    ACTive NGOs network`s journey continues for building community spaces for cultivating local ecosystems

    The beginning of April has been marked with a reunion, celebration and a significant review moment for the participants of the URBACT project “Riga NGO House - platform for cooperation between non-governmental organizations and municipalities” (ACTive NGOs). On April 7 and 8, 2021 the project participants and other stakeholders met in a virtual environment during the international final event “ACTive NGOs: creating community spaces for the development of local ecosystems”. The project has come to an end, but the work is still going on and the partners can still continue developing the idea of an NGO House in their cities.
