Stimati parteneri, Dorim sa va tinem la curent cu evolutia proiectului european Organizatiile Societatii Civile din Bulgaria si Romania: Spre o Europe pentru toate varstele derulat in cadrul programului de Networking al Comisiei Europene Sectiunea Societatea Civila Bulgaria si Romania, in care organizatia noastra este partenera. Promotorul proiectului este organizatia ZNANIE din Bulgaria iar parteneriatul este compus din organizatii din Bulgaria, Romania si Cehia. Proiectul a debutat in Decembrie 2005 si are o durata de doi ani.
Proiectul isi propune sa vina in sprijinul organizatiilor societatii civile din Bulgaria si Romania pentru ca acestea sa-si intensifice programele si actiunile menite sa asigura un tratament egal pentru toate segmentele populatiei, in special populatia de "varsta a treia" care reprezinta o categorie vulnerabila si are nevoie de o atentie speciala din partea institutiilor ce constituiesc Societatea Civila. Principalul scop al proiectului este de a asigura un tratament egal pentru toate categoriile de populatie. In cadrul proiectului, au fost selectate un numar de 30 de ONG-uri din Bulgaria si Romania care au participat la o serie de seminarii cu privire la intensificarea activitatilor adresate populatiei de varsta a treia si fenomenului de "imbatranire activa". Reprezentantii acestor ONG-uri au avut de asemenea oportunitatea sa participe la doua vizite de studiu in Europa, pentru a putea observa exemple de bune practici in randul altor institutii europene ce deruleaza activitati adresate acestui segment de populatie. Astfel, in perioada 14-21 Septembrie 2006 reprezentantii ONG-urilor insotiti de coordonatorii proiectului au calatorit in Germania si Finlanda, iar in perioada 21-28 Aprilie 2007 in Germania si Olanda. A treia vizita va fi organizata in perioada 23-30 iunie 2007 in Germania si Cehia. Inainte de vizita de studiu, vor mai fi organizate o serie de seminarii internationale in Bulgaria, in perioada 16-19 iunie 2007. Se asteapta ca la sfarsitul celor doi ani de cooperare, ONG-urile selectate sa-si fi dezvoltat capacitatile organizatorice si manageriale pentru a putea desfasura activitatile de promovare a fenomenului de imbatranire activa si sa fi dobandit metodologiile necesare pentru a oferi servicii si sprijin public grupului tinta, precum si pentru a initia proiecte si acivitati pe cont propriu. Va multumim anticipat pentru atentia dvs. si va com tine la curent cu evolutia proiectului. Cu stima, Simona Capatan Societatea Romana pentru Educatie Permanenta Dear partners, We would like to keep you informed with the evolution of the European project The Civil Society Organisations in Bulgaria and Romania: On the Way Towards a Europe for All Ages in the framework of the action of the European Commission Networking Programme Civil Society Component Bulgaria and Romania, where our organization is one of the partners. The coordinator of the project is the organization ZNANIE from Bulgaria and the partnership is composed of organizations from Bulgaria, Romania and Czech Republic. The project started in December 2005 and has a duration of two years. The project aims at assisting the Civil Society Organisations in Bulgaria and Romania in strengthening their operations and actions aimed at ensuring equal treatment of all groups of population, especially the "third age" population who are the vulnerable groups and demand special care from the Civil Society institutions. The main aim of the project is to ensure equal treatment for all categories of population. Within the project, 30 NGOs from Bulgaria and Romania were selected and participated to series of seminars aimed at intensifying the activities addressed to the third age population and the phenomenon of "active ageing". The representatives of the NGOs had also the opportunity to participate to two study visits in Europe in order to observe examples of good practices among other European institutions that carry out activities addressed to this segment of population. Thus, in the period 14-21 September 2006 the representatives of the NGOs travelled to Germany and Finland, and in the period 21-28 April 2007 to Germany and Netherlands. The third visit will be organized in the period 23-30 June 2007 in Germany and Czech Republic. Before the study visit, another series of international workshops will be organized in Bulgaria, in the period 16-19 June 2007. It is expected that at the end of the two years of cooperation, the selected NGOs will have strengthened their organisational and managerial capacities to pursue their statutory activities in promotion of active ageing and will have been equipped with methodologies on provision of services, advocacy and fundraising. Thank you in advance for your attention and we will keep you informed. Yours sincerely, Simona Capatan Romanian Society for Lifelong Learning
