Description

The main goal of the project is to use cooperation in order to strengthen organizations representing minorities. NGO Pärnu County Minority Nations Organization Raduga has already expanded outside the County of Pärnu therefore the name does not reflect its activities correctly. The focus of the project is to unite minority organizations across three counties under one well functioning umbrella organization. The project will give a cooperation experience; it will enhance the management capacity and member organizations will have equally clear understanding of the process of the project. As a result of the project „Under One Umbrella“ a new statute of the organization will be drafted; the goals, the mission and the vision will be set. The action plan for the time period 2014-2017 and development plan 2014-2020 will be drafted. Throughout the project there will be 1 think tank event, 2 meetups, 3 seminars and 4 workshops organized.
