As a part of the “Civil Society in Action for Dialogue and Partnership” project, Citizen Association “Democratic Centre New Hopes” Bihac, which is one of the partners in the project, organised a training with the topic „Communicating Skills and Public Relations“. The Training was intended for Municipality workers /local government officials from the municipalities/cities participating in the Project, and it was held from 13th to 14th of December 2012 in Bihac (BIH).

The goal of the training was to strenghten the capacity of local authorities in cooperation with NGO’s and with the society in whole, in order to facilitate the process of creating and implementing the local Agreements on cooperation.
In parallel with the training, there was also one more activity of the project implemented. This was the thematic meeting of working groups for support the civil society. By forming these workgroups the cooperation was continued with the representatives of local NGO’s, experts, think-tank groups active in monitoring and implementation of the cooperation agreements between the local authorities and civil sector, as well as existing NGO networks that are active in promoting good local government and building inter-sectoral partnerships. The meeting was attended by some of the veteran NGO activists from BiH, like Šefika Muratagić (Kljuc) and Vehid Šehić (Tuzla), which gave to the workgroups weight and efficacy.
