Communities Communication

Overview

In 2017-2019, we participated as a partner organization in the international strategic cooperation project in the field of youth – “Comm.comm – Communities Communication”. The project was led by NGO JVG from Portugal and there were also partners from Spain, Romania and Greece. The aim of the project was to find new (digital) solutions for communication between rural residents of different ages. A survey was carried out in all regions of the partner organizations, which resulted in a handy mobile application and support material for youth workers. Within the framework of the project, one meeting of partners also took place in 2018 in Saaremaa.
