Volunteerism Commissioner to participate in a discussion on "Opportunities and Challenges for Social Activism"

The Commissioner for Volunteerism and Non Governmental Organizations, Mr Yiannis Yiannaki, will participate today, Wednesday 24 March at 4:00 pm, in the online discussion organized by the European Civic Academy on the topic: "Opportunities and Challenges for Social Activism" and will focus on "Integration: for people by the people?".

The problems and the way of participation of people and communities that are marginalized in the democratically organized civil society and social movements will be analyzed.

The discussion will focus on how active citizens can contribute to integration and encourage the participation of disadvantaged groups of citizens, given also the significant negative impact on citizen participation created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

High-level speakers from the academia sector, representatives of civil society and social movements, and the European Civic Academy and others will have keynote presentations.
