Civil society activists and entities cannot participate in local administration or interact with local councils without empowerment, because this participation will be superficial, weak, ineffective, and unable to demand and defend any of the demands of the groups and segments they represent.
Therefore, “Your Role 2” in the civil track was based on the empowerment strategy:
Empowering Knowledge

Workshops:
The project activities are designed in an integrated manner through a series of dialogue sessions with experts and specialists in the media field, in addition to training sessions, workshops and initiatives carried out by local communities.
