will organise 17 training sessions and 30 consultation meetings.
Project participants will be able to develop their knowledge through basic (online and residential) and specialist training courses, as well as during consultation meetings. In addition, on the platform created as part of the project e-database knowledge and on YouTube The most interesting content will be published.
