  • In search of co-creation and collaboration through organic grow – story of NGO centres in Dubrovnik, Croatia

    Dubrovnik shouldn't only be known for its problems with mass tourism or its UNESCO uniqueness. It should also be known for its longstanding tradition of active citizens and NGOs. In the last decade of their organisational development, NGOs have been preparing and taking the next step in the form of civil-public partnerships and social-cultural centres. In Dubrovnik, there are two successful examples: Platform for Lazareti and Youth Center. As it is common when forming new alliances and especially social-cultural centres (NGO Houses as in the case of Riga, the Lead Partner City of the ACTive NGOs URBACT network), the question of suitable governance and decision-making models is the most important, but also a rather difficult one. However, with the help of the knowledge transferred in the “ACTive NGOs” project, these centres may have found the solution for this issue.
