  • The importance of defining the collaboration structure and communicating in the case of a public-civil partnership – Youth Center Dubrovnik

    For the last year and a half, Platform for Lazareti and Youth Center in Dubrovnik were working on establishing community centers based on the civil-public partnership. At the same time, they were working on bettering the communication and collaboration between the NGOs, but also with the representatives of the City of Dubrovnik. For now, both of the cases are successful examples, and a part of it is due to the knowledge they've received during the „Active NGOs“ project and collaboration with the URBACT lead and ad-hoc experts. GjinoSutic and Anja Markovic, a small but important fraction of the Youth Center are giving us their insight about the process and new developments in the case of the Youth Center as well as their unique approach to governance models.
