Webinar 'Coalition Synergy: Building Sustainable Successful Partnerships' (English)
Channel: spolek ARNIKA
Date: 2023-11-30

Program of the webinar held on November 20, 2023 with a participation of partners from environmental initiatives in Armenia:

As first comes a presentation by Zuzana Vachůnová, a coordinator of  international projects in Arnika. She is speaking primarily about a building of broader environmental coalitions, both formal and unformal, and about an experience from few of such cases, that is from the very broad coallition of the Czech NGOs Zelený Kruh, and from an alliance formed in Bosnia and Herzegovina to defend local rivers against an uncontrolled construction of dams.

Ńext speaker is Radek Kubala from a Czech environmental and social think-tank Re-Set, a platform focused on both examining current ecological issues, seeking their solutions, promoting social-ecological transformation and finally helping grassroots initiatives and other collectives in doing so. His speech is providing a needed context in a form of theory of the organizing and coordinating coalitions, about founding a stategy and thinking about internal power relations. Radek is also bringing few examples of the Czech local activities, mainly focused on a socially just coal phase-out.
