9th Danube Participation Day
Resilience through Diversity: Involving Civil Society in the Danube Strategy
The 9th Danube Participation Day takes place on 18 October 2022, back-to-back with the 11th EUSDR Annual Forum.
This year, the Danube Participation Day (DPD) explores the question: How can we build a resilient society with the EU Danube Strategy?
In doing so, we will focus on two concrete aspects:
- What role plays participation of civil society for a resilient territorial development in the Danube Region and how can we support it?
- How can the EU Danube Strategy support Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova on their path towards EU membership?
The start of our journey takes us to taking stock of the state of play of participation in the EU Danube Strategy. The Danube Civil Society Forum (DCSF) and PA 10 Institutional Capacity and Cooperation conducted a survey in summer 2022 on participation of civil society in the Eu Danube Strategy. The results of this survey provide a starting point to discuss benefits, expectations and shortfalls of participation and how to shape effective ways for dialogue.
An equally important question is, how the EU Danube Strategy can contribute to the accession process of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the European Union. In particular, the Danube Participation Day aims to examine how participation of civil society in Ukraine and Moldova at national and macroregional level contributes to a fruitful accession process.
Against this background, the 9th Danube Participation Day will discuss expectations of civil society/stakeholder involvement , success factors for civil society participation, and lessons learnt from over 10 years of experience with different ways of stakeholder involvement in the Danube Strategy.
The 9th Danube Participation Day will focus on:
