32 online and 7 hibrid events increased the possibility of flexible participation all around the country, 16 offline events enables in-person discussions, skill development and networking.
We had the honour to find several media partners for disseminating the messages. Appearing 5 times in radio, 4 times in television, 4 times in print and more than 25 online articles delivered our messages, the event and the importance of the topics to appr. 1.000.000 contact points.
We are glad that both those more mature organizations could be involved who have already good practices (by enabling them to share or present them or participate in forward looking discsussion identifying common action areas) and organizations who are just starting the route (by finding good examples, learning about sub-topics, reaching out to a supportive network).
