On May 19 in Sofia took place the first in a series of hybrid workshops organised as part of the Partnership Fund’s capacity-building component of the PACT project. The event focused on the topic “Just Transition: Inclusion and Equal Participation for all” and brought together more than 50 representatives of the funded initiatives by the fund.

Participants explored practical examples and tools designed to promote inclusive and equal participation in civic processes. The seminar also featured an interactive hands-on exercise, enabling attendees to apply the presented approaches and resources to real-life contexts.

A highlight of the programme was the guest speaker from the Sofia Development Association foundation, who shared valuable practical experience and good practices related to just transition and social inclusion.

Additional perspectives were provided by the representatives of the European Citizen Action Service (ECAS), who introduced practical community engagement tools and shared successful examples from their work in other projects.

The workshop series will continue on 9 June, on the topic Digital transformation.
