Get involved with ICSW 2019!
If you are over 18, you live in Belgrade, speak English, have a good will and free time this is the right invitation for you!
International Civil Society Week (ICSW) is a global gathering for civil society to connect, debate and create shared solutions. For the first time this year, this global gathering takes place in Serbia, from 6 to 12 April 2019, organized by CIVICUS and Civic Initiatives. The event will begin with a two-day (6-7 April) Youth Assembly for ICSW delegates in Novi Sad, the European Youth Capital for 2019, before moving to Belgrade for the main event (8-12 April). We expect up to 1000 people from all over the world to participate in the event, and the sessions will be held by more than 30 partner organizations. This event is based on the values of equality, tolerance, inclusion, sustainability, transparency and diversity.
The three-day ICSW 2019 program will consist of three interconnected tracks:
Bridges: the aim of this track is connecting participants and building alliances
Streets: the aim of this track is to explore what are the sources and forces of civic action
Stairs: the aim of this track is to share tools, resources and skills that enhance citizens’ participation
