Civil Society at the Crossroads

7. mája 2019 @ 18:30 - 20:00

This panel discussion with international guest experts will overview the current situation in civil societies in the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania and Russia. The guest scholars will share the results of their studies on threats and hopes that civil society actors experience, political and legal conditions in their countries, as well as solutions that civil society actors apply to handle the challenges they face.

The experts will compare their countries’ situations and make some general conclusions about the similarities and differences of the current state of civil society organisations in their countries. They will also eagerly answer questions from the audience.

The panelists conducted their research in 2018 in the framework of the annual Report on State of Civil Society in the EU and Russia issued by the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum/ Гражданский Форум ЕС-Россия.

This Report offers a unique opportunity to read the narratives coming from civil societies on the challenges and solutions, comparison of interesting and irregular cases. This research pays a special attention to the trends in civil society and describes life of CSOs in all its current dynamics.
