🤔 Why should we keep pushing for 🇪🇺 #enlargement❓ Hear it straight from our #EuropeChats with DG NEAR Director-General Gert Jan Koopman ⤵️

Una de las experiencias mas gratificantes de este verano ha sido la mentoría llevada a cabo con Alejandra Correa de la #AsociaciónCasaLibélula en el marco del programa #RisingStarsMentorship. Más que una mentoría, ha sido una oportunidad para crear alianzas con quien compartes prioridades estratégicas. Me ha cautivado la claridad y el compromiso de Alejandra con el reconocimiento de los derechos de la #infancia a la #participación democrática en contextos rurales. Me quedo con ganas de más 😊 Si trabajas por la #democracia #participativa y quieres fortalecer tus capacidades, asómate a la oportunidad que brinda #RisingStarsMentorship mediante Nets4Dem, con la colaboración de People Powered y Asociación Coglobal.
